Correction: AP Was There-Immaculate Reception story

PITTSBURGH (AP) — In a story Jan. 14 about the Immaculate Reception game in 1972, The Associated Press erroneously said in the publishable Editor's Note at the end of the story that the touchdown came on the final play of the Raiders-Steelers game. There were 5 seconds left when Harris scored, it was not the final play.

A corrected version of the story is below:

AP Was There: Harris' miracle TD gave Steelers playoff win
