The Pittsburgh Steelers Week 16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Eve was a game that was full of emotion. Not only was it a late-season game in the bitter Pittsburgh cold between two teams fighting for their playoff lives, but it was also the game where Franco Harris’ No. 32 jersey was retired. The ceremony came just a few days after Harris unexpectedly passed away at the age of 72 on December 20. The Steelers honored Harris with the whole team wearing his No. 32 jersey while they walked into Acrisure Stadium, and they were also able to honor his legacy with a 13-10 win.
