The Drive vs. The Immaculate Reception

http://www.sportsline.com/partner/prilosec

The Drive, Jan. 11, 1987 - John Elway directed a 98-yard drive to produce the score-trying touchdown with 37 seconds left in regulation of the AFC Championship game at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. On the drive, Elway passed for 78 yards ran for 20. He completed six of seven passes -- the incompletion intentionally thrown out of bounds. Rich Karlis's fiald goal in overtime gave Denver a 23-20 victory.

Immaculate Reception, Dec. 23, 1972 - The Steelers defeated the Raiders 13-7. The winning touchdown scored when, on fourth-and-10 from Pittsburgh's 40-yard line, Terry Bradshaw's deflected pass ricocheted to Steelers running back Franco Harris, who caught the ball off his shoe tops and raced down the sideline for the score.

Hmmmm...

Although "The Drive" will always have a special place in my heart, there's something to be said about a play that rips the hearts out of the Raiders...

15 play drive with several great plays vs. one lucky athletic catch? No brainer, The Drive by a mile!

Rack up another for the drive.

How many drives that start at the opponents 2 yard line go for 6 points, forget in the final 2 minutes of the game?

Not to take anything away from the immaculate reception, it just doesn't carry the same as the drive.

Remember, "The Drive" was against the team that became the Ratbirds!
