NFL Legend Franco Harris dead at 72

The sudden death of Franco Harris, one of the most legendary members of the famed Pittsburgh Steelers dynasty of the 1970s, has shocked the sports world. He was seventy-two.
According to WUSA9, the family confirmed his death on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022. The cause of his shocking death is still unknown.
Harris was the powerful running back for the Steelers. He ran for 12,1201 yards and earned nine Pro Bowls. He also won four Super Bowls and was named both Rookie of the Year and was named to the All-Decade Team of the 1970s. Famously, in December 1972 he was the recipient of one of the most incredible plays in NFL history, dubbed the “Immaculate Reception.” Catching a ball that had careened off an Oakland Raiders defender, he then scampered into the end zone to win the playoff game as time expired.
The Steelers team, who had never won a single playoff game in its long history, was launched by that play. The franchise then won four Super Bowls in six years in the middle and late 1970s.

The sentence can be rewritten as follows:
Even more poignantly, the Steelers had scheduled to have Harris present when the franchise retired his No. 34 jersey at halftime of their game against the San Diego Chargers, but sadly he died just two days before the 50th anniversary of that unforgettable “Immaculate Reception.” During their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday, Dec. 24, the Seattle Seahawks wore their 32 jerseys.
“We are all saddened by this news,” Jim Porter, president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, said in a statement obtained by ESPN Wednesday morning.
”
We have lost an amazing football player, a great ambassador to the Hall, and, most importantly, a kind and good man. “Porter said that not only did Franco impact the game of football, but he also affected the lives of many, many people in profoundly positive ways.”
