As a safety for the St. Louis Cardinals, Larry Wilson helped his team defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-17 on November 7, 1965. This win allowed the Cardinals to remain in contention for the league's Eastern Conference title.

Wilson set the tone of the game when, early in the first quarter, he burst through the Steelers' offensive line and batted down a Bill Nelson pass.

As the ball fell aimlessly toward the ground, Wilson scooped it out of mid-air and rambled 34 yards to the Pittsburgh 3. The Cardinals scored on the next play.

While big plays were nothing new for the Cardinals' All-Pro safety, what made this one different was that Wilson was playing with casts on both hands, having a week earlier sustained a broken left hand and a broken finger on his right hand.
