The 1972 Pittsburgh Steelers team and running back Franco Harris open the episode by taking the field of Three Rivers Stadium followed by Harris’ Immaculate Reception.

It also turns out to be the same day as Jack and Rebecca’s first date.

But Jack missed the big moment because he was trying to find a way to pay for his date with Rebecca using just $9.

After not having enough money to buy an umbrella as it started raining, Jack apologized for it being such a bad date.

Rebecca didn’t seem to mind, though. She enjoyed it enough to give him a kiss at the end of the night.

You can watch "This is Us" every Tuesday night at 9 p.m. on WPXI.
