Item: Game used Football from the Steelers vs. Patriots 1/22/17 Game! This is a great item to have as rarely do either team's game-used football's actually hit the open market. This ball was game used in the 2017 AFC Championship game in New England! If you recall, the Patriots ended up winning this game 36 to 17 over Pittsburgh and would go on to the Superbowl and have the greatest comeback ever in Super Bowl history against Atlanta! If you can even find a game-used NFL football then it is common to find balls in general used in NFL regular-season games, not so much Pittsburgh and New England but how about not just any playoff game but the AFC championship game, wow!!!

Photo evidence: We did a little investigation work and traced this exact ball to a few different actions plays with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger & wide receiver Sammie Coates in the first half of the game. Look at the "77" & "10" that is marked on the football in the photos that are circled in the red circles and then compare it to the "77" & "10" on our ball and you will see this is an exact match.

This ball comes with a physical Certificate of Authenticity directly from the Pittsburgh Steelers, see the authenticity card in the pictures. In addition, they have marked this particular ball with a tamper-proof hologram from the Steelers guaranteeing this ball is authentic. (See photo). The authenticity number on the hologram is #GU-105006. It does not get more authentic then directly from an NFL team! It also was marked by the Steelers equipment team with the day of the game this ball was used on the laces on the football (See photo). This is a very rare collectible again as this ball was part of history for New England to go on and have one of the most historic Super Bowls ever!!! Must have item if you are a Steelers or Patriots fan!!
