That was just the beginning of Bens dominance of the AFC North. See u in Canton Ben thanks for 18 great years

3rd gen Steeler fan whos really glad he got to watch Big Ben from the git-go. Mid 2000s were great time to be a Steeler.

[@TheStrategos392]

This is was an era when we were spoiled as Steelers fans. A lot of success during those mid 2000’s. Side Note: James Harrison started this game and was very dominant.

[@gregorydonatelli3429]

yeah. I know the feeling. I was 10 yrs. old when the Steelers won SB IX.... can you imagine as a 10 yr. old what those next 5 years were like? ecstatic . .. I got my very first Terrible Towel at the Woolsworth in Barnsboro, PA. R.I.P. Myron Cope. Here We Go Steelers. Here We Go!!!

@@gregorydonatelli3429 honestly that steelers cardinals superbowl I watched I was 6 years old and instantly fell in love with the black and gold, I still remember that corner endzone catch like it was yesterday, ofc me being a kid, I was dramatic af when holmes dropped the pass right before he caught a harder one

[@blazer79]

The year before, the Steelers were 6-10. Hardly spoiled after that season.

[@BigBaller-he1dz]

I hope you go 0-17 for the next 5 yrs

Watch Harrison... We didn't know how good he was at this time but he lived in the Ravens backfield all day. What a terror #92 was.

[@TheSteelers4190]

even in 04 as an unknown, Deebo was demolishing the Rat Birds! This was the game my Dad looked at me and said "We may have a dude in 92."

"AFC North football baby". GD. Ben is/was/and always will be the toughest SOB in black n gold, what a warrior. Love this video as it shows what football was before all the 2 hand touch mindset of today. In this clip alone, so many taunting penalties that were just football back then. Good stuff broseph!

[@p.j.4738]

I think Bradshaw was tougher!

[@yallfuckoffnow03]

@@p.j.4738 if we're talking quarterbacks then yes Bradshaw was the toughest Ben was second. But if we're talking out of the entire team it's hard to compare them to guys like Mean Joe Greene, Rocky Bleier, Jack Lambert. Don't get me wrong Ben was the toughest dude to play the quarterback position since Brett Favre. He's definitely in my top five toughest quarterbacks to play in the NFL

[@terrywbreedlove]

Ben had the most incredible rookie year.

[@kimberlyianaro3774]

I'm a PSU and Steeler fanatic since the early '70's.I live smack dab in the middle between State College and Pittsburgh. and watch both Steelers and Big Ten games without fail I remember watching Randal El play at Indiana. He was amazing. He was the entire offense and a joy to watch. I was so happy when Steelers took him. At training camp that yr, I got Randal El to sign rookie season pic. Still cherish that pic, and this team!!

[@dustindelaney3947]

I miss all those guys so much, especially the chin 😢 the loved watching coach cowher run up and down the sideline shouting and spitting 🥰, there's no other team from any sport thats going to get the love I give these men that play for the greatest team in the world, not everybody has the same opinion, but that's why we love it 🖤💛🖤💛🖤

[@clawgod3awkawk]

Really gonna miss big ben. All the legendary games involving PIT, BAL, NE and p manning will go down as some of the best rivalries and the best football ever. 18 out of 19 years the afc team in the super bowl was either a p manning team, NE, PIT or BAL, im glad i enjoyed every moment

[@sidj6745]

Me and my best friend were at this game in the nose bleed section. It was like one big family up there. Whatt a time!! At the end of the game while leaving a Steeler fan had a plastic Raven tied by the neck dragging it across the cement...oh the memory.

[@vasantos-re4hb]

Ben has outstanding touch and accuracy. The ball always seems to hit the receiver in stride.

[@joeheid4757]

Amazing what a great O-line can mean to a team. I think that's our only weakness except depth. I'm telling you folks, Magic Mitch is gonna make it really hard for Pickett to crack the lineup.

[@Leeedy_1]

Magic Mitch!?!? LMFAOOOOO

[@nahor88]

@@Leeedy_1 Magic Mitch is dumb I agree, but he's right that Mitch is a decent QB. His dropoff was largely due to poor coaching in Chicago. A franchise can make a QB look worse than they actually are. People think Baker Mayfield is trash, forgetting he led the Browns to the play-offs, was competitive against the Chiefs, then played last year hurt.

That was a great team. They should have had back-to-back superbowls 2004 2005

[@pineytreez6811]

I remember this 2004 Steelers team, the defense was solid, the offense ran that smash mouth football and Big Ben made some great plays, but the only problem our Steelers had was scoring a lot of touchdowns in the RedZone, but what a season our favorite team had, and til this day I'm still guessing How did they get they butts kicked in the AFC Championship by the Patriots 🤔

[@ricardoldd]

Big ben with the two gloves and no one complained hehe

[@yokoyama7590]

Always a good feeling watching the Steelers beat the ravens

[@raidernation7427]

The 1st game Ben ever lost as a starter was the AFC championship. That's a stat I think gets overlooked way more than it should. As a Raiders fan, I never liked seeing Steelers on our schedule, but especially the last 15yrs. I'm actually kinda glad Brady came back so Ben wouldn't have to share HOF night with him. Better chance he'll be the closer.

[@atrain818]

I think Ben actually has a losing record against the raiders. He never won a game in Oakland. Hard to believe a raider fan would ever want Brady back. After the tuck rule game

[@03Man11]

Rare James Harrison sightings from 2004

[@LTDANMAN44]

[@realeyesrealizereallies1194]

Man, that first drive was awesome.

[@mikeoxhertz526]

I was at that game

[@chrisayres2340]

at 5:56 through 7:59(3 plays in a row), that's when you knew your watching a potential future hall of fame qb, and mind you the first play was completed against ed reed(arguably the 1 or 2 best safety, maybe EVER) and the person he faked out, ben could possibly thank him for being the one that knocked out tommy maddox(gary baxter) that forced ben on the field in the first place in the teams first matchup(week 2)

[@chrisayres2340]

from 16:06 to end of the video, when was the last time you saw a steeler team be able to finish a game like that, and mind you their starting qb is out(one of the conversions was a 3rd and 8 draw, another was a straight-up 3rd and 3 rt tackle pull and the other a 4 and 1 push), you know the ravens didn't expect the steelers to pass even on any of those plays, yet the execution by the steelers(and it's not like there playing a bottom tier defense, ravens defense finished 6th overall in 2004)

[@topyougen4123]

I was like 5 at this game cold as hell mom was so drunk mannn

[@tybraun52]

I had no idea James Harrison was even on this team

[@beachbumseaglass]

Theres nothing that hasn't been ruined in the past 20 years. Today the refs would have picked this game apart enough to make it unwatchable. James Harrison and Troy would have been ejected and I saw at least five P.I. calls according to todays standards. Ben was a sight to behold in his younger days thats for sure. And Bettis ? Forget about it. A running back built like a lineman. Those were the days....

Gus Johnson was just as annoying back then.

[@torchy187]

No way Baltimore wins this game. Steelers typically beat the Ravens year in and year out no matter the head coach or QB.

[@sabgab]

Stupid announcers, the Ravens felt thay had the right to drive Ben into the ground after what Joey Porter did to whatever his name was QB for the Ravens. The Ravens basically ended Maddox's career with that elbow injury in 2004.
