The DUMBEST PLAYER in AFC Championship HISTORY | 2000 AFC Championship (Ravens @ Raiders)

Note to self: it's probably not a good idea to call the 2000 Ravens defense bad, especially after you just lost to them and did nothing. Aside from the fact that it's arguably the greatest defense of all-time... it's probably not gonna end well for you
After the 2000 AFC Championship between the Oakland Raiders and the Baltimore Ravens, Raiders running back Tyrone Wheatley had some bizarre comments about the strength of the 2000 Ravens defense. And let's just say that he did not exactly sound like the most gracious of losers after the season-ending loss

The 2000 Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer at QB. Case closed.

[@grangesaves33]

This is absolutely laughable. The 200 Ravens defense is so good it carried Trent Dilfer to a Super Bowl title

[@J69user]

Exactly I can only name like a handful of players on offense. Dilfer, Jamal Lewis, Shannon Sharpe, Quadry Ismail, Johnathan Ogden. I liked the story though of Dilfer going back to Tampa to win it all after they cut him. I believe the Bucs could have won it all in 1999 if Dilfer didn’t get benched for Shaun King. Trent would have won a ring if he stayed with the Bucs anyway so it’s a happy ending for every party but the Raiders.

[@K37-h1z]

Agruably a happy ending all around

Excellent video, Rest in Peace Tony Siragusa.

[@marcus813]

I guess we shouldn't call Tyrone about the 2000 Ravens' D! I don't know what he was thinking when he said that mess. Even before that game, everyone who followed the NFL knew that defense was something special. That defense allowed fewer points in the 16-game era than even the 1985 Bears' D allowed and that's saying something. Wheatley and Michael Westbrook are a special kind of stupid for disrespecting defenses that were clearly elite.

[@astrostar49]

2000 Ravens D faced a pretty easy schedule in terms of opposing offenses. That being said, they're still my favorite defense of all time.

[@fortynights1513]

@@astrostar49They most definitely played an easy schedule and without that they may not have allowed quite as few points, but you could also say they obliterated good offenses in the playoffs.

[@raidger4]

This brings up some bad memories. Damn Tony Siragusa crushing Rich Gannon, and a 96 yard TD for Shannon Sharpe.

[@scottybbadd]

The 2000 Ravens defense, oftentimes, outscored their opponents offense.

[@fortynights1513]

For that matter that total of points allowed includes two touchdowns that were pick sixes, so if we look only at offensive scores allowed it gets even better

[@bioLarzen]

An anecdtote from the world of theatre comes to mind. The boss of a Hungarian theatre was not happy about one particular play the theatre had for the coming season, insisting it was a bad play and would be a flop. The play went on being a colossal success, on show for well over a decade. After the 500th show the - now ex - director was asked about his prediction, he said "I still insist" :)

[@brownstarslots]

I was sitting in the north end zone for this game. I remember Rich Gannon getting squashed by Tony Siragusa and a 4th quarter TD called back on a legitimate offensive pass interference call (i believe on Andre Rison). We threw and INT i think a play later

[@phillyfan-182]

[@CTubeMan]

(That Guy Alert) If the Raiders won that game they would’ve gone to their fifth Super Bowl, not their fourth.

[@fortynights1513]

Their actual fourth was in 2002. This would have been in 2000, so that last one hadn’t happened yet.

Looks like Edge & Christian were right in a way.

[@toddbiesel4288]

At the rate Tyrone Wheatley was gaining yards against Baltimore, he would not have picked up a first down if he had been given 17 attempts.

[@Davepool-hs7vr]

If the Ravens 2000 defense was so bad, what does that say about Tyrone Wheatley who was terrible in that game?

[@pluxauag7555]

As a Raiders fan, on KZbin here is that vicious 1984 Raiders @ Bears game which chewed through QB's with two monster defences (Chicago 2nd all time) but the Ravens that year had the perfect Defence.

[@kenhill3230]

That is stupid. Up until that year the 85 Bears were the gold standard of what a D could do. That Ravens team was better imo.

[@J69user]

No way is the 2000 Ravens better than the 1985 Bears. 1985 Bears injured like 8 QBs that season and is part of the reason why QB’s are so protected now. Phil Sims a HOF QB said it was the scariest defense he’s ever played against. Sims won the Super Bowl the next season. The 2000 Ravens had a better run due to them only having one home playoff game. 1985 Bears literally only put up 10 points the whole entirety of the playoffs and that was in the Super Bowl. 85 Bears also had like 5 blowouts that year not including playoffs games. One of the blowouts was against the 3’rd seeded Cowboys in Dallas. I love the 2000 Ravens but they aren’t even close to the Steel Curtain. 2000 Ravens would be 3’rd greatest defense ever. Everyone who took a snap against that Bears team will say that was that was the greatest defense of all time. The 85 Bears beat the next years Super Bowl Champion and blew them out. The 2000 Ravens run they played teams that made the Super Bowl but they never won it all. The Broncos were the only team they played against that won the Super Bowl in that period and they had no Elway or Terrell Davis on the 2000 squad. Those stats prove the 85 Bears was better.

[@svenmartin840]

Wheatly ran into the Norfolk-Southern version of Defense. Named Ray Lewis. And his teammates. On defense.

[@lsmftymf]

Love this video! Yes, I'm a Ravens fan. Have always thought that Tyrone Wheatley was an absolute butthead.

[@psychorabbitt]

Yeah, you could say that Ray Lewis had a real... killer career...

[@JayTemple]

The fact that Lewis is in the Hall of Fame while MLB will ban a player for ASSOCIATING with gamblers means that baseball takes a harder line on gambling than football does on murder.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah the details look bad for him. He didn't stab anyone it seems but he encouraged everyone to not talk, ditched his suit, and transported other defendants who did use knife home... He pled down to obstruction, settled civil suits and the other 2 were acquitted on self defense. The DA was dreadful at arguing the case, his first in 4 years.

[@johnsmith2221]

Yeah. That defense in 2000 for the ravens really sucked. Couldn’t even shutout the other team in 12 of their games.

[@Fireyninjadog]

The 2000 ravens allowed less than 1,000 yards in 16 games. Only 2.7 yards per cary, and just 5 rushing tds given up

[@fortynights1513]

Best run defense ever. Honorable mention: 1951 Giants

[@Fireyninjadog]

​@@fortynights1513honorable mention: 2006 vikings

Giants treated Wheatley poorly. Reeves never wanted him drafted. They had some interesting RBs in 90s... Otis, Hampton, meggett, Wheatley, hershal walker, tiki, Gary Brown, Ron Dayne.

[@mgb4692]

That bad defense gave up one touchdown in four playoff games, unless the super off chance he meant BAD in the Michael Jackson/James Brown/Isaac Hayes/Petey sense.

[@aaronholcomb237]

They gave up fewer points than the 1985 Bears. Even if you exclude the 38 point aberration by the Dolphins, the average points given up is still less by the 2000 Ravens.

[@MichaelPiz]

I hate the Ravens. Always have. But I always give credit where it's due, even to those I don't like. And damn, that 2000 Ravens defense was great.

[@Garrett316]

I assume you’re a Steelers fan?

[@MichaelPiz]

@@Garrett316 No, I've been a Packers fan since I was 5 in 1966. I hate the Ravens because of how Art Modell screwed Cleveland. I know it's a long time ago but somehow the dislike stuck. And it's fun to have a team to hate. I hate the Seahawks too because ever since their inception they've had the ugliest uniforms in the league every year. 😆

[@nicholaswachter1974]

Fair point and you’re entitled to your hate. But the Irsay family screwed Baltimore way worse.

​@@Garrett316I'm a Steelers fan and I don't hate the Ravens, I respect them. When the Ravens are their best and we beat them means more than just winning a game. But I'm not a trash talker, I never was. In fact I'm rooting for the Ravens to kick the crap out of the Chiefs.

[@jamesmullen1259]

Wow that would be like if a mid-tier corner or mid-tier safety said that the '99 through 2001 Rams had a bad offense. I think Tyrone got the 2000 Ravens and the 2000 Rams confused if the Rams had any kind of a defense and if Kurt Warner never broke his finger. We might have seen the best offense of all time play the best D of all time in Super Bowl XXXV! it would have been a hell of a matchup!

[@jamesmullen1259]

i Think the 2000 Rams are still the only team to score 500 points in a season. (540) and allowed 450 points in a season (471) and still make the playoffs. So i think Tyrone must of thinking about the Rams even though we didn't play him that year. Sometimes it's better to say nothing than to talk and make yourself look like a fool!

[@StrikeBuster-b2b]

Did you say the Saints are keeping Dennis Allen? Dang it.

[@rngfootball759]

Shannon Sharpe's 96 yd td catch pretty much sealed the game and that was in the 2nd quarter. That stunned the Coliseum crowd. Rich Loose Gannon didn't even finish the game it was Bobby Hoying (one of Ohio st long line of disappointing qbs in the nfl)

[@randytracy1742]

It’s insane how a player like Wheatley would have made that trash talk about the ravens 🐦‍⬛ defense after the game- if he did this before they would have made good bulletin board material for the ravens defense and they would’ve shut him up with their performance against the running game! He was really dumb, wasn’t he? 😮😮😮😮😅

[@nicholaswachter1974]

This was such a great match-up - #1 rushing offense that year against historic-level #1 rushing defense.

[@nellgwenn]

Kind of like when right before the Super Bowl Hollywood Henderson called Bradshaw so dumb he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and T. Then the Cowboys lost. At least he later apologized, blaming it all on cocaine.

[@randytracy1742]

@@nellgwenn lol 😂

[@adjr9062]

The real story is Gannon getting squashed by Tony Siragusa's fat ass early in the game. Separated his shoulder and broke his collarbone. Once that happened, the Ravens knew they could just stack the box and they'd be fine. With a healthy Gannon, that in my opinion changes this game completely. The defense has to play off the ball a bit because they have an actual passing game to defend too, which then opens up the run game. I think Wheatley's comments weren't as off base as you've made them seem.

[@funkmanpushin2751]

Ok that helped yes but I still don’t think it would have really matter in the end

[@JosephMiller-hu7bq]

That RAVEN'S D was the greatest D including the BEARS i have ever seen also the STEEL CURTAIN there was no weakness great against the run gave QB'S nightmares and if they scored 9 they win , but the LB core maybe the best no points giving up during playoffs only score during superbowl was speacial team the GIANTS QB was in a living nightmare they were crawling at him none stop BRONCOS WR who has a son playing for the 49ers now was bitching on how they were hitting him , he hit the side lines screams come on they all hit you first one then another and so on the greatest D ever

[@JosephMiller-hu7bq]

Wheatley was solid but i dont think he ever lived up to his talents , size speed but again ego when your facing the RAVENS what u never watched them all season , i use to watch them for the D and if one hit another would it remind of a scene of lioness hunting it wouldnt be one on what their after but all them and if that D couldve stayed together the season we saw wouldve become the norm and being a packer fan Brett Farve tore them up he was close to 400 or over

[@Staceyatkinson4496]

This ravens d was vastly superior to the so called greatest d of the 85 bears, 85 bears over rated d and at worse than average
