@Tyler are you trying to say Willis was the better middle linebacker? Not even close, Ray Lewis was voted by his peers, coaches, ex players as the most dominating, intimidating, hardest hitting, best linebacker from the last twenty years, the measurements of a great player is by how he's viewed by his peers and Ray Lewis is also said by many NFL alum that he was the greatest middle linebacker of all time, Willis was good, but he's not considered as one of the all time greats, sorry dude, facts speak for themselves

How they even got to 14-2 is nuts tbh. 😳 The 1985 Bears season on defense speaks for itself. So I think people don't give Peyton Manning near the credit he deserved for the game he had vs the 2006 Ravens b/c in a lot of ways that unit was superior to the 2000 unit that won the Super Bowl. That 2006 team faced a solid schedule whereas the 2000 unit - while still historically stingy - faced A LOT of really bad QBs & used that to stat pad a bit more. Peyton Manning & Ray Lewis had a great rivalry but outside of beating him early on (1998, 2001) in his worst 2 seasons as a Colt; Peyton generally got the best of the Ravens up until their final matchup in the playoffs. Peyton Manning vs Ray Lewis: 252/392 (64.3% completion rate) 2,979 yards (7.6 YPA) (270.8 YPG) 22 TD Passes (5.6% TD%) 10 Interceptions (2.5% INT%) 95.4 Passer Rating 8-3 W-L Record 26 PPG (72.7% winning percentage) That ranks right there w/ the 2005 playoff loss to Pittsburgh as Peyton’s most devastating loss in the playoffs.

I don't think Lewis was kidding when he almost went across the table to find out who turned the lights out. Has any other stadium anywhere ever had that happen, much less in a Super Bowl?

[@rick_thunder]

Did the Ravens not have a Defensive Coordinator? It looks like Ray Lewis was calling all the plays. 😂

[@manuelhernandez2017]

He called a lot of audibles... Just like Peyton on offense. DCs trusted his judgement, part of why he was also so dominant, he could diagnose plays and adjust at the line

[@tj3988]

One thing is for sure. Ray was a killa on and off the field.

[@MrBojangles2020]

Ray lewis is the best ever and that play against the chargers is what sealed it for me

[@tuckerkline4142]

7:45 kap had to put it outside. If he threw it even a little inside, #20 was going to other way with it

[@codythomas1450]

Peyton walking on eggshells that whole interview 😂

[@dereksmith.]

I miss when football was hard hitting, and guys didn't get fined or flagged for it.

[@america1st721]

Peyton Manning: I remember throwing 4 td's against you and dominating the AFC. Ray Lewis: I killed a man Peyton Manning: mommy

[@marksprinkle]

Peyton played with Marvin Harrison. Peyton laughs at Ray's body count.

As a die-hard 49ers fan for over 30 years, I still believe if we ran the ball on that last play with Frank Gore we would have won. However, Ray Lewis was a joy to watch. And it truly was one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time.

[@manuelhernandez2017]

I DK if you guys would've made it to the endzone like that, but for sure would've been a better call than that kapernick throwing it

[@manuelhernandez2017]

@Tyler fair point, Kap could've audibled or looked at another receiver though. It's on the OC, but QBs that have a good pedigree for the game would understand and make good decisions as well.

[@manuelhernandez2017]

@Tyler so his receiver is covered, and you are saying he couldn't throw it to another receiver? He has no responsibility over the play whatsoever? If you truly believe that then... Oh well

[@camiloorsini9674]

Horrible play calling, but Crabtree got held on that last play. It was bad, and the refs choked on their whistles

[@TheAchilles285]

Ray looks so goddamn intense and he looks like when he is flashing back all these memories, he wants to go home get his uniform and put it right back on and then continue telling his side of the story lol

[@Alex-hm7nt]

Bro...Ray Lewis talking with the NFL Films music playing, was getting ME hyped

[@mogrizzy]

Man ravens need Ray Lewis at everygame giving the half time speech

[@B3Band]

2:56 I was expecting him to say "Icing a game in which _that idiot kicker_ scored all the points"

[@pimpdaddyc7066]

Vinatieri ain't no Vanderjagt lol

[@swaslaukinonome]

Keep in mind Ray Lewis only had one fully functional arm those last few games. He just sprinkled some deer antler on it or something, then went right back to work. Bet that arm still hurts if he's being honest.

[@nelson_robinson]

90s kids childhood right here.. the good ole days when the NFL had some dawgs!

[@hybridwolf66]

Ray is a real class act. Never a dirty player, yet he still dominated. Hats off.

[@KINDAtheexpert7608]

One of the greatest “personal” rivalries EVER in ALL of sports. Peyton vs Lewis. I, like Peyton, have massive respect for ray, and I’m a die hard colts fan. #fortheshoe

[@jjones3753]

Why does Ray still seem like he wants to tackle Payton?😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@CB22]

Love these two. So much respect shown to each other it’s awesome

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Watching Ray talk about that situation man it just brings back so many awesome memories. From high school football to college football. I’m 38 now I don’t play anymore. Lol but still you never forget those Friday night lights. Most amazing moments.

[@bradmontgomery4404]

Two 🐐 I was very excited about watching

[@untilthewheelsfalloff1751]

Ahh yes when football was actually football.

[@JuwanAnderson58]

“I’mma machine jerk!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I love that clip

[@TheFloridian5]

Peyton put in sooo many weightlifting and sprint days… lol

[@baileym4708]

Watching legends reflect and talk with so much respect is just so awesome to see.

[@bz9600]

ray was getting hype reminiscing. couldnt sit down. these 2 are my fav offense defense players ever

2 of their greatest perspectives positions ever
