Roethlisberger & Harrison DOMINATE The Ravens on MNF (2007)

[@bthorn5035]

One of the most dominant defensive games I've ever seen by a linebacker. Harrison was on fire and refused to be stopped. No team in football could have stopped that man on that night.

[@gdavis]

Watch what the players said about that year. They were tired by the end of the year. They had a new coach and a new more aggressive scheme they were learning. They used the momentum from that season into 2008

[@Hollowsmith]

I've been watching Steeler games for 40 years. This was the most dominant half of Steelers football I've ever seen.

[@xTheJoexRF]

Ben has always been much better than credited... I know that he played during the Manning/Breed/Brady era...which get more praise than Ben all the time. But really, this guy played in the hardest division in football for the first 5-8 years of his career...had almost ZERO line help from 2012 to 2015...and than NO defense from 2016-2018... Yet still won games at a high level and made us contenders all the time. He really deserves to be talked about as one of the greatest

[@davidgraham2673]

What he's never given credit for is his incredible accuracy. He hits tight openings, and throws to places where only his receiver can get to the ball as well as anyone ever. And nobody, NOBODY, is tougher to bring down at the QB position than Ben.

[@wraith1117]

Absolutely. The list of records that Ben holds in both the NFL, and as Steeler franchise, is LOOOONG. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Roethlisberger scroll down on that page and it has a list, and a very impressive one at that.

[@dougbardsley1960]

His numbers speak for themself. The only reason he’s not at the very top is because he doesn’t have to pass. They have had a balanced off. Look at the years his pass attempts are with the other top qb’s. His numbers are just as good or close.

[@arthurthomas4204]

They never give Ben any credit as one of the greats because he isn't a crybaby like brady ,brees,manning and others he'll take a hit and not complain get close to the others and it's a penalty, and if they don't get it their whinning and crying about a hit on them ,Ben has great accuracy and could escape the defense in his earlier days he's one of the greatest, I think youngest to win the superbowl but no one seems to mention that either ..

[@anonymousanonymity2815]

More like no line help from 2008-2012. Steelers got decastro that year or the next and it really solved a lot of the line problems

[@claudeciancio1933]

Harrison was great, but its hard to not notice that Ben has been great for a very long time.

[@claudeciancio1933]

@It’s Jamal_1 ...and ...your point?

[@RagnarokMic]

Just a pity he got injured last year, finally get the defense back on track...lose the offense.

[@dennissmith9294]

Defense wins Superbowls this team is built on that.

[@16rumpole]

he was elite for a long time. He is the greatest Steelers QB of all time.

[@claudeciancio1933]

@Fire&Ice909 I guess so, because I don't get what Harrison's two player of the year awards have to do with noticing Ben's greatness. Maybe you could explain or I guess you could stick with your thoughtless and meaningless input.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

5:42 "Let's just send James Harrison directly to Honululu and the Pro Bowl!"

[@rodneyflowers8361]

I watched this game! James Harrison dominated! The best single game performance by a defensive player I ever seen! Period

[@jfg1104]

Totally agree!

[@MorningDew85]

Roethlisberger is the greatest QB of all time, his god gifted talent is unmatched and his style of play is pure throwback, there will never be another QB like ours. It’s been a true blessing watching him all these years, and I wouldn’t trade him for any other QB ever!!

[@nobodyaskedbut]

Big Ben is the only pro QB to win as many as 9 career games with a passer rating of at least 150.0. This was also one of his record (tied with P.Manning) career total of 4 perfect rating games. He is also the only QB to win more than 1 career game with 500+ pass yds & zero Ints and he did it 3 times. He's the only QB to start over 50% of scheduled games and ave. 7.0 Y/A in all of his 1st 15 seasons in the NFL.

[@smackflack5771]

Hes also the only qb to have more tds than incompletions in a game

[@nobodyaskedbut]

@@smackflack5771 He might not be the only QB to do that but he's likely the only one to do it more than twice. He did it in 2007, 2008 & 2018. Two of those games he passed for 5 TDs & the other 2 TDP with 1 incompletion.

[@smackflack5771]

[@nobodyaskedbut]

@@smackflack5771 Well those talking heads should also know that only he and Otto Graham (who is still the GOAT & it's still not close) are the only pro T-formation QBs to be great in their rookie season and go on to play at the highest level for the rest of their career AND win championships as their team's lone starting QB.

[@markcoucke7171]

And as far as I know, and Steelers fans will know, he's the only quarterback who's ever had back-to-back six touchdown pass games. 12 touchdowns in two games not too shabby.

[@lambert581]

I think this season 2007 laid the ground work for the SuperBowl 43 winning season.

[@johnbruce4003]

James Harrison was a great football player. He deserves to be in the Hall one day. I have a throwback James Harrison autographed jersey in a glass and steel case that will be on my wall forever....

The interception by Harrison looks exactly like his interception in Superbowl

[@LudwigSC93]

7:39 Hines was so bad ass!

[@steveg7066]

I was never his biggest fan, but it's easy to forget just how talented Santonio Holmes was. Obviously Ben and James shine here, but Santonio had a little bit of everything here too

[@jayforbes5774]

Santonio Holmes was AB before AB but when he left us his career dwindled

[@shawnj1966]

@@jayforbes5774 , that happens when you no longer have a great QB throwing you the ball. It doesn't get to you and all of a sudden you don't look that great! Same with running backs that think they are great until they go to a team like the Jets that can't run block!

[@NXS1FY]

Hines Ward was the best blocking receiver I have ever seen. Idk any one else that put the opponents defenders on IR or out of a game as much as he had. Can only imagine what it would be like if he was a safety.

[@rodneyflowers8361]

Lol ok! Steelers fan of course! Hines was jus physical and they didn’t like it so they labeled him a dirty player not true tho

A RARE Tomlin/Billick matchup. Like two ships passing in the night.

[@johnassy4853]

James Harrison destroyed Steve McNair, Ed Reed, johnathan Ogden and I believe Derrick mason on his interception when he ran him over going out of bounds. Possibly 4 hofs. And Hines Ward wrecked Ed Reed too. With the steeler legends in the building what a damn game. Legend god tier performances in this one.

[@AndyMatts44]

That was the first game I saw at Heinz field. Second level, at the end zone where all the action was in the first quarter. When that ball popped out of Reed's hands on the punt return, it almost came up to eye level on that second tier.

James harrison was on the ravens and they cut him 😄

@Lexy Thomas no the Steelers also cut him like 4 times back went to the Ravens who cut him and I think the browns did too, actually the only reason he got picked up was a injury to Lamar Woodley

[@mikewill6013]

@Lexy Thomas no I'm talking about James Harrison from Kent State undrafted, the Steelers picked him up undrafted and cut him four times, then the Ravens got him and cut him then the browns I think, then one of the Steelers outside linebackers got hurt and the re signed James Harrison number 92, then he played for the Bengals and was utilized wrong, then he came back to us and came out of retirement twice before getting cut and joining the Patriots

[@mikewill6013]

@Lexy Thomas these are not my words just proof: Pittsburgh Steelers (2002) Baltimore Ravens (2003)* Rhein Fire (2003) Pittsburgh Steelers (2004-2012) Cincinnati Bengals (2013) Pittsburgh Steelers (2014-2017) New England Patriots (2017) Harrison spent two years on and off the practice squad for the Steelers, being released three times, and also was briefly on the active roster towards the end of the 2002 season, playing only special teams. Teammate and fellow linebacker, James Farrior, later told NFL Network that Harrison was so green early on in his career that he would simply "give up" on plays on which he was struggling and even would ask the coaches not to play him when he was struggling.[

[@mikewill6013]

@Lexy Thomas did I say you did 🤨😭

[@reddfoxx916]

I remember watching this game and it was the first time I was glad Harrison was a starter. Been a huge fan ever since. And I dont care what anyone says, if I had to build a team from scratch, id want Ben as my quarterback than anyone else. Brady always had a decent line and also had to rely on kickers or the defense to bail him out. Ben always came in when it was clutch and win the close games by himself. His return from injury in the final drive of the playoff game vs the Bengals was legendary. Brady may have the rings, but im still picking Big Ben!
