That is some insane quality picture for 2004

[@eugenesatele9434]

[@ralphralpherson9441]

DAMN Ben looks young. I remember watching this game live and it was possibly just as sweet as both Superbowls we won in the Big Ben era. I remember being with several friends and having beers, and by the end of the night we were SCREAMING at the TV ripping apart Tom Brady and just laughing and having a blast. Every time Brady would get sacked or pressured they would cut the cameras to his face and he was visibly shaken and upset... and we loved every second of it. The Pats were the "big bad Boogyman" back then and to end their winning streak was just magnificent. They would come back and demolish us for the AFC game, but we got right back up after a 15-1 season and won the next Superbowl. So all was well in Blitzburgh from 2004-2006

[@gpclay]

This game and the next game destroying the Iggles - absolutely dismantling the two Super Bowl teams. Best Stillers team not to win a SB, alongside 1976 (although in fairness the injuries to Bradshaw, Franco and Bleier had more to do with that AFCCG loss).

for ben to start his career with 14 straight wins, including his playoff debut against the jets, is an unbreakable record. yeah he had a stout defense and a fantastic run game, but winning 14 straight is very difficult, let alone for a rookie QB that wasn’t even the week 1 starter. that record will never be broken, and i’m not sure if any other rookie QB will come close ever again.

Ahhh yes…yes, back when Pittsburgh had a good offensive coordinator

[@AJ_savage16]

I remember this game the Patriots had that long winning streak going into this match up but this steelers team with a rookie big ben ended it they went 15-1 this year too

[@Ghost-304]

Big Ben rookie season was special and for BigBen to tell the Bus that we will get u to SB was special and Big Ben delivered on his promise. With out Brady and Manning BigBen would’ve had 4 SB easy . Absolutely a legend and privilege to watch BigBen play his whole career

[@MikeAndersonvinyloldies]

The way they dominated this game and then took down the Eagles the next week, I thought this was a Super Bowl year.

[@jennyanydots2389]

Ben was too busy gRaping chicks in his spare time to really take advantage of his prime. It's why the Steelers had such a terrible record with him taking snaps behind center son.

[@piratesmvp]

If he wasn't dealing with a thumb injury, I think it's possible they could have won that AFC championship game. Fortunately we at least won the following year!

[@NE_Patriots]

I remember watching that game, bad game! But we did go on and win the Super Bowl that season, Great season! 💯😎🏆

[@Ghost-304]

15-1 rookie season just to lose to Pats in Afc championship game was crazy . But we all know it was deflate gate that happened in that Steelers loss that year lol

[@toninemeth8133]

BRADY HAS NOTHING ON BIG BEN BEN WAS A GOOD CLEAN HONEST FOOTBALL QB HE WILL BE IN HOF FOR SURE ON HIS FIRST TRY NOBODY HAS A PUMP FAKE LIKE BEN TOUGH TO BRING DOWN AND PLAYED THROUGH COUNTLESS INJURIES WHAT A SMART THING WHEN STEELERS DRAFTED BEN BET CLEVELAND IS THINKING MAN WE COULD OF HAD HIM AND LET HIM GO THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THESE GAMES ALIVE ON YOUR CHANNEL LOVE WATCHING THEM THANK YOU BEN FOR EVERYTHING LOVE YA GO STEELERS

Dumbest post of the year? Maybe even the decade????? Good job, give me that high five son!!!

[@1990Thunderbolt]

the patriots and steelers are the nfl's twin towers at this point! 6 super bowl wins each and 12 lombardi's combined! unbelievable!!!!

Watching and Reminiscing this after our loss to the Browns with a 3rd string QB! I miss Ben😢

[@nick56677]

You know the Steelers were having a great game when Ike "stone hands" Taylor gets an INT 😂 He was a good cover corner, but was allergic to catching

[@Izarcø-66]

Although its different times. Both Mitch and Big Ben had an outstanding defense behind them. Man I can't wait to see picket as a starter

[@AdamQuraishi10]

We may have lost to them in the AFC Championship Game later that year, but that game alone was our Super Bowl that year. The game where Big Ben put the entire NFL on notice.

Another great video where I can selectively MUTE Simms & only listen to the great announcer Cris. I always felt so sorry for Cris that he had to work with Simms. 😂

[@eliminator123456789]

I swear to god, if only Pittsburgh played like this nowadays, with more of a killer instinct to keep on shoving the ball down an opponent's throat. Maybe then they wouldn't have to have an unreasonable number of games necessitating 14+ point fourth quarters to even keep a game competitive, or just barely win by one score.

[@bdiv44]

I remember this game like it was just yesterday (I was born in 2003)

[@supertrouperJC02]

If only they could have done this in the playoffs to the pats.

[@wesleypepple7525]

I counted 8 holds that the Patriots had on us and not one of them are called

[@nickgangone9541]

I remember this was halloween night, I took my kids trick or treating in the second half. They weren't very old so they wanted to go home before the end of the game.

[@MURKGOAT860]

People don't understand just how dominant the Patriots were and how this shocked us all

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

18 years later, Tom Brady would lose to Brock Purdy, the only time a Quarterback beat Brady in his first career start.

[@andreaodessa9181]

I can't believe how good this looks for a 2004 game.

[@mastick5106]

I'm still shocked that the Steelers were beaten by the Patriots in the playoffs. Because they shouldn't have even _made_ it that far. HOW did the Jets manage to blow the divisional playoff game? They had two chances to win it in the last six minutes, and blew two field goal attempts in a row. I was a serious Steelers fan back then, but I'm still amazed we even got to the AFC Championship. Ben the prodigy disappeared and Ben the rookie took over once the playoffs started.

[@piratesmvp]

Ben was dealing with a thumb injury in that AFC Championship game which I think affected his throwing. I think I remember the local sports stations speculating on whether he would even be able to play or whether we'd have to start Maddox instead.

[@Dave-ms3ri]

It almost looks surreal watching Pittsburgh score points. And to think the fans ran Bruce Arians out of town because his offense didn’t run the ball enough. I’d give anything for a flexible, unpredictable offense like this right now. Fire Matt Canada.

[@BMuscle]

One of the best teams Steelers ever had assembled. History
