Including a ref cam that made an appearance lol I was shocked that the tech quality looked decent. Thank you for watching and do not forget to grab that subscribe button

If I recall correctly, the play before the one where Hampton bulldozes through the middle and strips the ball from QB Johnson, Casey was questionably flagged for defensive holding (or some other rarely called penalty on a nose tackle), which fired him UP! He was ENRAGED! The cameras caught it all, and MNF did a great job featuring it. It was my favorite part of that game - and one of my favorite moments of all time, I guess - because I still vividly remember it to this day... If you get a chance, take a look. Casey Hampton will have you cheesin' and cheering!

[@machetefreddy2851]

Not gonna lie. I teared up a little when Franco Harris appeared and said Merry Xmas to Madden. Bitter sweet. RIP Franco

No bitter, man. Two gentlemen exchanging holiday wishes

[@spencerscott7386]

Two absolute legends.

When Kendrell Bell crushed Alstott I absolutely lost it. Bell was my favorite steeler back then, he was so awesome.

[@kevinknestrick3797]

It was heartbreaking when he messed his knee up and we let him go to KC I believe

[@SteelersStudio]

OMG 😳

[@evanpelc5079]

I was just thinking about that. He was a missile

[@ivansanta-maria1328]

He was very good possible Hall of Fame material if he wasn't so injury plagued all the time

[@keithr.hammonds6653]

I have a miniature action figure of him in my man cave!! Awesome player !!

[@sidj6745]

Bettis, THE BUS, will forever be my favorite player. His manner on and off the field was a class act. I saw a special where they filmed him doing his routine in getting ready for Sunday games. He went through sheer torture to prepare. His knees were shot but he showed up and gave it his all. Bettis also knew when to go out.. he went out a SB champion with the game being played in his home town of Detroit.

[@robertpayne6781]

I once walked past him sitting in first class omw to coach flying from Pitt to Atl right after the Detroit superbowl. He had a lapful of Mcd's double cheeseburgers.

I still get teary eyes when watching this team. Especially when the defense plays the way they played in this game. Go Steelers!!!!!!

[@crunk62]

I’ll never forget these guys for this game . Especially Lee Flowers who gave them the Moniker “ paper champions “😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@darkshinethakid4463]

Lol

[@jeph33]

No paper; it was very real when the best defense beat the best offense in that Bowl

[@chrisshields934]

That’s what they were. They had a coach that coached the team they were playing the year before in the Superbowl. Warren Sapp was and is a punk and Gruden and the whole team should have a huge asterisk beside their names when talking about Superbowl champs. That was a sham of a Super Bowl if I’ve ever seen one. What a joke Sapp was!!!

[@jr.kendle7230]

Mike Tomlin’s the Bucs secondary coach in this game. Who would have known he’d be the future HC of the Black and Gold?

[@jeph33]

I reckon he did

[@tmat2024]

They knew. It's a brotherhood!

Young, undrafted, James in street clothes, first time stealing the scene, and from Kordell Stewart of all people!

[@bobbybiggs2003]

I had just moved to Tampa from Pittsburgh and was at this game with a bunch of Pittsburgh friends that came to visit. Due to a local connection we actually sat in Mike Alstott’s family‘s box. Hilariously my friends got kicked out when the game got out of control and they’re cheering turned rabid! I loved it!

[@trappenweisseguy27]

I’d forgotten about Amos Zeroue , he was a dynamic running back and a great compliment to the Bus.

[@kevinknestrick3797]

Famous Amos was the savior for a few years when the Bus started getting too many miles on him

[@jamesmitchell3615]

This was when the NFL was great as a sport. Monday Night Football was classic TV back in the day. This is all the evidence needed.😎💯

[@chaneycowboys2388]

Bell was a dog until he caught da injury bug

[@TheBlaster54]

I vividly remember watching this game. Seeing Sapp disrespectfully skip through the Steelers’ warm ups and then seeing Jerome push him I remember saying to my buddies Sapp just lost the game for the Bucs. They poo pooed what I said. That’s when I asked them to bet me. One guy said he’ll bet me twenty bucks. I so greatly enjoyed taking his money. Say what you will about coach Cowher’s style, but there is no denying that his teams were physically intimidating. They walked onto the field expecting to win when other teams entered a game hoping not to lose.

[@chaneycowboys2388]

Pittsburgh love there Georgia boys

[@JoshuaAvery-gp5dm]

Back when football was football physical smash mouth no twitter no social media to talk your shit we take it to the field

[@davidcovington1046]

[@dbecker33]

What an era of Steeler football. Such good times!

[@EdmacZ]

Tampa Bay prided themselves on being a physical defense going up against a Pittsburgh team that battled in the AFC Central/North. There was nothing Tampa had that Pittsburgh couldn't handle.

[@jeph33]

One: Tom Tupa: the man who ( I think) led the league in punts with the pathetic Seahawks in..'90?

[@Danyahl]

I like how Jerome shoved Sapp and Sapp just kept doing his thing.

[@lilbru]

Man those buc defenses from 99-2003 were elite. Bucs, steelers and ravens defenses were legendary during that time. Glad i grew up watching those dawgs go at it.. straight warriors

[@danman1789]

Those were great times. Back then I hardly ever missed a MNF. Only competition would be wrestling during the rare times that I actually had cable.

[@Bluehorrorcult]

Kendrell Bell was Defensive Rookie of the Year one of my favorite linebackers for the Steelers

[@JohnnyA-007]

Alstott never knew a defense like Blitzburgh and got absolutely lit up by Kendrell Bell. Man I miss him.

[@flex_007]

Rest in football Heaven Mr. Harris and Mr. Madden

[@johnbrittain2728]

These two would've been a much better superbowl that year.

[@LiamDeege]

It probably would’ve without a doubt since the Raiders got cursed by Gruden’s knowledge of their offense. I’m not sure Pittsburgh would’ve won though based on how much the Bucs defense was on fire in the playoffs that year, but I imagine it wouldn’t have been as much of a blowout.

[@jeph33]

Nah. Couldn't stop that Raider O

[@impala666]

I was at that game. Steeler fans were going bananas.

[@jasonbodine6033]

[@tpm2387]

The old Mike Tomlin Bowl before a lot of people even knew who he was his ldgendary 2002 defense a few years before he would be head coach of another team with a legendary defense that had success a lot longer but this was fun to watch not so much for the bigger names and legends but some of the other good players I haven't thought about in awhile the good old days 1 year brfore we drafted number 43 Troy and 2 years before number 7 Big Ben and the great days start

[@LiamDeege]

This was the Bucs’ final loss that season before they won out everything to win Super Bowl 37

[@wraith1117]

this was the 2nd to last game in reg season. That 'won out' run was 3 games. But yeah, I remember that run the Bucs had after this. and they finally beat the Eagles, who had stopped them in post like 2 or 3 times before.

[@LiamDeege]

@@wraith1117 Yep, 3rd time was the charm when Ronde Barber pulled the reverse card to brake the curse of them losing to the Eagles.

[@wraith1117]

@@LiamDeege Growing up in the Burgh, and then living in Tampa. I'm a lifer Steelers fan, but I did enjoy Tony Dungy (former Steeler) build that amazing Defense in Tampa. Yes, I guess credit goes to Gruden for that SB win, But most of us know that was the D, Dungy and Monte Kiffin built. And with some irony, Coach Tomlin, then in Tampa (defensive backs), would go on to be the HC in Pittsburgh, and win SB 43 in this very stadium.

[@jeph33]

Had such high hopes when King came in: to add a running/playmaker element to a pretty good offence. Alas, he was too slow on the delivery, relegating Alstott to a starting role- not his forte. But hey, that was some Steeler team, eh?! Troy joined them the next season.

[@steelman4ever]

No doubt in my mind that if the Steelers wouldn’t have been screwed over in the Titans playoff game, Steelers would have won the SB that year. 2002 team was special.

You guys rmb the QB who threw 2 interceptions in the SB. I think we were playing against Dallas? I can't rmb who the QB was. I much younger then but I rmb he threw it directly to Dallas twice which sealed our fate.
