I'm a die hard Steeler fan, but born & raised on West Coast. Really sucked only seeing them play 2-5 times a season. 2001 was 1st season I ever had Sunday Ticket. 13-3...Slash was on fire....the Bus ran over everyone.....every week was like Christmas. Was over a decade before I missed another Steeler game. I definitely picked the right decade.

[@maddog1741]

7:56 My favorite player 91 Aaron Smith, in my opinion one of the most underrated DE in football history.

[@steelerspittsburgh875]

Slash was an exciting player. Too bad he was ahead of his time. He would be killing it in today's game. Another good memory Yinz 👍

[@MarkEvanWhite]

Dick Lebeau head coach of bengals. I didn’t realize it until I saw him at the end.

[@balcorn9211]

lol at Dick Lebeau being the Bengals head coach.

[@RichardRitenour0522]

This was a very emotional day for me and my close friends, we spent a lot of our teen years thru the first four Super Bowls at Three Rivers Stadium and like an old, dear friend we hated seeing it be left to history. But, as we all know, life forges ahead and the past must be left to memories so we began to make new remembrances at the new Heinz Field. I live in Georgia now and miss football season in PA but I am planning to go to training camp this year so Here We Go Yinz!

[@ItzYinzburgh]

Awesome! The memories have been great in Heinz! I’m looking forward to training camp too & going to try to get some content there

[@RichardRitenour0522]

@@ItzYinzburgh Definitely looking forward to that!

[@letsgobrandon7297]

Truths33ker22: If Heinz has the same amount of time 3 rivers had that means that’s Heinz memories are almost over. 30 yrs 3 rivers and 21 at Heinz.

[@MarkEvanWhite]

Stewart had so much talent and potential. I was so sure he was going to be a superstar QB!

[@d0nKsTaH]

Steelers were 13-3 that season.. They had lost their opener 21-3 at Jacksonville Went on to a 13-2 romp through the season including two losses by just 3 points (13-10 to Baltimore and 26-23 to Cin) A dominating season that people forgot because freaking New England and Brady won the Championship!

[@BeingConsciousness-yw3zw]

I was in my teens during this era and I was waiting all season for the Steelers to embarrass those sissy boys Rams in the super bowl. I couldn’t stand all that passing, and any team that got physical with the Rams, the Rams would crumble.

[@JAK-n-DAX]

For as long as I live I will never understand how a man as big as Bettis could move like that.

[@nick56677]

There was nothing like having an Offensive Lineman as a running back😂

[@nick56677]

7:54 one of my all time favorite Steelers #91. Man was a wrecking ball. Watch every Steelers defensive play in this clip and keep an eye on Aaron Smith, and you'll see #91 around the ball 95% of the time. He was THAT DAMN GOOD!

[@yungcalfgolf8707]

Same dude talk about someone that was never given his flowers guy was an animal he did it the right way to great run defender sucks he always got unlucky with injuries

[@PatHutchison-x2v]

If Kordell Stewart entered the 2025 NFL draft, he would be the 1st pick. Incredible athlete, rocket arm and accurate from the pocket. He would be a dream for coaches of this era, Aalborg they would build offenses are kind his skills.

[@kenbourekas420]

God just brings back nightmares of Kordell so much potential there but you could just see the flaws so slow with the snap and the drop back not fast enough recognizing he was really good when he was decisive hell of an offense though the line the backs all the WR just fun to watch

[@treemane420]

You can relive them if we roll with Fields next year!

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

Beating that Bungle a**! Love it 🖤💛

[@nick56677]

What a first head Coach to go against in Dick Lebeau! U can tell Lebeau's defensive philosophy was in play at 2:35 is the cross dog blitz, a bread and butter staple of the Lebeau defense. Cincy and Lebeau was a terrible fit because Cincy is a 4-3 team, and Lebeau is a 3-4 mastermind.

[@BuccWylde]

Dominated but left a lot of points on the field. From this clip it appears the Steelers came away with zero points on at least three of their redzone trips. If they finish off their drives they woulda had anywhere from 24-36 points by game's end.

[@atrain818]

Yeah. All those yds rushing plus the defensive got a turnover and the game was still up for grabs with less than 2 minutes left. I remember thinking, stillers really letting da bungles hang around.

I would give any dollar amount for our running game to get back to this form. Damn, we were physical.💪💪💪

I was at this game. It was my first Steelers game!

[@ottoirizarry41]

Good old days

[@joeheid4757]

I was at this game. If I remember right this was NOT supposed to be their home opener. The actual one was ppd because of 9/11. This was their scheduled 2nd home game. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@ItzYinzburgh]

Yes, that is correct Joe!

[@soulesslemming]

Nope you are correct, we were supposed to open up the new stadium vs the Browns.

[@joeheid4757]

@@ItzYinzburgh If I also remember Bush started the Shock and Awe attacks or whatever they were called on that exact Sunday too. Am I right on that too?

[@Iqzaman]

Yes you are right, I had tickets for the first game, forget who we played and when it was rescheduled

[@goldenknight2961]

Bettie looks like how most linemen are today

[@anthd6747]

so.. Kordell Stewart had the first td in heinz field

[@d-mo733]

Kordell is one of the NFL greatest athletes! He is a better athlete than Lamar Jackson but everyone thinks Lamar is so great! Neither of these 2 are great passers. Keep them under 20 throws a game and both can keep you in the game bc of rushing. Only difference is Lamar can’t play WR Or Kicker and Kordell could! Wish ppl gave the man more credit. He was the original RB playing QB

[@mikefrank115]

Still one of only 2 players in NFL history to throw and 80+ yard touchdown, run for an 80+ yard touchdown, and catch an 80+ yard touchdown. Phenomenal athlete!

[@PeterSedesse]

The house that Kordell built. ....

Now do last game at Heinz field

[@wrmwud]

all that offense and only scored 16 points, now i remember why they lost so many afc title games

[@inrainbows1829]

The second scheduled game at Heinz Field due to 911 I had tix to the first game against Cleveland which got rescheduled to January and I was there I gave up my season Tix after 1998 because they became to expensive

[@edc8909]

I still think Cordell was a really good QB. He was missed coached 😮

Should have been 30 to 7
