Early 00s football was so good, i miss this vibe

[@jasonr375]

yes

[@ericpackers1700]

Amen

Same. I grew up on late 90’s early 00’s football

Me too.

I was there. It was freezing.

All Titans great games are because when it was major stage we always choked

Nedney's acting saves the day.,

[@Miller2h41]

This playoff game was great. The momentum swung like a pendulum all the way to the end, it was one of those classic games.

[@zdc4bama]

Exactly. It's one of the great NFL Games that not many people remember.

[@Miller2h41]

But I remember it very well. Steve McNair was just slinging it all over the field and the steelers defense had no answer.

[@Miller2h41]

It was quite amazing the Titans won even though the steelers won the turnover battle because teams that win the turnover battle win more times than not. I think the biggest play was when plaxico burress dropped that pass because that was a touchdown and the score would have been 35 - 28 and not 31 - 28 at that time.

[@khrazy5150]

If Vince Young was HALF as tough as Steve McNair, the Titans would’ve been a contender.

[@keydageneral3417]

Right

[@TaintedNimbus]

He wasn't anywhere near as smart as McNair either.

[@jamesroberts1810]

Mcnair was tough as nails !! We had a chance to win every week !! Titanup##

[@howardcosell2022]

McNair was built like a FB, Young was built like a WR. Of course the fullback is going to be tougher

[@acgriff93]

These Games of the Week are great! Nice to see these again. If you can find it, the 2003 wildcard game against the Ravens would be a good one.

[@jermycarmichael4121]

Alex Griffith NFL uploaded that

[@acgriff93]

The uploaded the actual broadcast, which is great! I'm talking about the game of the week, with the narration and NFL films music.

[@thomascrowley9757]

This was a great game that you don't hear alot about

[@alexcharles2716]

Because the Steelers got fucking robbed.

[@Miller2h41]

What I remember the most was how the momentum would swing like a pendulum from one side to the other, kept you glued to the TV to see who would come out on top.

this game, 1998 bills dolphins wild card, 98 nfc title and chargers colts 2007 divisional are the most underrated and forgotten games of all time

Great game! I haven't seen it since it originally aired. The winner goes to Oakland.

[@JimmyH91]

35:23 I still remember James Farrior landing on his head and all his limbs flying different directions as he bounced up. I thought the dude was dead for half a second

[@Miller2h41]

I remember that very vividly how Farrior landed on the side of his head and even more remarkable is he was only out for one play. These days Farrior would have possibly been held out for the remainder of the game.

[@JimmyH91]

@@Miller2h41 it took him 1 play to find his soul and stuff it back into his body

[@Miller2h41]

@@JimmyH91 Good thing too because the player who subbed in for him (#95) on the next play got chop blocked and suffered a hyperextended knee injury then Farrior came running back onto the field as he limped off.

[@istandwithkalief9993]

We would've went to the Super Bowl this year if we had anything that resembled a secondary

[@cortezmauricio8099]

Wicked Hash not really

[@omars__volta]

I remember this game, I was 14 years old and me and my family were on acapulco on vacation, my dad took me and my brother to the hotel room to watch the game while the rest of my family was on the beach, despite steelers lost I have great memories

[@YankeesLife]

In my opinion, i think if pittsburgh would have won they probably would not have been able to draft polamalu

[@brandonfouts4074]

great memories... the game style was better back then, more competitive

[@finchborat]

This was the last time the Titans won at home in the playoffs. I was in the 5th grade and my grandfather died 2 weeks after this game.

[@johnferris9526]

My dad and I went to this game. We were both freezing our asses off. It was cold that night. He's passed away now. Sorry for your loss. I understand.

[@antoniocapilupi1225]

Ended up being good friends with titans center #64 Gennaro Dinapoli by accident being a tech at Danbury harley, still keep in touch with him today lol

[@dwhipp7661]

I think we would have beat the Buccaneers if we would have beat the Raiders in the Conference title game. The Super Bowl would have been a whole lot closer at least without Chucky knowing the whole Raiders playbook and game plan lol

[@jamesroberts1810]

That was a gimme superbowl win for tampa bay !! Dungy built that defense..gruden overrated

[@seanakridge2971]

I was at this game.

I hate that we don’t play Pittsburgh anymore every 2 games or at least 1 every year

[@anonymoususer450]

One team won the AFC title 3 years earlier, the other would the AFC (and Super Bowl) 3 years later

11:11 the original butt fumble

[@Miller2h41]

Except it was blatant like Sanchez

[@enragedpanda1]

I remember watching these on hulu back in the day

[@finchborat]

Me too. I wish Hulu didn't get rid of all the Game of the Week episodes. Those were fun to watch. I just wish they were available online. Next summer will mark 10 yrs since they got rid of not only Game of the Week, but also the America's Game episodes and the various yearbook specials for all 32 teams. Had I known all of that was coming, I would've recorded as many episodes I could (mainly Patriots episodes).

[@jacksod-games3588]

Happy birthday dude

[@Caroompa444]

If only Pittsburgh had a secondary that year....

[@howardcosell2022]

They never should have let Rod Woodson go because he was eventually going to play safety

[@goodreverend2k1]

If they did they wouldn't have been able to draft Troy Polamalu.

[@electricblaze9928]

The Steelers "lost" their fans got robbed!!! A sign of things to come in today's NFL. Because of Technology and Political corrections the grey area has been eliminated. The ability of Referees to think and make decisions without some analyst in New York second guessing and over turning a call from 3,000 miles away. Driverless cars and referee free games bring it on!

[@Miller2h41]

The steelers didn't get robbed. They didn't take full advantage of all four turnovers off the titans. The biggest play was when plaxico burress dropped that pass because that was going to be a touchdown and the score would have been 35 - 28 and not 31 - 28 at that time. The two times they settled for field goals off those turnovers was when Maddox targeted burress.
