People talk about the Bears vs Packers, Cowboys vs Eagles & Seahawks vs 49ers but this right was a very underrated rivalry the games between these two were always intense
This was the hardest hitting rivalry of all time
Underrated?!?! This is one of if not THE most hyped up rivalry in the NFL. And Cowboys/Washington is a better rivalry tbh...
@@jamtop1105 exactly. was gonna say the same thing. everything is "underrated" or "low key" these days.
Those 3 games in 2008 where some of the hardest hitting games In nfl history
Ahhh 2008 back when football was still football
I'm not a Steelers or a Ravens fan and even I remember those games in 2008. Especially in the AFC Championship game. That hit that Ryan Clark layed on Willis McGahee was crushing!
That 2008-2012 era was the height of the rivalry, So many hits, so many car crashes, so many laid out bodies. So many memories. They got to play for the right to play for the Super Bowl. Doesent get more intense than that.
@@TheDCGuitar13 no it wasnt. There was always a rivalry. But it was mainly from 06-2011
Limas Sweed made his best play in the championship game
Over 11 years later and the conference still hasnt changed up bengals and browns still at the bottom... Lmfao
right..that either shows how well run the Ravens and Steelers are or it shows how poorly the Bengals and Browns are ran...
@@carsonc29 yea but atleast the bengals had few good years though
They had beasts on defense.
@@carsonc29 I would agree that the Bengals did have some pretty boss teams that made it to the playoffs, but never had the discipline to win. They had a really good defense for a while. The offense was really good at times with Carson Palmer, and saw some decent seasons with Dalton.
@@90FirstGenPGT if Palmer hadnt gotten injured in that playoff game vs Pittsburgh, they probably win that game and who knows, maybe make the SB..they do that and the direction of the Bengals is probably way different..that was probably the best team they've had since the Boomer days of the late 80's
you know its a rivalry when the kicker's pushing dudes around
Ben was SURGICAL on that last drive!! Packed house, road game, super tough defense, marched right down field!!
* beside this one. NFL admitted that the ball never crossed the line on that drive. Also 6 delay of game penalties not called.
It didn't have to. Both feet in the endzone with possession. It's no different than a sideline endzone catch.@@paulblay2330
@@paulblay2330Are you kidding me ?, learn the rules, with both feet inside the end zone, no matter that the ball is not inside.
There were also several bad referee bad calls for the Steelers.
This was your classic “defensive battle”!! But man that final drive was so beautiful!! And so well executed!! It was frankly, a masterpiece!! And this game was the biggest reason why I wasn’t nervous after that Larry Fitzgerald touchdown in Super Bowl 43!! Because the 2008 Steelers season was full of 4th quarter comeback victories, via late 4th quarter drives!! What a season!!
Brings me back to freshman year of high school 🙌
Ed Reid and Ray lewis were a Bodybag combo.
Got to love a great defensive battle. Especially from these two afc north rivals.
The Steelers defense review kept my mouth open for like 1 minute lol
There's quite a few of these rivalry games, must've been a fun one back then.
my dad had ravens season tickets for 15 years and when i got old enough to decide whether i wanted to go or not i always called dibs on the steelers game. guaranteed to be a great game for quite a few years. When the nfl started cracking down on defensive hits it got hard to watch when the penalty flags just flew all game long (usually against the ravens)
Joe flacco and Lamar Jackson I did factor in that Joe flacco win a playoff game from 2008 to 2012 in each year
being a browns fan and watching us play these 2 twice a year still haunts me
Didnt you guys upload this game already?
The Ravens were robbed in this game the touchdown the ball never crossed the plane and the 3 and 1 early in the game was stopped short which led to steelers first 3 points
Josh Calbert Ravens robbed themselves...9 points at home, settling for fgs...if you need the help from refs to Win, you will always get screwed over. TD was legit btw, blimp view, ball crossed and he has possession. The 3rd and short was garbage, I’ll give you that, clearly didn’t get it lol
I always feel so sorry for Carson Palmer of the Cincinnati Bengals. Think about this in his career at Cincinnati he had to play 2 games of the year against the Baltimore Ravens and this included with Trail Suggs Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. And then another 2 games against the steelers with James Harrison and Troy polamalu. So yeah a quarter of his season the defense he had a play was either than the number one rated defense in a league or the number two rated defense in the league.😵.
That was not a TD...but one hell of a catch...
That was 100% a steelers TD LOL! He caught the ball IN the endzone. That's the definition of a TD LOL!
@@masterstumpy3583 freeze it at 14:02...lol, lol, lol, lol. What a dick rida...
Aahhh, the good old days when tgere was a real rivalry
Bears and Packers rivalry is better still to this day and has lasted longer than the Ravens/Steelers rivalry.
Still been a rivalry, generally exchange blows year to year, even last year the drizzled shit back-ups almost beat them in the first game, Juju with a bad fumble and a lucky bounce saved that one one for them. Defense embarrassed Jackson that game, his worst game of the season, lucky Ben wasn't in there.
@@masterstumpy3583 Not for decades, Steelers/Ravens is the best rivalry of the 2000's by far. Classic after classic, both teams being contenders for most of the last 20 years, Bears have been mostly shit, and the games didn't come anywhere close to the intensity.
@@RagnarokMic Sooo. Yes, for decades. A decade is 10 years and 2 decades went by. lol!
So like I said "For Decades"
Bears/Packers hasn't compared this generation, they don't come close to Ravens/Steelers from the 00's to now. The hardest hitting rivalry in football between 2 teams that have consistently been amongst the best. Might have been a time when Bears/Packers was a great rivalry, but lately, all they have is history.
And really, the rivalries barely even predate each other, as the Ravens are actually backed by an organization that was founded in the 40's, who were the Steelers most heated rivals, they just changed their name when they moved cities.
Reed should’ve been released by the Steelers that day. He jeopardized the game because he got his little itty bitty feelings hurt.
Matthew 11:30
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
¡¡Damn it flacco!! 🤬💔
For those who are to lazy to check...freeze this shyt at 14:02...not a touchdown...holloween is on 10/31, not everyday when we feel like it...animed mf's
It sure is, it tips the line and then he falls forward, second it hits his hands all he has to do is keep control for it to count, he does...TD. Even if he is imperceptibly short, it's not definitive, and can't be overturned, same as if they called him short.
@@RagnarokMic mannn...quit make up Halloween shyt...beat new England in a AFC title...didn't yall lose to Tim Tebow...shut the f up
I wish ravens had a player like Lamar Jackson Alon with that defense
Bruh joe flacco won you guys a super bowl stfu
Yeah lol, this game was the complete opposite of what is going down this week......Nothing for us to play for haha. Still hate Walt Coleman's guts for that call, it was absolute bullshit.
Good Lord what an ugly choke by the ravens
Us Steelers and Ravens can agree on one thing:
THIS IS THE BEST RIVALRY IN ALL OF FOOTBALL
That, and we both hate the Pats.
As a die hard steelers fan, I always rooted for the ravens when we weren't in the playoffs. Watching the ravens those years was like watching the steelers. I loved those games and those times. where our defenses would just dominate teams.
twrecks1217 nah bro fuck the ravens
As a ravens fan I respect the Steelers as a rival, good rivalries elevate both teams, but I would never root for them no matter what, even as much as I hate the patriots and cowboys I’d still want them to win over Pittsburgh
eldiego68 as a redskins fan living in Massachusetts I cheered for the eagles in the Super Bowl in 2017 f the pats
As a Ravens fan, I sure miss this rivalry. These were the two best defenses in football. What made the Steelers better during this time was they had the better QB. Big Ben would always make the plays in the clutch to win the game.That was the difference early on until Flacco got more experience and started snatching some wins of his own. Two awesome franchises going for blood every time they met. Much respect Steeler fans.
It is crazy how many hall of famers competed in this rivalry lol I still hate Suggs, respect the talent though. I agree for much of this it seemed like Flacco would do something to lose it or couldn't make that 1 play when they needed it. Cincy had their rubs, but the constant was always the Steelers and Ravens. Every game seemed like it was to decide the division or seeding in the playoffs lol I miss it man never could tell how the game would go but knew Troy and Ray were coming to play.
Lifelong Stiller Fan, and thanks for the Respect......but your Franchise is the Original Browns, and your the Stillers Best Division Opponent every year .....so, YOU GUYS SUCK!
Let's stop the tailgating, and settle this in the Parking Lot...... We got plenty of Terrible Towels for your Blood and Tears!😉 ( If it can't be Stillers, I root for the Ravens.....we get a better draft pick, and well Defensive Football is a Pgh Thing....I can grudgingly appreciate, even you Ratbirds😒
Respect ✊🏽
@@mannyjaybirdtv873 Thank You Bro.....lets just go in and Suffer Together and watch the game....its gonna take years off our lives, even if we Duke it out in the Parking Lot.
We Need to Fear the Bungals now.....they got a Big Ben Jr. At Qb
As an old school unbiased Steelers fan this in my opinion is the best NFL Rivalry of all-time.
You had me in the first half ngl
MRTUPAC 28 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Please. It’s not even the best rivalry in Steelers history.
@@cbod14 best rivalry of the 2000-2010 era by miles
@@kh4n49 more like 2000 to 2019
Only down year really was in 2015 or 2016 when Flacco was out and Mallett/Clausen was in...even then they beat the Steelers but it just meant less that year
I’m a ravens fan and I agree
So many legends in this game
I WOULDN'T CALL RAY RICE A LEGEND
Several HOF'ers... Troy Polomaulu, Ray Lewis so far... Ed Reed will soon join as first ballot as his Steelers counterpart. Ben Roethlisberger will come along later as I'm sure a few others will as well. I forgot what slugfests these games were. Seemingly every play was max superbowl level competition.
I honestly didn't expect a post on Christmas. This is a nice gift as the Steelers/Ravens rivalry was something else for a few years there. Merry Christmas to all those who work on the NFL Throwback social media (YT, insta, Twitter)
Merry Christmas to you too!
Back when I was a huge TH-cam guy, there was a lot of old CFB games and highlights but never really much old time NFL content. Now in the past 3 years, the league has done a lot to share it's great history with the fans. Thank you NFL Throwback and Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you too!
It's amazing how this was Flacco's and Ray Rice's rookie season and the Ravens made it to the AFC championship game
Flacco was a game manager that whole year they got to the AFC Championship based on that Defense and Willis Mcgahee
@@bmorebirdsnest92
He was a rookie, ofc he was a fucking game manager. He eventually became a superbowl champ and MVP where he was anything but a game manager. 11tds 0ints, oh and that "GaMe MaNaGeR" won rookie of the year. Put some respect on Joe's name bitch.

Actually Joe didn't win RotY. Matt Ryan did.
@@matthewmiller7207
Kid, I'm not gonna argue with you or insult you. I'll let your ignorance slide. I'm a diehard Ravens fan since the beginning in '96, there's nothing Ravens related I don't know. All you have to do is take 10 seconds and Google "did Joe Flacco win rookie of the year?" Matt Ryan did not win no damn rookie of the year. That is all.
Edit: I just looked it up. (see, Google is your friend bud) I see your confusion. Matty Ice was the *offensive* rookie of the year. I don't know who was defensive ROTY, it doesn't matter. Like I said, Joe cool won ROTY... That is all.
@CHAD
I'm not worshipping anyone dumbass. I'm just a huge fan, you just called yourself a "huge fan" so does that mean you worship a bunch of grown men who play for the Steelers? And so what you don't care about stats and awards? I was making a statement on a football topic and those were my focal points. If you don't have anything intelligent to say and you can't actually add to the debate. Do us all a favor and stfu. But you're a Shittsburg fan. So it's no surprise that you spew literal excrement. Fucking prick.
These 2 teams would meet again in the AFC Championship game later on that season
Stop it steelers aren't making the playoffs
If steelers win and make the playoffs they get 6 seed ravens already have 1 seed so how would they make the afc Championship
@@bgstv10001 he was talking about the 2008 season my dude. Not the current 2019 season
@@adventureanglingpnw1821 yep my bad my apologies
Steven White well we still might have a chance because ravens are resting their starters so we just need Tennessee to lose and we have a wildcard shot
Smash-mouth football.

Man what a throwback game , these Ravens and Steelers wow , just amazing, back in 2008 no less
does NFL Throwback ever have games where the Ravens won against the Steelers? They won more games than lost in the 2010s
@@matthewcurtis2904 Like the wild card game in 2015 where the ravens whooped the Steelers? Ok
The ones they won were boring...except for that one in 2009 where Housmanzadeh shook Ike Taylor, that game was actually decent
@@matthewcurtis2904 You sure about that one, buddy?
@@matthewcurtis2904 ummmm the 2014 wildcard??? Ravens blew them out 31-17......
@@fredleeland2464 housmanzadeh wasn't with the Ravens in 09.....that was 2010
Ravens vs steelere has always been a hard hitting rivalry. It's a shame the nfl wants to get rid of hard hits to save money
AGK927 I agree the roughing the passer and helmet to helmet rules suck!
Big Chungus Roughing the passer sounds like some bs. Come on,footballs rough at I right
Electric Paper Exactly
Almost as bad as murdre
All of y'all are mistaken. They would've just paid the money, and kept going, the government forced them to adopt new rules and concussion protocols. From peewee football to the pros.
These are always the best games of the season, look at the defense and tackles on both sides. As a lifetime Steelers fan I've always respected our rivals.
I still don’t understand how that call was reversed to a touchdown.
Retarded refs
BmoreBirds Nest Back then in this time the steelers always had the benefit of the refs no matter who they were playing
Ball just barely broke the plain with 2 feet in with possession. Quit being a crybaby it was 11 years ago
Look at any screenshot of the touchdown online and you'll see the ball broke the plane. I know there was some questionable Officiating in this era of the Steelers, but this is far from the biggest one.
Acapt I was at this game and believe you me, the ravens fans were not fucking happy. Asked a dude for a light on our way out of the stadium and he refused because we were Steelers fans 😂. Did the ravens deserve to get bailed out after that last minute drive where they totally blew it on defense and then Holmes got two feet in the end zone? that’s just all a gift from the refs when y’all didn’t score a single touchdown? Don’t be ridiculous guys this is your year, enjoy it before Lamar gets a career ending injury and joins rg3 on the bench.
Probably my favorite game of the Steelers/Ravens rivalry growing up. Tough, hard hitting, smash mouth Football. A great and entertaining game, despite it being a low scoring one.
Mine is that one from 2007 where James Harrison went off
Man. Hines Ward is fearless.
It was a tough 3 losses to this Steelers team but after the season we had the year prior to that, this was a step in the right direction.
2008-2012 throughout high school was a great time. 2013 was my belated Christmas gift
All of the hits in this game would be a penalty today 😅
This Steelers team was nasty especially the defense they deserved that Super Bowl title coming from a Browns fan
Oh the pain of a Ravens fan. We have lost so many games when the opponent doesn't score 15.
One common denominator, belicheks offense didnt choke against the undefeated pats, unlucky game, imagine if he had flacco, he made this team tbh
Steelers fans?? 💪 💪
The thing that I found most interesting about this video is at the end when he said the Steelers were battling for homefield with New England and Miami 😂
Stl cardinals you heard wrong
As a steelers fan I respect the ravens.
Same
Baltimore fan here. Few things a frustrating as losing to Pittsburgh or as satisfying as a w against them. What a good rivalry. Every game was close.
Ben had so many clutch GW drives that season, but this one is IMO one of his greatest GW drives; on the road in Baltimore, against that defense with Ray, Suggs, Reed, Ngata, etc. with the division title on the line, and 92 yards to go. I'd say it was his best but he outdid himself later that year in the Super Bowl against Arizona.
Every time y’all show Ravens vs Steelers on this channel it’s always games that the Steelers won 💀
Hate that about it.
Right this youtube page don't ever show the games where the Ravens beat Pittsburgh only the ones they lost 🤔 starting to this the guy running this page is a steeler homer
Becuz most of the games where the Steelers won it was a good game. Why the fuck does everyone always complain about this. Just relax and watch a throwback
@@acapt3593 no check the record again lol, it won't be a rivalry if only won team wins.
you're right they don’t only show big games from the 2000’s
Thanks for making us Steelers fans feel better 😢
Remember this was the year Brady tore his ACL
Except this time it means nothing for Baltimore and everything for Pittsburgh
Yonathan Gonzalez yeah cause Baltimore would smash Steelers now.
@@jaimeponce8873 But Baltimore still cant win a superbowl in nowadays.
@@jaimeponce8873 Steelers just swept Baltimore tf u talking about 🤗
Baltimore and Pittsburgh both had GREAT defenses during this era and both teams were Super Bowl contenders year after year. To me the difference came down to the QB position - Flacco was good but Ben was great and came through in the clutch more often. Most of those battles could have gone either way regardless......that's how close these teams were
The most epic rivalry is the patriots vs the league
LOL! 13:23 Me when I press the X button too many times too quickly on the ps4 controller.
We were the hardest hitting teams in the league every body couldn’t wait until we played these were the days I was like 10-12 and was literally bitting my nails on these games they had the best lb and we had the best safety have the ravens but always respected them and they’re game them boys fight MAN DO I FUCKING MISS HINEZ WARD
As much as I hate the Steelers, there's no point of hyping this game. We're resting our players
Exactly this is basically a throw away game
Duck or Rudolph please just win
Rudolph is on IR
born 2 shit forced 2 wipe the steelers are still playing with a bunch of backups too
Don’t forget, y’all need the Titans to lose too.
@@Nerd0208 The Titans are playing Houston. They still have seeding to play for, so count on the Texans to do their best to win.
Yeah like to see Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have to dog fight to win his division like the Steelers have to every year. That's what makes this Steelers and Raven rivalry the biggest in The NFL because the winner is usually getting the division Winner too.
Fun defensive battle.
Hard hitting trash talking football🤤
Man for how “great” Ed Reed and Ray Lewis were, they sure gave up a lot of clutch game-winning drives to the Steelers in their careers 😂 😂 😂
If only the Steelers defense and offense was still good
their defense has been quietly good this year, i wish for a good offense though.
Steelers will always kick the ravens ass! GO STEELERS NATION! Raymond Martinez Albuquerque NM.
I was at this Game . It was cold af. That call at the end took forever.
So was I. It was three days before my birthday. I was turning nine years old. I was in third grade. It’s the only time that I’ve ever attended a Ravens game since I moved to Baltimore the year in which the game occurred
Mory Gbane that’s funny I was 10 at the time , should have caught these hands in the parking lot to settle our differences 😂
I was there too! Section 144. I was 18 at the time so no drinking to stay warm, so I was huddled in my ravens blanket just waiting for it to be over (exciting game yes but god damn after 4 hours and your hand warmers have gone cold you just wanna be warm) and then I heard my dad yell OH FUCK NO and I stood up to see the replay. it felt like that call took at least 15 mins to settle and when the call came in that stadium exploded. i knew the walk back to the car was gonna be interesting. I always loved going to the steelers ravens games back then, they were consistently exciting and just great football.
6-9 in the 4th quarter with 6:35 left Jesus Christ, we’re spoiled in today’s NFL every scores a bunch of points, there’s no more lockdown defenses like these two teams had anymore it kinda sucks
I miss this physical style of nfl football 🥴😒
These days are long gone
So they didn’t have enough evidence to overturn the 1st down call but enough to overturn the call on the field at the end of the game and give a TD?... and before someone responds saying the TD was the right call, I agree, it was a TD. I’m just pointing out the inconsistency with the ref’s criteria even within the same game. The TD was definitely harder to tell that he was in, whereas the 1st down play it was pretty evident that he didn’t reach the mark.
I’m a Ravens fan and I hate the Steelers no matter what but the physicality and rivalry is slowly fading away and the browns seems to be a new rivalry in Lamar and Mayfield !! Miss the matchups between Ray and Polamalu and Lewis and Harrison
I miss these days of football. Football isnt football anymore. Its ballet and disco.
These games was called the body bag games bc someone was getting carried out on a stretcher
This rivalry is not what it used to be.
Oh yeah, a touchdown where the ball doesn't cross the plane. I remember this game.
Ik right Steelers win every time
What an excellent final drive by Big Ben and the Steelers offense
The refs' spot on in the 2Q 3:24 hilarious
Can you imagine a Steelers vs Ravens Super Bowl game?
It would be "The Game of the Century"
It's a shame that it'll never happen.
The greatest rivalry still today
Imagine Mike T With Ray An Ed 😁😣🔥🔥.... Pre-Game Gone Be So Lit"
the good old days, when they still played defense
i miss ray lewis and am an eagles fan!
How many hall of famers were in this game? 😱
1 Corinthians 12:28
“And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”
King James Version (KJV)
Phil Simms killing it here with on pointness
They don’t make defenses like these anymore
This is the kind of game I love to watch. Old school and physical. Both teams want to win. Big time rivalry. So intense! With all the rules instituted in today’s game, it’s just not the same. Yes, I get the fact that a lot of these rules are to protect players, but I miss the emotion and intensity.
How can it be “everything on the line” when the losing team wasn’t eliminated from the postseason (and eventually made it)?
Flacco is not an NFL-level Qb.
Typical Steelers play...... Steelers are 3rd and 10 from their own 20, they run the ball to the 29 and are stopped for a steelers touchdown
Still mad about that TD reversal lol.
Edit: And for the idiots, Matt Ryan won offensive ROTY. Flacco won the Pepsi ROTY. They even mention it in a episode of Grid Iron Heights for Christ sake.
The most heated rivalry
Matthew 12:33
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Great rivalry. Steelers haven’t lost a game in week 17 since 2007. Looking forward for the game this Sunday 🏈. Also merry Christmas!🎄🎁
That was not a TD for PIT lmao
Flacco running the option 😂
Psalms 34:6
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Ravens do what Steelers can't do...and that's beating Brady...Steelers do what Ravens can't do...lose to NE in the AFC championship and get kicked out of the playoffs by Tim Tebow...gloat on that part...
As a Steelers fan, that TD reminded me of one vs Seahawks in SB40. To me we are Micro inches from the goal line. It doesn’t look conclusive to be a TD.
Incredible game and rivalry.
Hey Baltimore Fans,
I Hope this video brings back memories of pain and sadness!
Your's Truly,
-Steelers Fans
As a Ravens fan, this made me laugh. It's all mutual respect. I know we gave you guys some memories of pain and sadness as well
@@raya7052 yup, we’ve done it to each other so many times
Epic battle my azz...what ever happened to that phantom holding call on that punt return for a touchdown they blame #15 for...or what about when your head coach came on the field during a kickoff return by Jacoby Jones...
fan of neither but 2 things that stood out to me.
1. A streaking Ray Lewis coming for you is beyond scary. Pretty sure Ben shit his pants.
2. Ed Reed is by far better then Troy Polomalu by far. Ed Reed is the king of the safety's. No debate
