@Joshua Muhozi agreed. I have these 97-98 Broncos games driving me nuts. I want the modern angles too; the Shanahan outside zone scheme with Terrel Davis and Elway executing it? Where all that 2019 Niners stuff came from, complete with passes to the FB? I'd really like to know at least how many deep safeties; 2 deep MOFO 1 Deep MOFC. That shit matters to the connoisseur of recorded football.
The Pittsburgh Steelers played in 2 classic playoff games in back-to-back weeks that nobody really talks about. I'm not a Steelers fan but I remember being in my early 20s watching both those playoff games like damn they winning on a miracle and then lose on a miracle.
I think the cheesy ending ruined it for a lot of people. The other 3 games that Divisional weekend were all blowouts so this game got all the pub the following week and all anyone talked about was the questionable call at the end and not the great 60 minutes that led up to it. It overshadowed the rest of the game, I think that's why this one kind of gets buried.
@@MerokoGaming He was not "ran into". He was barely contacted, and that would not be flagged if he hadn't thrown himself to the ground. He fucking cheated.
He admitted after the game that it was an act - said he knew he had shanked the kick so he dramatically fell down and drew the flag. Laughed about it and made some flippant comment like "maybe I'll go into acting next" and was heavily criticized for making a mockery of a playoff game. Should have just taken the gift and not run his mouth about it.
This game would mark -The first-ever playoff win for the Titans/Oilers over the Steelers -The last Titans home playoff win to date -The last Steelers divisional round loss until 2015 -The last playoff start for Tommy Maddox
The Titans were a dominant team 1999-2003. I feel bad for this core group of players that they were never able to win it all. Some great generations just tragically come up short. Same thing happened to Tony Romo and Jason Witten for my team, the Cowboys
If ever there was a game that defined what pendulum means this was that game because the momentum swung back in forth in such a dramatic fashion and it came down to the end.
The Titans literally bullied the Steelers in this game! The titans players were laying the smack down on them! This was one of the most physical games that I’ve ever seen. Players now days would probably quit after the first quarter if they had to play this physical
@@Lucasindahouse You're thinking of the 1999 season, which included the Music City Miracle against Buffalo. The Titans never went back to the Super Bowl unfortunately. Although it's nice to see them make a return to the AFC Championship game this year, they had Kansas City's number as well. They beat them earlier in the season on that blocked field goal moment, and the AFC Championship game they dominated several quarters. Unfortunate way to end their season and Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl, but here's hoping we see Titans return to the AFC Championship game this year, a solid team, as solid as the 1999 team that went all the way. Titans need a Super Bowl win, we are due for one :)
I was going to ask you how the hell were you able to preserve this in HD until I saw that this was an NFL Network replay. I was not able to preserve HD programming until 2005!
I remember wanting him to coach my Redskins at one point. Even when the Titans didn't make the playoffs, he at least had them in contention for the most part. I don't know what happened.
From 1999-2003 Fisher's record with the Titans was 61-28 with 4 playoff berths, a Super Bowl appearance and an AFC Championship appearance. But then sort of reverted back to the "Mister 8-8" that he was known as before that. During those 5 years he was thought of as one of the best, though.
Good thing James Farrior was out for one play because his backup (#95, Mike Jones) got chop blocked and hurt his knee. These days Farrior would've been out for more than a play as it really shows how much things have changed.
You got 2 HOF Running Backs Eddie George and Jerome Bettis having bad days. One thing I hate about Old Football; its almost impossible to find great teams running it well against eachother, like a duel of 120 v 120 rushing yards. Esp in the playoffs.
Maddox blew it. The final set of downs for the Steelers in the 4th quarter were proof of that. He missed wide open guys because his arm strength was nonexistent.
How was it robbery? The call was right. He was ran into, the acting didn't matter. In fact the acting DIDN'T work, if it had, it would've gotten them roughing instead. He was ran into, that's illegal...regardless of the selling
One of the dumbed moves in the history of the Steelers franchise was starting Amos scared of contact so I’m a run the wrong way Zeroue, over hall of gamer Jerome Bettis.. it’s almost like Cowher self sabotaged because he wanted fired because he was tired of all those heartbreaking afc championship losses at home. But the Steelers don’t believe in firing head coaches so he finally got that ring. But the decision to start Amos is indicative of the type of calls he made resulting in blowing a dynastic roster. Loaded with hall of gamers the Steelers should have one a few more super Bowl rings. Bettis polamalu Faneca Dawson rod woodson Kevin Greene and soon to be hof-ers like Hines ward Plax burress James Harrison James Farrior Casey Hampton markeice pouncey Big Ben roethlisberger and hall of very good like Carnell Lake Greg Lloyd Joey porter Ike Taylor Ryan Clark Antwan Randle El Levon Kirkland all those guys should get both Colbert an Ton Donahoe into the hall. Nobody squandered talent like Cowher did. I mean he won but when he came up against hood teams with hood coaches he lost he’ll he lost a super bowl against Barry bleepin Switzer smh 🤦. Mike shanahan bill belicheat not to mention Jeff fisher an Tom coughlin at Jacksonville an Marty ball schottenheimer an freakin Bobby Ross an the Stan humphries qb’d chargers who got molly whopped in the super Bowl vs the 49ers. Ok I’m done Steelers playing Amos over the bus has to be one of the worst coaching decisions in nfl history. That’s equivalent to bill Walsh starting Steve de berg over Joe Montana
I was at this game. Best part was on my way out of the stadium I was pretty drunk and talking a lot of smack. I remember pulling up grass and pitching it in the air around some Steelers fans. While in the parking lot I hear some rapid footsteps behind me and got sucker punched by what looked to be a 12 year old kid. I was already wrecked so I just shrugged it off and watched him run like a coward towards the hotel across the street. Good times. TITAN UP!
what the fuck are you talking about? That isn't even remotely what happened. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to come and here and talk down McNair, trying to dishonor his legacy. Yes he had a mistress, yes he had an affair. The Murder Suicide had nothing to do with his wife though. It was clearly premeditated by the woman he was seeing, and the gun she bought was by someone she knew indicating a motive and conspiring together by the two. Stop trying to change the history and the facts. RIP McNair, he was a good person on and off the field.
IT'S GO B JUST LIKE 2002 TITANS BEAT STEELERS NOW 2021 TITANS WELL DO CAN TOMORROW JUST IN 2002 BUT IT WELL B 2021 TITANS WELL BLOW OUT THE STEELERS TOMORROW JUST LIKE IN 2002 STEELERS LOSE AND TITANS ELIMINATION STEELERS TOMORROW
its crazy how you can find games back to 2002 in HD but most stuff from 2008 is nowhere to be seen in anything better than 480p. Good upload tho
I know, right?

Great picture for a 20 year old video
One of the more underrated playoffs games in NFL history.
As well as the Steelers/Browns game the week before. No one really remembers that one cause of the Giants/49ers comeback game on the same day

@@pp3k3jamail great point . Last week was also a classic. Actually the browns game might have been more dramatic idk just my opinion

The 2002 playoffs had 3 really good games but the rest were all blowouts.
What a performance by the kicker. Should have been nominated for an Oscar.
not like the call would have been changed, he was ran into regardless of the selling
@@MerokoGaming He was not "ran into". He was barely contacted, and that would not be flagged if he hadn't thrown himself to the ground. He fucking cheated.
@@timhallas4275 LOL you're blind. Watch again. He was definitely hit. The spin move was acting, but he was definitely ran into. Go cry some more
@@MerokoGaming He was barely contacted, which would not be a penalty. The acting job is the ONLY reason they threw the flag.
He admitted after the game that it was an act - said he knew he had shanked the kick so he dramatically fell down and drew the flag.

RIP Air McNair, a true legend on and off the field.
It’s too bad he couldn’t stay faithful to his wife
RIP McNair!
@GuitarGangsterArmi I mean you don't know the story. No one ever will. Everyone makes mistakes and people can and do fall out of love
I love the upgraded version to this game!! Thank you Bart Simpson!!
Such an underrated playoff game in my opinion. Not talked about enough!
Steelers were so close.
This game would mark
-The first-ever playoff win for the Titans/Oilers over the Steelers
-The last Titans home playoff win to date
-The last Steelers divisional round loss until 2015
-The last playoff start for Tommy Maddox
One of the greatest forgotten NFL playoff game.
The 4th quarter of this game is one of the most violent stretches of football i’ve ever seen
Thank you for posting all these wonderful old games!
RIP Steve McNair, Dick Enberg, and Mike Heimerdinger!
The only thing I remember about this game is the fireworks going off prematurely. It still makes me laugh to this day
That's never a good omen 😂
This was one hell of a game, sucks that it ended the way it did, but still a classic.
Wow! I forgot we had Tommy Maddux as our QB back then amazin.....

The Titans literally bullied the Steelers in this game! The titans players were laying the smack down on them! This was one of the most physical games that I’ve ever seen. Players now days would probably quit after the first quarter if they had to play this physical
The Steelers did some bullying of their own.
Unfortunately, the Tennessee Titans lost to the Oakland Raiders in the afc championship game in 2002.
Yeah they hung with them for three quarters, but Oakland pulled away in the 4th.
L D that was 3 years before
and unfortunately for the raiders, they wish they didn't make it to the super bowl. the bucs straight up raped them!
Raiders lost to Tampa in the Super Bowl after that, unfortunately
@@Lucasindahouse You're thinking of the 1999 season, which included the Music City Miracle against Buffalo. The Titans never went back to the Super Bowl unfortunately. Although it's nice to see them make a return to the AFC Championship game this year, they had Kansas City's number as well.

I was going to ask you how the hell were you able to preserve this in HD until I saw that this was an NFL Network replay. I was not able to preserve HD programming until 2005!
It was usually taken from satellite TVs.
Even though being a steeler fan and losing this game, I love a tough good ole fashion football game compared to todays game
Steelers never gave up and did a good job getting back in the game after a slow start.
Titans@ home against a Tommy Maddox led Steelers team and barely pulled it out in OT...And how bout that fake fall by Nedney, fuckin ridiculous hahaha
he sold the hit sure, but they called Running into the kicker, which is the right call. He got ran into, regardless of the sell.
Steelers played back to back classic playoff games
Another sign that the Steelers play down to their competition to lose in OT.
Also, RIP Steve McNair
R.I.P. Steve McNair. We still miss you!
You cut out the replay of james farrior landing right on his head!
The Titans played good Football.
Everybody feared playing the titans in the early 2000s didn’t matter who u were, if your team had to play them u knew things might not go very well
Back when Jeff Fisher could coach
All time classic!
Loved this game!
Classic games 💯 Do you have any Raider games in HD from 2002 ?
What did thigh pads and knee pads have to do with the Burress injury ?
At that time, i thought Fisher was the best coach besides Belichick. I could not have been more wrong... RiP Steve McNair
I remember wanting him to coach my Redskins at one point. Even when the Titans didn't make the playoffs, he at least had them in contention for the most part. I don't know what happened.

@@Lucasindahouse he relied on raw emotion and motivation towards his players to win games and be a great coach
He was hired to keep the rams in mediocrity so they could leave St Louis. But yeah he was good in the late 90s early mid 2000s
The best Titans game of 2002
Good thing James Farrior was out for one play because his backup (#95, Mike Jones) got chop blocked and hurt his knee. These days Farrior would've been out for more than a play as it really shows how much things have changed.
This loss hurt so much
Jeff Fisher will be coach of Michigan in the upcoming USFL 2022
You got 2 HOF Running Backs Eddie George and Jerome Bettis having bad days. One thing I hate about Old Football; its almost impossible to find great teams running it well against eachother, like a duel of 120 v 120 rushing yards. Esp in the playoffs.
Eddie George wasn’t good enough to be a Hall of Famer.
Eddie George will never make HOF
#20 Washington cost them the game twice in OT... missed tackle, then running into kicker...
Talk about a real qb this guy played with cracked ribs hamstring injury all
Anyone know the time where eddie george got ko'd by hampton.?
58:25
Maddox blew it. The final set of downs for the Steelers in the 4th quarter were proof of that. He missed wide open guys because his arm strength was nonexistent.
R.I.P McNair
Can you upload 2003 Monday Night Football games with intros Rams vs Falcons & Dolphins vs Chargers
Bill Cowher would pitch a fit on obvious penalties called
Looks like 2009
I miss those Titans uniforms
Dick Endberg actually thought Wychek was gonna hustle home to watch the Eagles
Plaxico was a great receiver
Nedney FLOPPED!!!!!
ran into the kicker regardless. The call was correct
Not even a Steelers fan but this was robbery
How was it robbery? The call was right. He was ran into, the acting didn't matter. In fact the acting DIDN'T work, if it had, it would've gotten them roughing instead. He was ran into, that's illegal...regardless of the selling
If Pittsburgh doesn’t lose this game, they aren’t able to draft Polamalu
The Casey Hampton hit on George was helmet to helmet should have been 15 yard penalty and Titans ball
@Chris Spearlune • If that play occurred in 2022 probably, but that play occurred in 2002, 20 years earlier and it was a LEGAL HIT
Casey Hampton was a beast, the original butt fumble 32:31

2:18:06
I don't think he even touched him. One of the worst calls in History.
It was a good call. He did a great job acting but contacting the kicker is a penalty and that’s the rule.
Jeff Fisher looks like he needs to go to counseling for chronic depression.
jericho green
Steelers should have won this game but Raiders would have destroyed them
Steelers should have won this game.
If steelers won, they wouldn’t have been able to pick polamalu

WORST CALL EVER WHAT A FLOP REF WAS 75 YEARS OLD NEEDS HIS EYES CHECKED
running into the kicker = correct call. he tried to get roughing the kicker, which he didn’t get called
@@lancesilvis4085 FLOP
Ron Blum called it correctly, although had shakey performences in this game and 2003 season leading to his demotion.
B squared
McNair had too good looking of a wife to cheat on her. It cost him his life too
what the fuck are you talking about? That isn't even remotely what happened. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to come and here and talk down McNair, trying to dishonor his legacy. Yes he had a mistress, yes he had an affair. The Murder Suicide had nothing to do with his wife though. It was clearly premeditated by the woman he was seeing, and the gun she bought was by someone she knew indicating a motive and conspiring together by the two.
