- In the 2000 NFL playoffs, the Tennessee Titans hosted the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional. This game would be the 3rd installment in the season between these two rivals. This match was hyped up, in particular because of the 1 on 1 battle between linebacker Ray Lewis and running back Eddie George.

I recently found your channel. And I love it. I listened to your videos at work the other day and time flew bye. That’s MVP shit! Appreciate ya!
Titans will win super bowl 56 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
Ray’s int off of the Eddie George tip is iconic.
I was there never in my life have I heard the stadium that quiet
@@deandreray3500 sounds amazing for Ravens fans!
@@Eli-ss9gj even they were in shock until he scored
Ravens fan here…..I was at that game in Nashville and Jeff Fishers pregame Sports Illustrated BS pissed the Ravens off…..and by the end of the game it was very quiet…..and there were only Ravens fans downtown after the game……
Glad the ravens vs titans rivalry is back and physical like the 2000's
I would say the rivalry is more personal than physical, but this new revival definitely has its own world of hurt. The Ravens have a good number of these rivalries. The Steelers, the Titans, and more recently, the Browns and Chiefs. Everybody’s out for Raven blood...
@@patrickchaney well said
@@patrickchaney and patriots
@@patrickchaney Can’t have a rivalry with chiefs if Lamar can’t beat them
Fuck the ravens
Titans fan here……
Not going to lie, that playoff lose is still talked about in Nashville sports talk radio.
It still hurts…….
This playoff loss is still talked about in Nashville 20+ years later?
@@Eli-ss9gj yep we continually blame the ravens for always stopping our best teams and always at home the rivalry is actually fairly commonly destroys the hone team’s playoff runs
@@brycehoward4139 tbf the fact that the Titans have hardly done anything otherwise must mean that they weren’t as good as they thought they were...
The Titans had a great team that year and most likely would have gone on to win the Super Bowl had they prevailed here; this was the real Super Bowl that season as in the game played between the two best actual teams down the stretch. They just happened to meet in the divisional round. Tennessee controlled much of the game but Baltimore came up with the momentum changing plays at the right time. I don't know that you'll ever see a playoff game played again between two so highly ranked historically great defenses; both defenses by the numbers and adjusted for era rank in the top 10 at worst, with Baltimore being in the reasonable conversation for best defense in NFL history. It's a shame that people don't recognize this Titans team because of the one-and-done playoff appearance; probably the best Titan team that there was, I'd say better than the one that lost to the Rams in the Super Bowl two years prior.
@@Eli-ss9gj titans have done a lot in fact in the 2004 playoffs titans beat the ravens in Baltimore they beat the Steelers in the playoffs also. 1999 jaguars only lost 2 games that season and 1 in playoffs and every lost was to the titans. Until this year the titans made it to playoffs 7-8 years in a row. They are also 3rd in winning the past 4 years. They done alot but no matter how good they are they still haven’t won a superbowl
Thank you for doing this rivalry it doesn't get enough love and when it does alot of people don't talk about the 2000 match ups
yeah i know.. we just so used to the new divisions
The most underrated rivalry in the league by far 🔥💯
By miles
If that ravens team had a good offense like most teams did back in them years 😳 probably would have won more than that 1 in 2000/2001
for sure. that defense carried trent dilfer to a SB
FACTS
06’ we should’ve won a ring but McNair got hurt and fell apart physically.
Facts
@@ClasherSports imagine Trent Dilfer having a Superbowl but Dan Marino nor Rivers have one lol
The Steelers are our biggest rivals but god damn do the titans get me edgier during games lmao.
Lol
Man I love our rivalry though. Such a great one. Ready to meet again! Titan up!
We coming for that logo again⚔
Steelers are better rivals. That being said, these dudes have been pissing me tf off
@@CurtDaniel1000 can’t wait! #TitanDown
Ray Lewis Greatest MLB of all time
Man, I'm just pausing this 2.5 minutes in to say how much I'm enjoying it and I don't want it to end. That interview clip with Ray Lewis just puts you right in the field ready to ride or die... goosebumps!
ravens fan?
@@ClasherSports Lol, not even close, I'm with The Hooded One up north in NE! But Lewis was in a class of his own, just draws you right in ready to run through walls when you see what he did to opponents on the field... Good times.
oh really.. i got a lot of those vids from your team coming soon.. actually.. was gonna feature the rivalry with the Ravens... those were good battles
@@ClasherSports Bring it on my man, this is why I'm so glad I subbed!! 👍👍
Another rivalry im seeing is saints vs vikings, bounty gate, these past play off games, and more
Oh yeah Saints vs Vikings is real after back to back upsets in the playoffs
as a Saints fan... I only see Vikes as a playoff kryptonite.... not a rival... well maybe coach wise.. even then it kind of looks one sided rivalry from zimmer toward peyton and vike fans toward saints.
maybe thats why we have a hard time beating them.. lol
Fax God will neva let us get over bounty gate😂😂😂😂😂
@@maseonten2578 not god the nfl and refs.
Very underrated rival. When you think of the Ravens, you think of Pittsburgh, New England and even Cincinnati. But Tennessee has always played the Ravens in big games over the years.
Die hard Titans fan here,I actually seen that Ravens defense they are the best defense of all time in my opinion and it actually started in the regular season
Get past the 85 bears D. While I respect the ravens D, definitely top 3, that 85 Bears are the 🐐
@@RonMessico who's your top 3 defense all-time.
@@jaylowery6993 85 bears, 86 giants, then the ravens…
@@RonMessico 86 Giants are not better than those Ravens lol
@@RonMessico can’t put non SB winning Defenses ahead of the ravens 😂 can’t say another team had a shit offense cuz the 2000s ravens had one of the worst 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for putting this game into perspective. My grandfather got me into football and loved Steve McNair cause they went to the same college. Easily the greatest HBCU player of all time. I always wondered why he didnt like the Ravens and this explains it, he had to be super hype for the Titans this season and we were Bears fans
its funny how steve and a couple other titans from that team went on to play in baltimore for a couple seasons.. im gonna be doing another video taking a deeper looking into this rivlary.. stay tuned my friend
@@ClasherSports Will do! Yeah Derek Mason was one. The late 90s to early 2000s titans are def overlooked
@@effingel I live hbcu football and graduated from one. Mississippi Valley State University, home of Jerry Rice. And you say Steve Mac is the best hbcu player ever?? Cmon now. Also, life long Redskins/Commanders fan here.....Grambling had this dude named Doug Williams.........there may be debate as to Steve having a better career, but, I am not so sure. Can we say better than Walter Payton, who also went to a hbcu.
Maybe you should have said quarterback instead of player. Ever heard of Micheal Strahan?
And I just named some greats from the southwest athletic conference, other guys out there like Larry Little from Bethune-Cookman college.
Try best at position instead of saying overall.
Now we have a sequel to this good old 2000s rivalry. I can't wait for Titans Ravens matchups
this is gold... I was too young to see how the rivalry first started (my first game was the divisional playoffs won during the first SB season)
I'm gonna do another vid on this rivalry .. more in depth.. this vid was just bout the 2000 afc divisional game..
@@ClasherSports Awesome! looking forward to it
@@TheBradleyBliss How old were you in 2000?
@@marquisgray4216 13. I didn't know much about football at the time but I did win a bet against this dude online. I just bet on The Ravens because I was from Baltimore lol.. Couldn't have been much money back then but I still won my first bet blindly. (Also people thought I was a dumb kid for thinking Ravens could beat the Titans and that they could beat Rich Gannon the week after)
@@TheBradleyBliss damn 13? I'm 26
Steelers like “Am I A Fucken Joke To You😐”
Great video the playoff game last year was crazy
yeah .. really enjoying to watch those 2 teams slug it out
Del Greco's kicking was a huge reason the Ravens won both games in Tennessee.
In Week 11 he missed an extra point that would've put the Titans up 24-17. And after the Ravens had gone down the field and took the lead. He missed the GW FG.
And in the Divisional Round he missed a FG. And had two blocked, one that was returned for a Ravens TD.
That's 5 Kicks that he missed and had he made them, the Titans would've likely won all 3 games.
The rivalry also spawned off of the old AFC Central division rivalry between the Cleveland Browns and Houston Oilers (Which started when the NFL merged with the AFL in 1970 but didn't become a massive rivalry until the late 1980s with Jerry Glanville and the late, great, Marty Schottenheimer) and because both of those franchises relocated in the late 1990s the Ravens and Titans were in the AFC Central division until the realignment in 2002 when it was split into the AFC Northern and AFC Southern divisions
As a Titans fan, I did not expect to experience this level of PTSD after this much time.
I was around for the steelers and ravens but titans vs ravens i remember that pick 6 by ray and him hushing the crowd... i like rivalries like this i was telling the titans to get off the field but also happy titans and ravens renew a old rivalry for a new generation
As a titans fan this was a very indepth and detailed video! 👍
more videos coming on this rivalry .. stay tuned #titansup
Nice! First NFL game, hated Baltimore ever since. 09 playoffs reignited it and now here we are!
IM SO GLAD YOU THREW IN THA CLIP OF BRIAN BILLICK YEALLING "FUCK YOU" TO THE TITANS SIDELINE AFTER JAMALS TD. it was a core memory as a child when me and my dad saw it live my dad pointed it out and laughed. this just gave me goosebumps and helped enhance my love for football due to the intensity and realness
That's why our Baltimore Defense won our championship that 2000 year. GO RAVENS!
This Tennessee vs Ravens really shows defense wins games!! Ravens won this year and they had the better defense, titans won last year and their defense played better! As a titans fan I’m excited for this rivalry this year!
I’ll never forget that 2000 ravens defense/playoffs! Ray vs Eddie was Ali vs Frazier. 2 gladiators trading blows every round every match. Back when it was real football! Great video bro!
One of my favorites matchup against the Titians was the 2001, Week 9, The Ravens vs Titans MNF. That had a crazy ending and it's basically forgotten about.
I remember that MNF game , goal line stand g Ravens
gonna be doing a deeper dive into this rivalry soon.. stay tuned
@@ClasherSports Looking forward to it! I stopped this video so many times just to stare at all the great photos that I had never seen before.
Eddie George and Ray Lewis going head to head was my favorite. They gave no fucks
that videos coming shortly.. that was a real stiff arm
Three years later, the Titans beat the Ravens at Baltimore in the AFC Wildcard round of the playoffs by a score of 20-17. They currently stand at 2-2 in playoff appearances against each other. Interestingly, the teams have lost every playoff home game they've had against each other.
3-2 Ravens*
Seems like in the playoffs, if you'rea fan of either team you just want your team to be the road team in this matchup.
Ravens have two SB wins. Titans/Oilers have none.
I'm a Titans fan who grew up n Maryland and was at that game. Eddie dislocated his shoulder in the first half but popped that shit back in and ran for like 60 yards in the 2nd half. I had a chance at a free ticket from my uncle who had Ravens season tickets but he wouldn't let me wear Titans gear... So I bought 4 tickets and went with friends lol.
@@Eli-ss9gj don't forget the home team has never won in all 5 playoff games.
I will never forget where I was when Ray Lewis took that ball away from Eddie George to seal the game. No words to describe it except cloud 9
I was only 3, so too young to remember, but I bet every Raven fan knew that that was the dagger.
Where were you?!?
Thank for highlighting this Ravens vs Titans rivalry!
Every time they saw each other in the playoffs, the road team won that game! 💪🏼🏈#KnowMyHistory
Steve then went on to play for the Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have been a great dancing partners in the NFL. Having multiple rivalries. The Ravens vs Browns MNF was a classic matchup this season. Steelers vs Ravens, Ravens vs Titans, Ravens vs Patriots and now Ravens vs Chiefs.
Good teams tend to have multiple rivals. Seems like we fall in that category.
The Ravens have nothing on the Chiefs as far as rivalry. They’ve only lost three consecutive times
@@mauricescribner7025 Chiefs became relevant 2 years ago. The Ravens have always been relevant. The Ravens will beat the Chiefs sooner than later.
nice video, if I'm not mistaken that playoff run was the Ravens first trip to the playoffs ever & they won it all too! Not many franchises can say they won the top league championship in any sport in there first playoff run, Titans vs Ravens is a great rivalry
We 2-0 we don’t lose championships 💪🏾
@@darriuss4574 true, but don’t jinx it!
Great fucking video as always. Great moment in sports history right here. MAN. Those were GREAT games. I had an eddie george jersey for the oilers AND the titans because he was a BUCKEYE BABY!!! 💯💯💯💯✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Great video! Absolutely love this rivalry and it is a shame they don’t play in the regular season this year!
glad you enjoyed. ill be doing a deeper dive into this rivalry soon - stay tuned
C-Mac never knew when to shut-up.
Great Video
People forget that the Ravens and Titans were #1 and #2 in defense. In 2000 and 2001
i didnt know about 2001...
2001 the titans defense was horrible.
Another bangerrrr!
Great memories....
Damn Ravens really gave Derrick Henry the Eddie George treatment this last season
Let's not forget what they did to Chris Johnson in the 2008 wild card game. CJ was running wild on them until they bent him backwards after the whistle and he was out the rest of the game.
@@ItsJoshuaTod idk I always thought Reed was just tryna stop CJ’s forward progress
You should make a Steelers vs Ravens video, huge rivalry especially in the mid-late 2000s
Those where the days love watching Those match ups
I have a feeling that these two teams will be in the AFC championship this year
With King Henry now a Raven,this rivalry is right back where it's supposed to be... blood n guts baby
Should have done Tennessee/Jacksonville first especially when the Titans beat the Jaguars 3 times in the '99 season en route to the SB 33 to face the Rams.
im going to be doing the ravens vs titans a bit more in depth from 00-03... maybe ill look into that vs jax afterwards
@@ClasherSports ok.
MAN I MISS THESE DAYS
games like this made me an ass at ravens games in my youth...last time i went to a playoff game (Chargers at Ravens) my clearest memory is having a great time with a chargers fan...and the ravens lost...we shook hands and i was happy for HIM...get over it, its a game.
I never realized until last Year we do have history with each other and we are Rivals with them Damn Ravens usually getting the best of us. That's why everytime we beat them "It Feels So Damn Good."
NOTI GANG WHERE YOU AT!?!?!?!
I wish they would of added the ravens to our schedule since they added a regular season game... I love seeing this rivalry get reignited.. #TitanUp 🏈
It's also crazy that the Home team has never won in their 5 playoff meetings.
Great video and rivalry love watching as a kid back then and evening now titans vs ravens.
Also what you left out, that home lose during the season, was the first home lose at that stadium.
Titans fan here. I personally feel a stronger rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers than I do with the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars, mainly because of the old AFC Central days. Here are some other notable previous exchanges between the Titans and Ravens (at least from my vantage point and my faulty memory):
- In 2003/04, during McNair's only MVP season, the Titans ended the Ravens season in the Wild Card round after Baltimore won 5 of their last 6 games of the regular season and felt like they were building steam toward a deep playoff run.
- In 2005, Derrick Mason left the Titans after several spectacular seasons. He had 30 other teams he could've went to, but of all teams, he went to Baltimore. When he retired, he signed a one-day contract with Baltimore to retire a Raven.
- Steve McNair, a QB I'd argue should be in the HoF, went with Derrick in 2005 to Baltimore. This was a pretty big deal at the time, as the division realignment happened only a few years prior - many fans felt betrayed.
- Lastly, Samari Rolle, a prominent member of our playoff defenses of the early 2000s, also left for Baltimore in 2005. If anyone out there has any insights as to why so many high-profile titans went to Baltimore in 2005, I'd love to hear why.
- In 2008/09, Tennessee had one of their most dominant seasons since the move to Nashville, starting 10-0 and finishing the season 13-3. They were favorites to go to and win the Super Bowl and had earned a first round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. In the divisional game against Baltimore, the Titans got absolutely blown up. This loss basically led to an implosion and loss of identity for the Titans that put us in the AFC basement for nearly the next decade.
- And, of course, the games from the last few years, with the teams trading regular season and playoff wins pretty regularly.
I hope to see more of this in the future.
I lived that game as a titans fan and it's still the worse loss I've ever seen.
Slight correction, we were not an expansion team. We just left the Browns name in Cleveland and renamed the team
yeah i know ... and thats why i left the clip of art modell as he left cle... but baltimore is labelled as an expansion team because they left the name and history back in cleveland
It's so funny to realize the browns might have Lamar Jackson and the rest and the Ravens might have baker and the rest Because the Raven probably would have gotten a expansion team anyways and the browns would have stayed in Cleveland
@@ClasherSports but was it an expansion team? I think they just were a new organization the same thing happened with the hornets and pelicans in nba
Easily the best rivalry in football
Definitely not, especially when you consider Ravens-Steelers
@@Eli-ss9gj both are great
@@lordhave4420 for sure. Just don’t think this is the absolute best
Can someone please tell me where that beat comes from in the background, in the beginning?
Love your content. Just subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Ravens vs anyone back then was a heated rivalry.
Indeed
People just loved beefing with us lmao
Correction the Houston Oilers came into the existence in 1960. The NFL AFL Merger added them and the rest of the 9 AFL teams into the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE IN
yeah i said the oilers were apart of the NFL since 1970 after the AFL NFL merger
Yk it’s a good rivalry still when the fans are so into it too. I hate the Ravens but our rivalry is aweslme
How were the Ravens an expansion team? They were the relocated Browns. You could argue the present day Browns are an expansion team, and played like it for most of their history
because the city made owner Art Modell leave behind the teams name and history... the ravens were considered an expansion team
Greatest defense ever. No doubt
except for 2007 ... uploading another ravens vid today
One thing that isn’t pointed out much is the fact that there visiting team is almost guaranteed to win when they meet in the playoffs. Idk why the visitor seems to always win but they do
Derrick Henry vs the Ravens defense will have me tuned in in I'm not even a Titans fan
The second regular season matchup of 2000 deserves more coverage also. Hell of a game and it set the stage for the playoff rematch.
Old AFC Central rivals
One of my earliest NFL memories was of Gary Anderson hitting the game winner against Baltimore in the 03 playoffs
wasnt he the same Gary Anderson who cost the Vikings vs Falcons in the 98 NFC Champ?
@@ClasherSports I hate that's all he's remembered for cuz he was one hell of a kicker but yes same guy
@@mattmirelez5121 its a thankless position in football.
No he is not the same guy Gary Anderson hit the game winner for the Titans Morton Anderson missed the kick that would have sent the Falcons to the super bowl Gary and Morton are not related. #TitanUp ⚔️🗡️⚔️
@@chrisarokium5645 idk what you're talking about the Vikings missed a shot at a super bowl in 1998 in part due to a missed field goal by Gary Anderson. They lost to the Falcons in overtime on a field goal and it was Morten Andersen who kicked it
Lmfao I remember that game. Ravens had no business winning that one but their Goat defense wouldn’t let them lose
I remember watching this game I live in Baltimore
What was the city like when we won the SB that year? Heard the celebration was even bigger than the one in 2012
@@Eli-ss9gj buzzing but not in a bad way.
Put Eddie in the Hall already ‼️
Tbh I don’t think his numbers are good enough
@@Eli-ss9gj Only RB with 10k+ rush yds not in the Hall... Consistent Pro Bowler... 2x league leading rusher... crazy nasty stiff arm (lol)... perhaps not the longest career, but his resume speaks for itself...

lol
Lol😂 dolphins and the ravens both had great defenses but got ruined by trash QBs lucky for the ravens their defense carried them to a super bowl
Can you do a video of “up and coming non divisional rivalries” like for example
Ofc Titans vs ravens
Bucs vs rams
Saints vs vikings
Patriots vs chiefs
Etc.
Also keep up the good videos love em👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
i might look into the saints vikings rivalry shortly
@@ClasherSports That one goes way back to the 1987 season (January 3, 1988) playoff game for its origin point. The Vikings season record was misleading because the team lost all three games with the replacement players.
That Joe Flacco playoff game was epic as well.
ravens vs. steelers is by far the most relevant rivalry
That’s what I said too. While this rivalry is cool, it’s just noise compared to that
@@Eli-ss9gj because theyre not in the same division obviously

I personally think the most physical football game in the modern error was the steelers versus the ravens in the 2009 AFC championship game. I personally think the most physical football game in the modern error was the steelers versus the ravens in the 2009 AFC championship game. You had the 2 best defences in the league playing against to team who hate but respect for one another. When these two teams Usually play each other the divisions on the line. But in this game those 2 teams who flat out hated each other were competing for a trip to the Super Bowl. Basically at the end of the day it was going to be the team who just wanted to win more you could have asked for a harder hitting more physical football game in my mind.
2008 AFCCG I think that was. if that was the ryan clark hit game.. yeah that was a brutal game..
Yeah I agree with this. Players from that game ended up in the hospital
I prefer the titans vs ravens rivalry over the ravens vs steelers
Fr? I’d say the other way around
So what was the writing on the wall for the Titans mentioned near the end of the video?
Chris McAllister is underrated
If the the Titans would’ve won this game they probably win the SB and I think ppl would to look at the late Steve “Air” NcNair as a HOFer.
This video was really well made
Still haven't got over this loss
7:30 ray lewis tryna pull McNair closer to him lmao
Wdym? Neither Ray nor McNair was in that clip
TitanUp!⚔️
How tf did you not mention Pittsburgh vs Baltimore?????
Eddie was on the cover of madden if I'm not mistaken... I remember that year. And that's why their still beefing until this day for the past two playoffs game.👀👀
I don’t think The Titans would have gotten past the Raiders the next week. Titans were tough though.
I remember being in the stadium when ray picked it off of Eddie I never heard the stadium that silent like it was when that happen.
I think of the Titans would have won that game the Raiders would have won the Super Bowl that year. 2000 Raiders would have beat the s*** out of the 2000 Titans
Not true at all. Titans were the second best team in the league that year.
Idk. The Titans defense was the 1st ranked in yards allowed that year, and were the 3rd greatest scoring defense in the 16 game era
This game completely changed every titans fans opinion of Del Greco. He was always so clutch and very well regarded. After this game, EVERYONE hated him.
Ravens seemed to be the team that broke him that year. Majority of his misses in 2000 were against them. Del Greco himself stated he was nervous before the playofd game, and when he saw the Ravens would be the team he'd play, he only got more nervous. Ravens got in his head.
good vid, eddie great thou the only person that did shut him down was HOF ray lewis
next one Pats vs Ravens
@@ClasherSports looking forward to that too! That was a great playoff rivalry in the early 2010s
