That tackle by Ben one of the clutchest plays in nfl history.
I was a teenager and didn't truly appreciate that tackle until years later. All I remembered was how stupidly unlikely a reliable kicker missing that field goal in perfect conditions was. I bet if Vanderjagt kicks that ball ten more times, he makes 10/10.
@@nahor88 come playoff time, Vanderjagt was reliable to miss. He choked against Miami, he missed a few against the Patriots and Jets in games that mattered. Complete choker, this miss was predictable despite being in a dome. He wasn't even close.
Agreed, he was automatic in the regular season. Once playoffs came he was trash. Peyton might’ve had another ring if it wasn’t for him
Being 12 years old, this game was when i fell in love with football
Oh wow. I was also 12 years old when this happened. Oh how the mid 2000s were the start of something special with Pittsburgh sports.
Coming in as another person only 12 then lol
Young dumb and full of protein!
Si pues
I was the sane age at this time
The Bus fumbled the ball 28 times in 2683 rushing attempts in his career with the Steelers, this corresponds to an average 1 fumble per 95,8 carries.
Emmitt Smith fumbled the ball 55 times in 4052 attempts by Dallas = 1 fumble per 73,6 carries.
Barry Sanders had 41 fumbles in 3062 attempts = 1 fumble per 74,6 carries.
--> The Colts were lucky to even had the chance to kick that FG.
Lets not forget that Polumalu did intercept that pass as well. Also the Refs gave Manning a generous spot that saved a safety.
You call it luck, I call it an amazing defensive play.
@@jspro100 he was tackled at the 2, not even close to a safety, what’re you smoking?
2:18 should’ve been a face mask on Troy, which would’ve led to a TD instead of a field goal. We can sit here and say “what if” and “that was luck” all day.
@@hops1116 my man. His knee was down at the 1/4 yard line with the ball facing the goal line. It might not have been a safety but that definetly isn't the '2 yard line'.
As Steelers fans, when Ben has an off year let's always appreciate that he saved bettis legacy, imagine if we remembered bettis last play as this fumble instead of him winning the super bowl in his hometown. I went to the parade in Pittsburgh and met his parents and later met him and its awesome he got to go out like that so we need to thank Ben
The Football Gods were on his side. How else can you explain this happening before the Super Bowl in his hometown?? Seattle fans are still bitter about that one
Was this the year they won the superbowl or the year before? P.s. seattle and steelers fan here lol
@@chippym1070 the year they beat Seattle, super bowl XL(40)
Agree. Big Ben made us contenders & always gave us the best chance to win for many years. Also Big Ben’s podcast is excellent. Really shows the human side of everyone. He had Coach Tomlin on recently.
Will never forget this game, was only 8 years old watching with my Dad in the living room. That team was special & to watch that game live was too.
As shocking as this upset may have seemed to many at the time...it’s also easy to forget that this same Pittsburgh team went 15-1 the previous season and was full of playoff-tested players who played an extremely physical brand of football that travels well in ANY condition.
One of my favorite Football games ever. Really defined a new era of Steelers Football. The Steelers had been conservative offensively for ages and they came out guns blazing against the favored team. I think Heath Miller became a Steeler legend in this game. The era of Big Ben really started on this game. That defense had a couple of horrible calls against them but they were in Manning's face all day. That fumble though.... I'll never forget my Dad yelling at the TV at the top of his lungs. I was trying to calm the troops in our house to stay calm bc things were probably going to OT. But he missed it... and the rest was history.
Damn if Harper went to the outside he could of taken it to the house
I KNOW
His gf stabbed him. He had stitches in that same leg he got caught on.
@@SJSWizard She didn’t stab the bitch in the brain.
The knee was fine. The brain failed miserably.
@@sludge4125 c'mon bro😢😢😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@seanwilson8168 I’m not asking you, I’m telling you; kick my ass.
Man what a game & what a season that year. Was so much fun with loads of adrenaline pumping.
The memories. One of the best games I have ever seen
How that wasn't a Troy Polamalu interception is beyond me.
I’m a colts fan and I’ll even tell you that was a pick. I was 11 when I watched this and I’ll never forget crying myself to sleep that night lol.
The NFL admitted it was an interception and issued a formal apology.
The refs cheated, and the colts still lost
I got just as nervous watching these highlights as I did 15 years ago.
Brian McFadden doesn't get enough credit for the job he did on Wayne that game.
Steelers deserved to win, but I'll never understand why Harper doesn't just run by Ben instead of cutting back into him, which got him tripped.
His wife had stabbed him in the knee the night before the game. He was most-likely a bit gimpy.
@@MrMeraby I read something about that. Very fucked up.
if you look at the replay, Ben was initially running to the outside as was Harper, so Harper cut back in just as Ben did in a last second twist. This happens all the time in tight spaces when two people can't decide with direction to walk by a person and they each choose the same path inadvertantly.
I was looking for this comment.. if he had just took it down the side line he most likely would have scored cause he had all of his blockers in front of him
When you’re in the heat of the moment, you don’t have the perspective the spectators or other fans do
"How happy are the fans in Denver that they get to host the AFC Championship Game?" After 30:00 I think that feeling wore off 😂😂😂
Little did they know...
We would have been ok if we had Tebow for that game
@@flash012234 no, this was a much different defense than what Tebow faced in 2011, it was younger and could move around more
4:12
Fun fact: the NFL later wrote a written apology to the Steelers for wrongfully overturning this interception
Worst call ever!! Absolute bullshit!!!
game wouldve been over.....
This is 2000's era football at its best. Big time players all over this game.
that tackle was the best play of Big Bens career
Still don’t understand how the Troy INT was an incomplete pass
The refs messed up & admitted it later.
Pittsburgh revenge tour in the 2005 NFL playoffs
Beating Cincinnati
Beating Indianapolis "the immaculate redemption" Thank you Ben Rothesliberger
Beating Denver AFC Championship game
Beat Seattle Super Bowl 40 Jerome Bettis last game
Julian Smith Then losing Antonio Brown
@@notthatboyagain6616 14 years later but yeah
When your born in Indianapolis but now live in Pittsburgh
This game was a win win for you then 😂
People talk about Ben’s tackle (which was amazing), but how bout McFadden breaking up that pass from Reggie Wayne. If he doesn’t get a hand on that it’s a TD and the Steelers lose that game
Gotta love the 05 Steelers
This would end up being the last game for Edgerrin James and Mike Vanderjagt as Colts players.
Useless info
Big Ben's Hustle.... never give up on a play, every yard counts!!!
I was 10 years old when this game happened. Even at 10 years old, my heart never raced that fast.
I remember watching this in Fort Bliss, TX when I was in my MOS school. I was at the base PX and there were Pitt and Colts fans gathered around a TV…I was in there and when the fumble happened every colt fan went nuts. Then the field goal was missed and every Pitt fan (myself included) went even more nuts…I think a fight broke out after lol
Man I remember watching this game live. What a great game! I remember I thought it was over so many times on that game for both teams. I forgot how much heart they played in that game.
This Steeler teams from 2005-2011 was such an awesome team to watch. I got to witness us get to three super bowls in my life time, and cried when Aaron Rodgers handed us an L 😢
This was the best colts team in franchise history. We just blew this game. It shouldn’t have ever even came down to a kick.
This and the 2009 team
This is the best football game I've ever watched. It's the only game my wife, as a casual fan, can remember. And she does to this day.
As a Steelers fan, and knowing this guy not long before this went 37 for 37 for field goals a year or two before, me and the whole Steelers watch party were all huddled together waiting for the field goal. As soon as it came off his foot we all jumped for joy. Mike Vanderjagt had the best season a kicker could possibly have in 2003 with 37 for 37 in field goals and 46 for 46 on extra points. Then he also did this. The highest high to the absolute lowest low. If I remember correctly this kick got him cut😂
Ben Roethlisberger saved Pittsburgh and it’s underrated
All the Big Ben detractors chew on this for a while. All-time leaders in pick sixes: 1- B. Favre 31. 2- D. Marino 29. 3- J. Namath 28. 4- P. Manning 27. 4- D. Brees 27. 6- P. Rivers 25. Big Ben? 17, one more than Brady. All-time leaders in 4th Qtr comebacks: 1- P. Manning 43. 2- T. Brady 40. 3- Big Ben 36. 4- D. Brees 36. A. Rodgers? 48th with 17. Most all-time wins with a perfect passer rating OR 500 yds passing & zero Ints.: 1- Big Ben 7. 2- P. Manning 4.
What a difference a year makes.
Last year Big Ben was VERY shaky in the divisional playoffs vs the Jets.
Here? Anything but
I think he hit the proverbial rookie wall.
This was arguably the best Colts team of the Peyton era.
Agreed. And for Peyton Manning's entire career, being with both the Colts and Broncos, the 2005 Colts, 2013 Broncos, and 2007 Colts were the best teams he ever had.
How none of those 3 teams won a Superbowl is beyond baffling and are all just head scratchers.
This was probably one of the most dominant football teams I've ever seen.
This and the 2009 team
This is the game that crushed me as a kid like had the whole family cry lmao 😂 toughest loss I’ve ever seen this and the chargers 😢
One of the greatest games ever played
I don't get how this game is randomly in extremely high quality while all of the other 2005 games still look a bit fuzzy
6:59 Mike Vanderjagt's last kick as a colt's for a long time 😂
Legend and has it the ball has still not touched the ground
Considering at that point he was the most accurate kicker in NFL history, and had only missed one kick at home in 2 years, and none from this range….and he missed this by a country mile, it wouldn’t shock me if on his deathbed he admitted he missed on purpose.
@@PhilAndersonOutside Had to
Dick Enberg was such an amazing broadcaster.
Yes he was. May he Rest in Peace!!
@@aaronjackson9385 I loved the passion and excitement he brought when he called a game.
@@dwissba68 likewise. He made you feel the impprtance with each playcall. I recently rewatched the 2005 AFC Divisional Game between Pitasburgh and Indy. Dick Enberg and Dan Dierdorff did a superb job. Made me so nostalgic.
*Importance*
@@aaronjackson9385 I remember that game it was a nail-biter. The way Dick Enburg called a game and that game in particular made you feel like you were in the stands with everyone else.
If he never cuts back it’s a scoop and score all day… He would have easily outrun Ben and no one was catching him from behind… I’m a Steeler fan and to this day I have always wondered what he was thinking ??? 🤷♂️💪🏈🔥
That's all I kept saying watching it live during the replay. Just stay to the fucking outside
The colts had a 99 yard scoop and score if they just would have went to the right down the sideline
I really miss Bill Cowher
I remember having so much fun watching this game
Stars all over the field that day. I remember being intrigued by the elite TE battle between Heath Miller and Dallas Clarke
The safety, the Polamalu INT when Pittsburgh was up big, Vegas was always making calls.
So glad Ben got that tackle for Bus. Great times.
This is when the rules were terrible.. that polomalu incomplete call had my family heated
This is the game I fell in love with football
Pittsburgh vs Chiefs the same story Sunday night
Ben making the shoe string tackle was karma for the bad calls on the safety and interception
6:42 cmon Peyton, Dallas was wide open
Refs did a lot to make this a game
Pittsburgh Steelers player number 7 QB Big Ben's postseason coming out party!!! 🖤💛💯🖤💛
Most insane fucking game i have ever seen
Dallas Clark is in the touchdown Garage again!!!!! Woot woot
If Ben doesn't make that tackle. This would have haunted the Bettis, Cowher, and the Steelers forever. Forget about Earnest Byner, this would have been ten times as worse as the Steelers were winning the game. Luckily Vander suck choked in these big games and badly missed the field goal.
Steelers’ 2nd-quarter goal-line stand was a big deal in foiling the Colts’ comeback chances
“How happy are the fans in Denver” lmao
First game I ever went to sat up in the nosebleeds right in front of the Jumbotron shits still wild
This was the absolute end of Mike vanderjat
I was 13 sitting in front of the TV by myself watching this game
Big Steelers Fan Here I Thought The Colts Were Going To Comeback And Win But Lucky Vanderjack Missed That Field Goal At The End !!!
People may not know but I think it was just a few days prior to this game, Nick Harper’s girlfriend/wife stabbed him in his leg with a knife. May have played a factor in him not running it back for a TD after the fumble. Watched this game live on TV as a kid and I’m still pissed we lost
I had to run the highlights back 🔥
Damn, that kicker choked that kick bad
The last 2 minutes were the ultimate choke off
Why didn't he just run outside
A helluva fourth quarter.
Hindsight is 20-20, but Ben could've ran a bootleg untouched around the left side...
16 Years Ago
I know he ended up missing the field goal but there were chances at the end to get it closer
Manning had a lot of blown plays in the playoffs in the early 2000’s. He had Clark wide open for about a 10-15 yard gain and instead threw a prayer to the endzone. Same on the other two downs. Peyton is still my favorite Colt of all time though.
They should of handed it to Edgerrin James to get two more yards and a new set of downs and call a timeout.
Jerome Bettis said on the sideline right after that fumble that the Steelers could still win the game
Now that I’m looking at it again why didn’t he just run to the outside…
The downfall of Mike Vanderjagt
man i miss bill cowher and the old team!!
Here's my application 😊
Cheat that. I'll never forget this game, them replaying Dungey, Manning, and Cowher all mouthing he missed it
Bettis fumbled the ball on the one yard line that damn near cost the the Steelers the game. Luckily ben tackled the runner + the chip shot missed FG by Indy that would of tied game & sent it to OT. Pittsburgh definitely dodged a bullet.
Refs cheated a lot for the indy this day. Just not quite enough
Not really if u pay attention aløtta flags were called or touchdowns cuz when Edgerrin James caught that ball on the goaline that was a TD but the colts won it the next year so hey Peyton doesn't have to retire empty handed
Vanderjerk is his last name in my opinion 😂
Why do people act as if Roethlisberger made this Herculean unbelievable game saving tackle?? If Harper continues to the outside, he’s gone! But he turns back inside making a b-line towards Ben as if to say “here I am.....Tackle me”!
You know nick harper got stabbed in the leg by his girlfriend the night before that game .. he wasn’t even supposed to play but decided to play .. look it up
Yeah and if the refs were honest and not overturned that INT, the Colts wouldn’t have gotten back in the game.
@@jonahmosher3024 Yup, you’re right. I agree..... And I’m SO GLAD you said that, because if the refs wanted to be honest throughout the entire game of Super Bowl 40 also, then the Seahawks would be Super Bowl 40 champions, and not Pittsburgh!!
Scott David Stop it. You realize that Troy had a fumble recovery taken away from him in that super bowl right. Stevens clearly fumbled the ball and it was as recovered by the Steelers. Possession was given back to Seattle and they later scored their only TD.
@@jonahmosher3314 Stop your freaking nonsense! If you truly believe that Seattle wasn’t screwed over every way possible in that Super Bowl then that means you are either a Steelers fan or a Seahawks hater (if not both)!
Who’s here before the game tomorrow? #herewego
The refs really did their best to help the colts by acting like that wasn’t an interception by Polamalu. Bro caught it and got up off the ground ready to take it to for 6 and got a lil too excited, but doesn’t matter. We won anyways.
Pete Morelli
Never forgive
Never forget
"The defender caught the ball. Lost it prior to getting his knee off the ground, therefore it is an incomplete pass." To this day I will say that official was trying to cheat because that is the dumbest garbage I've ever heard spill out of an officials mouth.
7:00 was justice for the robbery that occurred at 6:52.
How did he get robbed? It hit the ground
@@hops1116 Wrong time stamp.
Troy Polamalu had an interception during that drive. Called an interception on the field. Then reversed despite him clearly picking it off. I guess that's not in this video.
Colts should’ve won it all this year
The most I have ever bet on a football game was $50. I only did it once my whole life. I lost the bet. I took the colts.
Vanderjagt is the best kicker of all time. Cost Manning at least two rings.
Colts came way too overconfident in this game everyone in the world and CBS picked the Colts to dominate and win it all but Varderchoke did his thing as always, the Steelers defense was on fire this game this should of never been close as it was should of been a 21-10 victory especially after that Troy INT but refs did everything to help the Colts come back and they almost succeeded but the Colts had a choke liquored up artist and they gladly cut him and got the most clutch kicker in that time in Vinateri
Jerome was a terrible fullback..the rams did themselves a great move sending him packing
If that DB didn't get stabbed in the leg he runs it back for the win
Literally on almost every play they get something wrong on the call even if its just minor but Jesus christ they sucked at calling games. You see whats happening and its like they're calling a different game at some points
By today's rules Polamalu would've gotten that interception
2:18 should’ve been a face mask on him, which would’ve led to a TD instead of a field goal. We can sit here and say “what if” all day.
@@hops1116 wasn't saying what if. Was simply stating that based on the rules today it would've been ruled an interception. But buddy I wouldn't change a thing about how this one happened ;). Don't make me come pinch ur cheeks u lil troll
Bettis
FUMBLED THE BALL!
PICKED UP BY NICK HARPER!
OH MY HARPER WITH ROTHENSBURGER TO BEAT!
ROTHENSBURGER MAKES THE TACKLE!
And then we went on to kick "lucky" Denver's ass. Lol
Elbow should have had Pou down.
Wow what a great fuckin game!!!!!
Steelers should’ve just took a knee when they got the ball back. Would’ve gave me less of a heart attack.
