Same in terms of how vivid it was as memory... I remember passing out from a tough, long, day at work but alter enough to follow the game as I took power naps just in time to see the second half and Dennis Green's epic rant!... Everything I knew about the Bears of that year was confirmed that day.
@@williamherman9065 Eli and the Miracle Giants of 2007 is a contender, and also Touchdown Tom and the 2000's Patriots could also be up there. Other than, that, GOOD LUCK!
I know we all want to dump on Rex, and he played the worst in the Super Bowl! But that season the bears started I think 8-0, or 7-0 and Grossman was leading the league in passing and was being talked about as front runner for League MVP. Their first loss that season was to Miami and he had a terrible second half of the season. But he threw beautiful deep balls, and threw a ton to Bernard Berrian.
R.I.P. Dennis Green. It's a shame that he will be remembered for his post-game meltdown. According to many players, he was a players' coach and he was one of the first African-American coaches in the NFL. May he rest peacefully
I don't think it's unfortunate, that was an epic rant. Everyone wants to be remembered for something, people will be talking about that rant still for decades to come. RIP
Oh man. As a Bears fan it's both such a pleasure to watch this and it's so bitter sweet. God I miss Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, Brown, Harris and the rest of those guys!

Another clutch TD by Mike Brown followed by another sad injury. A little man playing a big man’s game, he was such a beast. Him not being in that Bears secondary in the SB was the difference. Such a fantastic player.
Always been a bitter sweet game for me bc of Browns injury. They lost the super bowl winning this game. Bears defense allowed under 10 points a game with Brown in the lineup from 05-06. And he’d suffer another season ending injury in the very next game he’d play. Sad.

+RandomReviewerBros - Madden Mobile - MOCS - that's not exactly true tho is it. Maybe in the 2005 season but in 2006 their offense was good albeit very inconsistent even with Grossman's tendency to turn the ball over
This was an awesome game. As an 8th grader back in '06 living in Elgin, IL I still remember this game!!! I recall the next day in school being shocked to find out the Bears came back and won. Lots of my classmates were talking about it, and even my teachers. After that win, I knew it was going to be a really good year for my team. We are 4-1 in 2020. Any year my Bears do well, I always watch this game. Never gets old. We got a Super Bowl winning QB as our starter in Nick Foles, stellar defense. Our offense needs a lot more talent. I see shades of '06, 2010 when my team did well. If the Bears make it to the Super Bowl in 2020 it's because the defense. Who knows, anything can happen.
One of the greatest Bears games ever. If we had a better QB we would've beat the Colts. This game was a testament of how good they really were! #BearTfDown
As a Bears fan this was good to see lol. Hopefully we improve as the years come ahead, yes we have bad moments but sometimes we have our good moments. As a true fan, I still believe that one day the Bears will improve and hopefully, just hopefully we'll win another Super Bowl.
he actually had some decent numbers. the o-line was garbage and was garbage through the kurt warner and kevin kolb era. it was the reason why the cardinals had so many quarterbacks after kurt.
I was at this game. I was about to leave and someone said... wait for it and I sat back down and the magic unfolded. It was absolutely an amazing wild ending!!! 🐻 ⏬️ ❤️
I lived in Goodyear, AZ, mere miles from the NEW stadium. My brother and I just either returned or where about to leave to go see "The Departed " film in theaters. Sometimes you remember little details. First year even living in AZ, and this was my new local coach. Legendary.
I was doing homework for history class during this game. The crowd was so loud on Devin Hesters return that I woke up during a much needed hw nap. What a game. What a time. S/O class of 2007
That has to be the greatest punt return of all time. That first move and the burst is just stunning to watch again after all these years. Devin Hester 100% deserved being enshrined in Canton.
Dennis Green helped build that Cardinals team that played in the SuperBowl in 2009. He won't get no credit for it, but he drafted the stars of that team i.e. Larry Fitzgerald, Karlos Dansby, Darnell Dockett
I always thought he didn't get the credit for putting this team together,he did the same in Minnesota,but was around long enough to build a winner,same with dungy in TB,he built the team on "D",and "Chucky" wins the SB the next season,dungy got zero credit for putting the team together
Riccardo Brown he did.. he was the one who drafted larry fitzgerald, karlos dansby and darnell dockett all in one draft and not to mention signing kurt warner... his only big mistake was drafting matt leinart.. all of those moves helped built the core of the superbowl team.. if warner could have stayed healthier and recovered from his wrist injury which he struggled with for years even with the rams, the cards would have made the superbowl much earlier and would have had longer sucess, but yes green did help the cards.. he even scouted larry fitzgerald since his days as a ball boy...
Rex Grossman was the NFL Offensive Player of the Month for the first month of the 2006 season. This was the game where the wheels started to fall off the wagon, and the legend of "Bad Rex" was born. Part of me thinks that they could have won the Super Bowl with Kyle Orton under center.
Been a Bears fan since 1979 and up to this game, I thought Urlacher was over rated, but he took this game over. Unbelievable performance. Mark Anderson was a beast as well his rookie year.
17 years later and I remember every moment like the day I watched it. The emotions during this game were nuts. The greatest D and special teams I have had the opportunity to watch. I miss Dave Toub and Ron Rivera. Peanut, Briggs, both Browns, Urlacher, what an amazing D to watch. Haven't seen one like them since.
im sooo glad this was posted...my favorite team of the nfl...when my favorite players were with the bears....i remember this night 10 yrs ago at a restaurant when history broke in arizona of a defense that will never be replaced!!!!
Rex Grossman got me -6 fantasy points that game and I had Desmond Clark and Bernard Berrian too. At least Da Bearsss still won. But the Mike Brown loss was killer.
Yes my favorite player growing up then Hester. But the whole 2006 defense should of got a ring same with Hester and a few receivers and tight ends. Robbie Gould was a gem too.
I remember that Monday, it was a long work day, and i couldn’t get home fast enough to watch the game from the beginning, so I hit up a pool hall/bar near work to watch the game. I was cursing out Grossman the whole game, and then the defense started scoring. My jaw dropped after the Tillman return fumble. All of a sudden, the Windy City Flyer took off to pay dirt, and I was literally running around the hall high-fiving anyone that would indulge me. Then Rackers missed the kick, and I knew then that team was Super Bowl bound. Such a special team. Only if Grossman was better.
RIP Dennis Green. The best underrated Head Coach of the NFL. This post game speech of "They are who they thought they were". The best funniest post game speech ever.
Keep this up NFL, I have NFL gamepass and appreciate watching full games but can't go back to some really great older games and if I find them they're in horrible quality so I feel I can speak for a lot of subscribers in saying KEEP POSTING FULL GAMES!!!
One of the best Bears games I've watched. Was watching with friends, they left in the 3rd quarter, saying it's over. I called them up going crazy when Tillman scored to make it 23-17.
The game that sunk Grossmans career. Coming in he had a 10 td 3 int on the season only having one bad game, including this game he had 13 tds and 17 int for the rest of the season. This isn't the worst game he had in a win. Week 13 he goes 6-19 for 34 yards and 3 int. Bears still won 23-13. Totaling 6 first downs and 107 total yards. If this team had an average qb they win super bowl easily.
I was at this game. Craziest regular season sporting event Ive ever attended. I keep this ticket stub to remind me that anything is possible. You can have a trash QB that commits 6 turnovers (should have been more) and still get that W.
R.I.P. Denny Green! One of the all time classic post game press conference game rants! Wow! Mr USC Matt "I totally screwed up my NFL career" Leinart was the starting QB. To lose that game the improbable way the Cardinals did? Shitcan QB Rex Grossman? Great post game rant by Dennis Green! Very Sad to hear of his passing Friday!
If only this team had won the SB. This year was really something special to watch, from the excitement every time Hester was back to take a kick, to watching this defense dominate, the Lovie Smith era for Chicago was one of a kind in the NFL
this was one of my favorite bear games! i remember my dad came in at half time said the bears getting their first loss today huh. i said maybe with a grin :)
I remember watching this with my girlfriend in the town of Addison in Illinois near Chicago. The whole apartment building could hear us we were screaming so loud. That Bears defense this year is going to be ruthless I hope to God there's no problems with starting the season on time cuz this Bears defense is going to be sick.
I know right, i remember on nfl films during 2006 even the bears defensive players knew how much of a bum he was always turning the ball over to put them back on the field. And lovie Smith was not taking action in pulling him and kept him.
@101937678263594820542 Still as a pats fans at the time, i was thinking what is smith doing, like was he in love with Grossman cause he was sucking all year, and his bad play finally caught up to him in the superbowl
Yea I agree. But the qb position was more or less irrelevant for the bears in that era. They just didnt care. Defense and special teams is what got them to the superbowl, and its what they were relying on to win it all. Who cares how bad your qb is if your getting a pick six and punt returns for tds every game, while holding the opposing team to under ten points.
True but it wont work every year, the chiefs of the 90s had great defenses but had terrible offenses by the QB. In 2000 the ravens won it all with a great defense. But the next year it caught up to them with their lack of offense and terrible qb play.
Look at any Saints games from this same season and there's probably all this "he'll be a future HOFer" talk during their games on Reggie Bush because people thought he'd be that special back then. Lol.
My dad took me to this game when I was 10. I still remember that missed field goal like it was yesterday. Good times lol same old Cardinals. THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE
I'm a lifelong Bears fan and was living in Arizona when this game occurred. I remember going to work the next day and telling my coworkers how the Bears dominated and just crushed the Cardinals. It was tongue and cheek for me but my coworkers reactions were just priceless and in disbelief at my "interpretation" of the game. LMAO, Perhaps the greatest feeling I ever got from the results of a football game.
RIP Dennis Green. This guy was a fantastic coach, beloved by all who worked with him, and he experienced one of the most painful losses in NFL history with the Vikings in January of 1999. As a younger guy, I don't have the background some of you may have, but I know a great coach and guy when I see one, and I'm sure Mr. Green will be missed dearly.
Grossman turned the ball over 6 times, the bears offense scored zero points, and they still won. WOW just WOW.
exactly
It's called letting them off the hook.
Nemo Smith no its called great defense.
bears scored more than 0 points.
The defense played poorly the first half though.
As a Chicago Bears fan, I literally remember watching this game with my dad as if it were yesterday.
Great times...

One of the best Bears games I've watched. Was watching with friends, they left in the 3rd quarter, saying it's over. I called them up going crazy when Tillman scored to make it 23-17.
Go to 26:23 bears fan wearing urlacher jersey taks it off n has a matt leinart jersey under it 😂😂
lol then puts it back on by the end
disgusting
i didnt see it
Jacob Ferreira I see it lol. u gotta pause it frame by frame or u miss it cause u don't realize it's the chubby fella on the left but that's funny
Hahaha
The game that sunk Grossmans career. Coming in he had a 10 td 3 int on the season only having one bad game, including this game he had 13 tds and 17 int for the rest of the season. This isn't the worst game he had in a win. Week 13 he goes 6-19 for 34 yards and 3 int. Bears still won 23-13. Totaling 6 first downs and 107 total yards. If this team had an average qb they win super bowl easily.
I was at this game. Craziest regular season sporting event Ive ever attended. I keep this ticket stub to remind me that anything is possible. You can have a trash QB that commits 6 turnovers (should have been more) and still get that W.
Thank you NFL! Love your embrace of the rant. This is one of my favorite games of all time!
R.I.P. Denny Green! One of the all time classic post game press conference game rants! Wow! Mr USC Matt "I totally screwed up my NFL career" Leinart was the starting QB. To lose that game the improbable way the Cardinals did? Shitcan QB Rex Grossman? Great post game rant by Dennis Green! Very Sad to hear of his passing Friday!
i saw this live, just like i saw jim mora live -- the two best fooball rants ever!!
with that said, without a doubt, this one is #1 all-time
lovely to see some full games !!!!
If only this team had won the SB. This year was really something special to watch, from the excitement every time Hester was back to take a kick, to watching this defense dominate, the Lovie Smith era for Chicago was one of a kind in the NFL
Jedediah Harper Chicago were wrong to fire Lovie Smith. His last season they were 10-6 for christ sake, there wasn't a lot more he could do
this was one of my favorite bear games! i remember my dad came in at half time said the bears getting their first loss today huh. i said maybe with a grin :)
Here after the bears game yesterday, similar vibes. God I miss the early 2000s haha what a throwback
Hard to believe this was 10 years ago. RIP Denny Green.
Da Bears Da Coach. 11 now
Patrick Ramirez 12 now
I remember watching this with my girlfriend in the town of Addison in Illinois near Chicago. The whole apartment building could hear us we were screaming so loud. That Bears defense this year is going to be ruthless I hope to God there's no problems with starting the season on time cuz this Bears defense is going to be sick.
Only grossman could get away with SIX turnovers XD
I know right, i remember on nfl films during 2006 even the bears defensive players knew how much of a bum he was always turning the ball over to put them back on the field. And lovie Smith was not taking action in pulling him and kept him.
Well the Bears have never had many options in the qb position...

Still as a pats fans at the time, i was thinking what is smith doing, like was he in love with Grossman cause he was sucking all year, and his bad play finally caught up to him in the superbowl
Yea I agree. But the qb position was more or less irrelevant for the bears in that era. They just didnt care. Defense and special teams is what got them to the superbowl, and its what they were relying on to win it all. Who cares how bad your qb is if your getting a pick six and punt returns for tds every game, while holding the opposing team to under ten points.
True but it wont work every year, the chiefs of the 90s had great defenses but had terrible offenses by the QB. In 2000 the ravens won it all with a great defense. But the next year it caught up to them with their lack of offense and terrible qb play.
I remember watching this game and freaking out repeatedly. It was an emotional rollercoaster lol
The video of this game needs to be edited to include the postgame news conference. This is the only game that requires it.
Wow! You guys are legit showing full games, this is awesome and very smart, more please!
Classy move NFL...
After the game, One of the best post game melt down by a coach. RIP Coach Green.
It's so funny to listen to those clowns praise Leinart and how bright his future was. Lol.
Kurt Warner: Hey.....
I know right!!!! Theisman was kissing his a$$ all night
Well we thought he was gonna be good. Hindsight is 20/20
He was a rookie and a top pick. What were they expected to say lol?
Look at any Saints games from this same season and there's probably all this "he'll be a future HOFer" talk during their games on Reggie Bush because people thought he'd be that special back then. Lol.
greatest comeback I ever saw, Urlacher willed that team to a win!
BEAR DOWN
Can we appreciate how high definition this is for 2006?
Hahahaha
Da Game That made a bears fan!
just finished the Vikings Cowboys game I'm loving this NFL
My dad took me to this game when I was 10. I still remember that missed field goal like it was yesterday. Good times lol same old Cardinals.
THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE
Kornheiser on MNF...lol...i remember that debacle.
It’s only gotten worse 👹
I'm a lifelong Bears fan and was living in Arizona when this game occurred. I remember going to work the next day and telling my coworkers how the Bears dominated and just crushed the Cardinals. It was tongue and cheek for me but my coworkers reactions were just priceless and in disbelief at my "interpretation" of the game. LMAO, Perhaps the greatest feeling I ever got from the results of a football game.
Damn I miss those days with Devon Hester!!!😔
Devin Hester should be in the Hall of Fame. Here because of PMT Lovie Smith interview
RIP Dennis Green. This guy was a fantastic coach, beloved by all who worked with him, and he experienced one of the most painful losses in NFL history with the Vikings in January of 1999. As a younger guy, I don't have the background some of you may have, but I know a great coach and guy when I see one, and I'm sure Mr. Green will be missed dearly.
It was a great game, but I'm a falcon's fan (home team)! That was a time when football was football, also we had a gr8 team as well
I love how after Hester's return they cut to Urlacher saying "We got it now,"
Man I missed those days when we had Brian ulacher Devin Hester and Charles Tillman. It's too bad that we lost all three of of these great players
It's so fun to go back and watch this game as a Bears fan
Rip Dennis green one of the best to ever do it
One of the craziest games i ever saw, beeing a fan of neither of the teams i loved every second haha
THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE
