the good ole days when its 3rd and 22 and youre in I formation
Jpgoeagles I miss those days
And it's a deep throw that's complete, RIP NFL
💀
Hilarious but so true
Fucking love it
This was one of the best regular season games in NFL history. Even though it will never be recognized as such.
I recognize it as such. 2002 and 2003 had some really great games that get kinda lost in time because they weren't playoff games
if someone had won it'd really be up there
Amen, Brother Boat.
Thay makes no sense. This video literally dis just that and your dumb af
The highest scoring tie game is panthers bengals 37-37 2014
This could've been an episode of "Days of Our Steelers".
That's such a good show lol
Lmfaoo very first comment doesn't disapoint
You think episode 5 will be separate like episodes 3 and 4?
@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 hope so man 😂😂😂
@@lightyagami3492 Episode 4 by far has been the best so far that almost yinzer rant tree had at the end sealed it, but he forgot to mention how leveon bitch bell said he wasn't coming back til the bye week
"This is a day Plaxico Burress will never forget..."
And then 2008 happened, and all was redeemed.
But then no one remembers because of David Tyree
@@yetz2291 diehard Giants fan here. Most people like to talk to me about "Tyree's TD catch" and I'm like "uhhh you mean to go up 10-7?" A lot of folks think he caught Plaxico's TD
@@yetz2291 otherwise he would be cheddar bob
Not his fault tho
I always love to watch these throwback videos! It’s fun to see games in the past that I had no idea happened
ExtraDip absolutely a fact
Especially when they are really great.
Wait until you're 30 and watching these about games you saw live.
Remember this game like it was yesterday.
Maddox was good in 02 and decent in 03 then we drafted Ben.
This game bothered me for the rest of the year because you should never give up a 17 point lead in the 4th.
It's fitting that Vick ended his career as a Steeler because 2 of his most remarkable games was vs the Steelers, 02 and 06 and both were crazy finishes.
What about 2010 Eagles @ Giants?
Price Pittsburgh giving up 25 point lead is worse, especially to a team you’re better then!
I would argue that the 06 game was even crazier as both starting QBs were knocked out of the game.
Gotta show Warrick Dunn some love here. For a guy that wasn’t a big running back, he was tenacious. Great speed and didn’t go down easily.
16:19 "But how could the Falcons let this happen?"
Fast forward 14 years, and truer words were never spoken.
Plaxico Burress definitely shot up on the WR rankings that day.
Must of had a leg up on the competition.
haha
Me and my buddy were at this game and it's something I'll never forget. 20 years ago I was 20. I was a steelers fan and my buddy was a falcons fan. We both got hammered and had the time of our lives. The crowd was crazy. The game was crazy. Just an all around good ass time.
Lmao The Falcons TWO 3rd and 20+ plays on the same drive! I wonder how many times that’s been done.
Packers did it against the cards but on fourth down in that legendary game
Gotta love good old Touchdown Tommy. The Steelers thought they finally had a good caliber QB.
For that one season in 2002 they actually did! They even abandoned the run and Tommy Gun was slingin' it that year! But he fell back down to earth really fast...
Maddox and Vick going at it hahaha I love it!!!
And I thought Big Ben could sling it, tommy Maddox was throwing some dimes and I had no idea
Love these throwbacks. Ah 2002, when NFL PrimeTime existed, when teams played 16 games, and when it was normal to see Tommy Maddox and Michael Vick put on a show.
I remember watching this game like yesterday... I must be getting old 😕 Mike Vick was incredible during his time with the Falcons 🙌😍👏 #GoFalcons
I was at that game craziest game I've ever seen
To bad he was dog fighting he was so good even tho I'm a Steeler fan
I remember watching that game as well upset at our offense in o.t.! I must be getting old too... Seems like yesterday.
@@pinkyboi6384 he wasn't even dog fighting he just financed it. But at least dog fighting no longer exist. His conviction put a stop to all of that.
@@TexasNewsOwL i really doubt that
One of my favorite Falcons teams, the year they stunned Green Bay in the playoffs...
The Steelers Version of “One yard short” 😂
Viewer:This game is so good its too bad there’s going to be a loser.
God:I got you!
Atlanta had no business leaving this game with a tie
I turned 8 during the 2002 season, and it’s by far my favorite season I’ve experienced.
Michael Vick had a field day with the steelers!!!
he had multiple field days vs the steelers when he was the Falcons QB. They beat the steelers in the other game that was back and forth
What a game. Young Michael vick too D:
Was fortunate enough to go to this game. Steelers fan but Vick was my favorite player. Unbelievable game.
One of my favorite games as a Falcons fan
Burress: 9 catches, 254 yards, 2 TDs. Half a yard short for a third TD
Warrick Dunn was soooooo underrated.
Thank you for uploading! I share these with my friends and we reminisce about simpler times... like when you had to manually calculate your fantasy football team's scoring!
Love it!
@@NFLVault Amen
You're Still Number One!
Tell what you want about vick , but the guy was a CLUTCH PLAYER !
Merci yeah a dog killing scumbag but yeah besides that.
Will Falls dude ur so stupid
@@Willthrill8 F them dogs
Yes! I have been waiting for you guys to do this game for the longest time!!!!!
Need Steelers titans from that year in 2nd round
@@ericsigersmith6067 Bruh, that is such an underrated game.
You know you love your team when you are getting frustrated about a game that happened 18 YEARS ago. My Falcons just love to make me uncomfortable lol
Vicks arm was a diamond cutter
This was my favorite game of all time!
I remember watching this game as a 19 year old still the greatest Game I ever watched
I loved watching this Steelers team. The offence and defense was loaded with talent. The Steelers should have won the Superbowl this year.
That Steeler team looked so good on paper. Placico Burress, Hines Ward, Antoine Randell-ell...OH SHIT
Yea man the best
Don’t forget Bettis
Too bad they had slow ass Tommy Maddox
Tyler Frost He was good this season.. probably his only good year with the Steelers
To bad the pats sucked then and suck now
Vick was a BEAST
The greatest tie of all time lol. Not really something to be proud about for either team but it was entertaining as hell to watch as a fan. With the weapons both teams had, there is really no reason it should have ended in a tie. And for the game to end on a hail Mary pass that ends up being completed at the one yard line as time expires is the cherry on top of a "legendary" game 😂
Anthony Apodaca 🌎🌍🌏
I can remember wanting to be a Quarterback. I played football in 7th and 8th grade. It wasn't meant to happen. Never played in High School.
Strange story. I am a Steeler fan in Ohio. Watched the game the whole time. The local broadcast cut away before the last play Hail Mary to show a news broadcast tornado warning very far from our Akron location. They did show last play approx. 15 mins later. Long before I had a cell phone to find results. Wild game
Vick arm strength was outrageous, most gifted QB ever
Back when the commentators were good.
Oh shut the fuck up. They still are
This guy still calls games. In fact most current commentators have been around for YEARS.
@@keithmorgan4883 yea and they were young, nowadays it feels like there paid to jus feel some type of emotion, joe buck for instance
@@crosslinezero3572 thank you! I swear when ever someone says the obligatory "Back when" it's usually to complain and exaggerate about something that's not true.
i was thinking the same thing. God i hate the shit holes anymore. I swear to gold most 5 year olds could comment better then anyone they have now.
Antoine R, Hines and Plaxico...good receivers. Also Vick only played in 16 games once in his career.
Yup steelers had a dangerous WR core and once Ben came in, it became even dangerous. And yes, thats Vick fault. Riddled with injuries because he REFUSED to slide and linebackers loved it
Wow, I forgot how talented the Steelers were before Roethlisberger joined them the following season I believe
Ben joined two seasons later after the Steelers were 6-10 in 2003.
10:25 Crumpler knockout Porter...talk shyt now...
LOL so true and you could hear someone say ohhhh😲
Before Goodell took over and started destroying the NFL.
The owners must like him or they would fire him and hire someone else. But yah he's a asshole.
this game is proof as long as you had vick as your quarterback (back then)you dont have to play defense
Dad was a Steelers fan and mom loved Patrick Kearney, they went to the game and mom loved that it ended in a tie, dad wasn’t so thrilled
It’s 4:14 AM in 2023 and I’m showing my friends this video… that’s how epic this game was
What an unbelievable game and ending!!! 🤯
Wow I was 11 yrs old when they had this game. I binge watched NFL games growing up. This was 2 yrs before the Roethlisberger era. I can remember 2002.
Notice Vick dropping back in a traditional offense. Can only imagine if they had the innovation of the shotgun with the zone read option or RPOs around 2002-04. Oh what could have been
@Blue Skeptic that lasted one year. And he played awful in their playoff loss that year. What did he do in 2011 and 2012?? My point exactly.
@@aaronjackson9385 Hater
@@bxrfan nah. Speaking facts. 3 playoff appearances his entire career..
Probably best game in NFL history that had no winner
I'd have to say that 3 reciever group for the Steelers , wow . Probably never get much credit , but they were perfect to compliment each other's skillset .
I love this channel you post the best games ever let's me relive awesome memories..only thing I will say is I wish you didnt tell us it was a tie because i wouldve loved to watch this game not knowing the outcome this is easily one of the greatest regular season games ever played that nobody will remember..thank you for this channel seriously but if I didnt know it was gonna be a tie I'd be on the edge of my seat watching waiting to see the outcome ..but still thanks for all your posts they are awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Man as a Ravens fan, I remember Hines ward, plaxico and randel el all together
And then emmanual Sanders later.
They were fucking scary
And bettis... Fucking aye man.
And back then they had amazing defenses too.
Ravens Steelers used to be THE rivalry to watch. Still kind of is.
A steelers game without Big Ben is so weird.
Why, he's missed a good amount of games since he's been in the league?
@@jjsteel43 just 22 minus last year which is nothing crazy for the way he plays and for how long.
I remember this crazy ass game. LOL! Two blocked kicks & the Hail Mary was actually caught but just short of the goal line. INSANE GAME!!!
That hit Crumpler put on Porter was great.
We will probably never see anything thing so heart wrenchingly close again in our lifetime. This pissed me off. If the Steelers didn't capitalize on the 2 previous scoring attempts, Atlanta should have. Vick led the Falcons offense and I'm still surprised they didn't win a title with Vick.
I remember this game I was 12.
If you ever owned a SEGA, then you’d know. “That’s just Madden football right there”
I wish they had the hang time back on live when punters kick that's pretty cool, since my niners got Wishnowsky
I know in 2002 Al Michaels and John Madden paired up and were legendary and Cris Collinsworth was great to listen to, but Sam Rosen and Bill Maas in my opinion were the most entertaining. I love listening to old games they called.
Rush Vogel Sam Rosen is one of the most underrated announcers.
Wow these ole games are good to watch Vick got stopped big time what a team we had Steelers did very well thanks
Say what you want Maddox had a god damn rocket for a arm
Tommy Gun
Steelers had a star cast of receivers
10:27 that block thought
I remember the end of this game like it was yesterday the memory Flooded my head as soon as I saw the thumbnail
im a falcons and i still live here in Georgia and even i remember this game. Man oh man. What a near-stroke feeling i had. memories
I remember this game like it was yesterday
That block by Crumpler on Porter 😮💨
9:19 was really a fumble?🤨
yeah good point since he barely had it when it popped out.
I think they've changed some rules since back then but by todays rules, no it wasn't.
yea that's a super dumb rule. Wasn't even close by today's standards
So glad they changed OT to 10 minutes
Even though it increases the likelihood of a tie?
Disagree 100%. Who likes ties?
Highlights like this is why I call people casuals who say “Vick can’t throw” that’s blasphemy.
Probably THE GREATEST NFL FOOTBALL GAME OF ALL TIME!
People forget about Maddox because Ben came after him, but man could he sling it. Also, does anyone else miss the NFL on FOX scoreboard graphics cerca 2001-2002 or is it just me?
Charlie Franz miss the hell of the scoreboard but Maddox wasn’t anything special
The 03 Fox scoreboard was legendary. Also the first scoreboard used in 04 was also awesome. But I am not high on these ones.
I remember this game, 02 Vick was still very much young almost in his prime. I Keith Brooking was a beast but the Falcons defense over and over made the same mistakes year end and year out... no defensive line pressure on the QB and blown coverages. It seemed only fitting that it followed us to the SB. Damnit we can never learn even after decades.
I miss these days
Vick was a beast this year.
Maddox be throwin some dimes back then
I remember not even being able to watch the end of this game because we had a massive tornado outbreak and there were tornado warnings all over.
Whew... All things considered, Burress had a heck of a game that night
Up by seventeen with eight to go in the fourth, and in typical Steeler fashion it goes to OT. Some things never change.
The Steelers, Bucs, and the Ravens always gave Vick trouble. Great game
Eagles
Back when the falcons could be actually come back after the second half
Oh, they can come back in the fourth. They just allow so many comebacks that no one remembers(including the second greatest comeback ever).
"How could the Falcons let this happen?" They kept him out of the end zone!
Yeah but they got lucky! It was bad defense by the secondary that play.
It should never have been that close.
The Steelers had such a good reciever group back then
Man if this was a boxing match, Steelers win on a unanimous decision! Vick was such a fun player to watch. Was the Bus hurt for this game? And was Maddox the Steelers starting qb in 03 until they drafter Ben in 04?
sub4ra Steelers win in a unanimous decision? They blew a 17 point lead in the 4th Quarter. 🙄
12:13 Dude now I know why people are comparing Lamar Jackson to Vick
lol except every time Lamar makes a play like that it's called back by penalty smh the refs are crazy nowadays
What an insane ending
I hate these games that are so out of focus and blurry. Didn't they have HD in 2002? I noticed anything older than 2008 is the same.
That was a hell of a game by both teams.
For those who came to see the 5th most cowardly punt in the 21st according to the surrender index it's at 14:33
It's because of this game I learned that a NFL game can end in a tie
IT'S A POWERPLAY GOAL!!
Oh wait, wrong sport.
bigblue999 I was thinking the same thing! Go Rangers!
@@ryanmorrison3699 I feel sorry for you.
Joel Yetz lol why?
@@ryanmorrison3699 Because of the rangers lol.
Joel Yetz Oh, yeah. Appreciate the sympathy. But right now, all of our sports teams are losers. Thanks COVID!
Omg that is insane
I think this game should've happened in 2003 because the NFL should've redid the interconference rotation like this:
2002,2006,2010,2014,2018,2022
AFC East vs NFC East (Patriots,Dolphins,Jets,Bills vs Eagles,Redskins,Giants,Cowboys)
AFC North vs NFC West (Steelers,Ravens,Browns,Bengals vs Rams,49ers,Seahawks,Cardinals)
AFC South vs NFC South (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Buccaneers,Saints,Falcons,Panthers)
AFC West vs NFC North (Raiders,Broncos,Chiefs,Chargers vs Bears,Packers,Vikings,Lions)
2003,2007,2011,2015,2019,2023
AFC East vs NFC North (Jets,Patriots,Dolphins,Bills vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions)
AFC North vs NFC South (Steelers,Browns,Ravens,Bengals vs Buccaneers,Falcons,Saints,Panthers)
AFC South vs NFC East (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Eagles,Giants,Redskins,Cowboys)
AFC West vs NFC West (Raiders,Broncos,Chargers,Chiefs vs 49ers,Rams,Seahawks,Cardinals)
2004,2008,2012,2016,2020,2024

AFC South vs NFC West (Colts,Titans,Jaguars,Texans vs Rams,Seahawks,49ers,Cardinals)
AFC West vs NFC East (Chiefs,Broncos,Raiders,Chargers vs Eagles,Cowboys,Redskins,Giants)
2005,2009,2013,2017,2021,2025
AFC East vs NFC West (Patriots,Jets,Bills,Dolphins vs Seahawks,Rams,Cardinals,49ers)
AFC North vs NFC East (Steelers,Ravens,Bengals,Browns vs Eagles,Giants,Cowboys,Redskins)
AFC South vs NFC North (Colts,Jaguars,Texans,Titans vs Packers,Vikings,Lions,Bears)
AFC West vs NFC South (Chargers,Broncos,Chiefs,Raiders vs Falcons,Saints,Panthers,Buccaneers)
& this game wouldn't have ended in a lifeless tie.
You would think vick would stop running into defenders while holding the ball with one hand smh 1:03
Man the NFL back in the early 2000's was way better then the current NFL.
The game that has a punt in the top 10 worst punts if all time! 😂
