I don't know if you remember but during those years Coors was doing the commercials that featured edited footage of coaches giving press conferences and the coors guys asking them questions. Well when this game happened and Dennis had his meltdown I immediately thought "they're gonna make this into one of those coors commercials" lol, and they sure did 😄!!
As crazy as this sounds...does this make the top 5 iconic games played in that stadium? There have been SO MANY ridiculous college and NFL games at that stadium in Glendale. Super Bowl 49, Super Bowl 42, A-Rod's Hail Mary/Fitz's catch and run in the 2015 NFC divisional, the 51-45 shootout in the 2009 Wild Card game, the Boise State/Oklahoma hook and lateral/Statue of Liberty Fiesta Bowl...it is AMAZING how many insane games have been fit in to this place in such a short amount of time.
Yeah, but only for THIS game! The Trubisky experiment is over. Fields is going to end up in a coma if he keeps running around like he is. Chicago is where QB's go to stink themselves up so badly that no team in the league want's anything to do with them afterwards. Cleveland's got nothin on Chicago!
Lovie Smith is one of the most underrated head coaches in recent memory. He coached two Bears teams to NFC championship games, and the Bears haven't had a competent head coach(or a playoff win) since
The very first season I watched the NFL and I’ve not seen a game like this since. Live in the UK and the great NFL analyst on Channel 5 over here Mike Carlson referred to Grossman as “Interceptaurus Rex” and I’ve never forgotten it!
I know the Raiders beat the Broncos in Week 2 of the 1991 season 14-9 on two defensive touchdowns. Only time the Raiders have ever won to my knowledge without scoring an offensive point.
@@vinceniederman It was actually 1990, but yeah, they scored on a pick six and a fumble scoop and score on defense. ua-cam.com/video/JsYnpvSd4Ak/v-deo.html
When you lose a game when the opponent doesn’t score an offensive TD, yeah that will send you into a rage. I hope we remember Dennis Green for more than this rant.
Agreed. He was a tremendous coach. Gary Anderson forever altered his legacy in 1998. I think the Vikings beat Denver in Super Bowl 33 if they just get there. Wouldve been an all time game IMHO.
Same. I was 12 and had to be up for school the next day so figured fuck it I'll just knock out. Woke up the next morning and my mom told me they won. I thought she was lying lol.
Ha, I was the opposite. Playing a 1-4 Cardinals team, I dozed off before the game even started figuring it would be a Bears blowout. Then I woke up in the 3rd qtr like WTF???
15:19 = Urlacher says, 'We got it now' .... *** anyhow I am here after the Bears opened the 2024 regular season with a similarly miraculous win over Tennessee. The Bears were down 17-0 at one point today .... then the defense took over; a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, and then a pick six to give the Bears the lead .... and they won 24-17. Instantly reminded me of this game!
They could have played this game film at his HoF induction as the only evidence necessary to support his membership. I used to have this game TIVO'd (since lost it) & I remember counting more than 20 Urlacher tackles (solo & unassisted) in the second half, not to mention the forced fumbles and passes defended.
I still remember watching this game on a Tuesday morning all the way down in Australia. The capitulation of the Cardinals in this game in real time was incredible. But of course most of all was seeing the Dennis Green meltdown to end all meltdowns Live as it happened and the shock and fallout straight after will never be topped.
....AND WE LET EM OFF THE HOOK! Lol I watched this entire game and postgame sc on tv as it happened and saw it all unfold in real time! One of the craziest nights of football I’ve ever experience
My 2nd favorite post game conference is from this game after jim moras "playoffs?". Man urlacher was a force in this game especiallyin the 4th quarter. Too bad that was the same year he got juked by tom brady
I was 11 during this game and i remember watching it live. It's probably my favorite Bears game ever. My main takeaway rewatching it several times later in life: I don't think Rex Grossman could start in arena football today.
I remember watching this game my freshman year at University of Iowa in Hillcrest dorm. The entire dorm erupted when Hester returned the punt and everyone ran out into the hallway high fiving each other. I'll never forget it.
But in all seriousness, they really were who they thought they were. Arizona came out firing in this game and dominated early. They knew exactly what Chicago was going to try to do. Just fell apart late.
Well, not exactly. Denny Green was saying that he thought the Bears were fraudulent. But the Bears went to the Superbowl that year, and if not for some big injuries on defense (Mike Brown and Tommie Harris) they would have had a decent chance to win it. Maybe they weren't the undefeated juggernaut that their record suggested going into that game, but they weren't chumps.
I was in 3rd grade then and the 2006 season was my favorite season by far! I remember watching this game and the press conference afterwards, “they are who we thought they were”! Rest In Peace Coach Danny Green….
I watched this live on TV, and almost, ALMOST turned it off just before the 4Q Cards fumbled and Bear TD. I watched it through the end. As a Bear fan I'm so grateful I got to see one of the best all time comebacks live, and it was very exciting.
On the full game version on the NFL YT channel someone called him a clown because he switched jerseys apparently based on which team was performing better, but maybe it was some sort of tribute to the city of Chicago, which of course at one point was home for both of these franchises before the Cards split for St. Louis.
im a bears fan and was 8 years old at the time. went to bed at halftime cause they pissed me off and when i woke up the next morning to my mom telling me the bears won, i will never have that feeling again in my life. will never forget it.
Bears fan from birth (literally…my grandpa was best friends with Sid Luckman so my siblings and I are fortunate enough to have a ball signed by the entire team from the year of our respective births), here with an anecdote about that game. My grandfather had passed away the previous week and our family was in Illinois for the funeral that day. The entire group ended up in one of our hotel rooms eating deep dish while watching the game. The Bears were 5-0 at that point so the first 2/3 of the game was shocking but, with the defence (including my fave, Brian Urlacher) and Devin Hester, we didn’t feel like the game was over quite yet. As the comeback started and continued to be fueled by the defence and special teams, it really started to feel like something special was happening. When Arizona missed the FG attempt at the end, there were two thoughts in our hotel room: 1) that was the type of win that happens to a team that will go far (I actually called it that night that they were going to the Super Bowl, but I wasn’t sure how they would actually win it with Grossman at QB) and, more importantly; 2) Grandpa and “Uncle Sid” had SOMETHING to do with how the game turned around in the last 20 minutes (similar to how Walter Payton MUST have helped deflect the FG kick by the Packers, for the Bears to win the first game after his passing).
I'll forever remember this game as the game my pops explained to me after sending to bed after the 3rd quarter. I had to go to bed at the 3rd quarter of The Malice in the Palace too lol.
@ NFL Throwback Thank you for making this video 😃 I suggested this in a comment on one of your previous UA-cam videos. I really appreciate it. Thank you again 🙏🏽
I remember Coors Lite (I think it was them- it was some beer company) had a commercial campaign where they inserted their own questions in coach press conferences and used the coaches' answers to answer the commercial questions. They used this conference and made it pretty comedic.
*laughing at the beginning few minutes of the game* *camera pans to Denny Green* "WAIT THIS IS THE GAME, IS IT...!?" It sure was... I still cannot believe they punted directly to Hester with the Bears down one score...
Hester wasn't 'Hester; by this point, meaning he was not recognized as a superstar yet. He did return a punt for a TD in week 1 against the Packers, but no one knew at this point he would turn the NFL upside down for a bit.
What’s crazy is that the Chicago offense only got 3 points. The comeback was all on the CHI defense and special teams. It makes this comeback even more painful for the Cards.
@@ItsAllAboutGuitar oh yeah, he was definitely erratic the entire season and his career, but no team is benching their season long starter right before the SB. Especially after one of his best performances of the season.
Devin Hester... What a game changer that man was at returner!! Greatest PR/ KR ever!! Made it where you could not go to the kitchen for snacks or a bathroom break when he was back fielding kicks cause he was that much of a must watch
I don’t watch football anymore. This postgame interview from D Green came to mind and I come on here to check it out. Found this video. I remember why i used to love Bears football. Fuck em now but boy oh boy these were some good times!
I remember watching this game in my room going crazy and amazed at this crazy ass game!! I love the 06 bears! One of my fav teams and still root for them!! I couldn't believe how bad Grossman was and I remember thinking my bears are going to lose to the cardinals of all teams with the rose bowls losing QB( Matt leinhert) that I laughed at when they lost to Texas! My fav player of all time Urlacher was huge in this game..

Yea, the Bears giving up nearly 200 yards rushing to a pair of backup running backs while doing nothing on the ground themselves had nothing to do with it I'm sure.
***bangs mic*** "If you wanna crown em, THEN CROWN THEIR ASS!"
Denny Green was me losing to my kid in checkers.
“But they are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!”
If the Bears could've finished off the SB that would've been on T-Shirts
@@MasterZhaoI wonder if Tony Dungy would’ve said something along those lines if the Colts had lost that superbowl🤔
“The Bears are who we thought they were” were the words of the late Dennis Green that always stays with me when I think of this game 😂
He’s just acting infantile.
Lovie Smith always wears his big boy pants. Dennis is probably wearing a diaper underneath his pants.

The Bears not only overcame the Cardinals, they even more impressively overcame Rex Grossman.

Chicago is where QB's go to stink themselves up so badly that no team in the league want's anything to do with them afterwards. Cleveland's got nothin on Chicago!
He had some solid games. A great backup that would give you a chance to win some games when the starter is out but not an actual starter.
Rex Forever
Fields is the worse one. Fans like burying Rex but his deep ball to Berrian was on point off the play action. @@UNUSUALUSERNAME220
Amen to that
Lovie Smith is one of the most underrated head coaches in recent memory. He coached two Bears teams to NFC championship games, and the Bears haven't had a competent head coach(or a playoff win) since

And he was often blamed for the Bears’ failures. I bet Bears fans wish he was still around.
All facts
@@1who4me Nope. His offence was truly pathetic.
@@htownq3300 The same way Jay Cutler was one.

"And we let em off the hook" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bears fan from birth (literally…my grandpa was best friends with Sid Luckman so my siblings and I are fortunate enough to have a ball signed by the entire team from the year of our respective births), here with an anecdote about that game.
My grandfather had passed away the previous week and our family was in Illinois for the funeral that day. The entire group ended up in one of our hotel rooms eating deep dish while watching the game.
The Bears were 5-0 at that point so the first 2/3 of the game was shocking but, with the defence (including my fave, Brian Urlacher) and Devin Hester, we didn’t feel like the game was over quite yet.
As the comeback started and continued to be fueled by the defence and special teams, it really started to feel like something special was happening.
When Arizona missed the FG attempt at the end, there were two thoughts in our hotel room:
1) that was the type of win that happens to a team that will go far (I actually called it that night that they were going to the Super Bowl, but I wasn’t sure how they would actually win it with Grossman at QB) and, more importantly;
2) Grandpa and “Uncle Sid” had SOMETHING to do with how the game turned around in the last 20 minutes (similar to how Walter Payton MUST have helped deflect the FG kick by the Packers, for the Bears to win the first game after his passing).
Who’s here after bears week 1 2024? Lol
Yup me
The speech after this game from the late great Dennis Greene is on the same level as Jim Mora senior "Playoff Rant".
The most “bears style” win of all time. Not a point on offense but they still won. Best defensive/special teams game I’ve ever seen
As a Bears fan, this may be my single favorite game of all time (too young for the 85 bears). The post game just was the cherry on top.
Lol Dennis Green was a character 😂😂
I'll forever remember this game as the game my pops explained to me after sending to bed after the 3rd quarter. I had to go to bed at the 3rd quarter of The Malice in the Palace too lol.
Saw all of this especially post game live , awesome moment in my life
Its 2023 and i remember this game like yesterday!
Almost 20 years ago now, I watched this live, never laughed so hard in my life, epic rant
Rex Grossman had the arm of an M1A1 Abrams, but the accuracy of a revolutionary war musket.
"And we let 'em off the hook!" Classic. RIP Dennis Green.
You're So Cool NFL Throwback, I Love My Chicago Bears!
Just like the titans game that just happened
That’s amazing, even in hindsight, that the Bears won this when Rex Grossman had 6 turnovers
Rex Grossman was the Bears' version of Tim Tebow. A real stinker, but somehow kept winning.
One of the best rants after a game. RIP. Denny

Dang did they really used to do that may crowd shots on MNF? Idk if they were just doing it because of the new stadium, but it looks really nice.
Nowadays most of the shots between plays are of the coaches holding their play sheets over their lips.
Who else is commentating with Mike Tirico? Sounds like Theismann but who is the other guy?
Update: Realized that it is Charles Barkley but there's still one more mystery guy commentating. Anyone know who it is?
Also, Adrian Wilson was a beast.
It's Tony Kornheiser. He was the third MNF guy this year I believe.
Good ole #8. The SOLE reason the Bears don't have 2 Super Bowl wins.
