Best rivalry in the NFL no 🧢
Some of the hardest hitting games in nfl history tbh
Julian Shipp Jr not at all
Packers v Bears
SWABI BOI nah
Colin Hawkins it’s the longest rivalry in NFL history
SWABI BOI how many times where the packers and bears good at the same time
When the rivalry was really cooking. It’s felt like it’s lost it’s fire recently
Suggs is gone, reed retired and ray retired, kesile is gone and so is Troy
Colin Hawkins Ya But usually the great rivalries continue even when legends retire.
Red Sox and Yankees rivalry is still amazing without Jeter and Ortiz.
Peter Smith I think its gonna be back when the last players from the peak retire like Ben and yanda
I feel like ever since shazier.went down this.hasnt been the same riverly
taylor860gang nah it was when Troy retired
This rivalry always feel like a playoff game even in regular season.
Some amazing games back then. Both teams were good with remarkable D. As a Steelers fan we always looked forward to and dreaded Ravens week.
Diabra Mackall big facts
@@braddivens5179 either one of them could be 0-10 and the other could be 10-0 and there’s still such a good chance the 0-10 team would win
You always knew that both teams would be in the playoffs. These games were always critical for home field advantage in the postseason
I almost forgot how terrifying Harrison looked off the edge
NemaBass91 That man is Huge lol
That's why everybody started holding him on every play.
Monster
YES, before all of the rule changes
Bryant McKinney and James Harrison was always a great battle.......
In the days of Troy Polumalu, James Harrison, LaMarr Woodley, Casey Hampton, J Bettis,Hines Ward, Heath Miller Ray Lewis,Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed, Halota Nata,Chris McAllister, Todd Heap,Tori Smith, and Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger, were the days when this rivalry could not be touched literally by any!!! They were blood baths! Hardest hitting games I ever seen! And the playoff games!!🙈🙊🙊 OMG!
Truly the best rivalry in the NFL. The powerful hits and the overall intensity of the game is like no other. They are professionals and they give it their all in every game but, when the Steelers and Ravens play you can see and feel the increased animosity and aggression. It's just that extra something that you can't name or really explain. It's good old fashioned blue collar ,muddy, bloody, true grit football. This rivalry will continue but, there will be something missing without big number #7 leading the Steelers. The Steelers have some big shoes to fill. Good luck Ben and thank you so much for all the joy and excitement you gave us for the past 18 years. It was truly memorable and we will always remember you as one of the greatest leaders and warriors of the dynasty that is the Pittsburgh Steelers. The city of Pittsburgh will always be your home. God Bless you and your family. #Steeler Nation.
This was such a heartbreaker for me in middle school ravens forever
Polamalu. Lewis. Scott. Ward. Holmes. Heap. Suggs. Ngata. Reed. Ben. Miller. Clark. Harrison. McGahee. Good times.
This rivalry was born long before 2008, it's simply a continuation of the Browns and Steelers.
I enjoy watching these 2 teams play
This was only Flacco's fourth NFL game and he looked like he'd been doing it for years
Flacco was a decent QB, had that great SB run. Went down hill after he hit paid
Mr.Checkdown
Compared to the other young QBs who played the Steelers in the early Tomlin years, he was fantastic
@@fredleeland2464 It actually made Flacco better leading up to those matches against Brady because you can take a beaten against that late 2000s Steelers defense, no other team even holds a candle
If the nfl was strict on suspensions 2008-2011 James Harrison would have been suspended 12 games just like Burfict.
No he wouldn't. Harrison wasn't playing dirty & also he didn't have a bad reputation
Nah James Harrison was playing football to the best of his ability
@@thefriendlygamer2221 nah gtfoh he was dirty
@@bigty390 nah
You just salty your team couldn't block him 😂
@@wipe919 I love the helmet to helmet hits but in the eyes of nfl fans hes dirty.
I’ve always enjoyed watching that rivalry, hard hitting, take no prisoners mentality! Pure football and I miss that type of physicality!!
I just stopped the video @:36 to say....
I'm so excited to watch this!
Best rivalry in the NFL.
Football just ain’t the same no more 🥺🥺 I remember watching this game with my pops & I remember when Ray Lewis broke Mendenhall shoulder at 5:42
Rivalry existed before this game...this just raised it up to boiling hot.
This is the type of game I see when I think of Steelers vs Ravens. Tough defense and a focus of dominating the line of scrimmage on both fronts. I like offense, but seeing these two teams in a shootout just doesn't feel right at all.
This game in particular hits kind of different though, seeing where Roethlisberger and Flacco have ended up, and the fact that they're both likely on their way out. Feels like the end an era for sure.
I miss this Steelers team !!! Had alot of respect for that Ravens team too, they were tough as well. This was just all around great football !
Man you talking about the best feeling alive to go to school the next day with all ya Steelers stuff on knowing you just beat ya rival
The best rivalry in the NFL
It was always fun when we would play the Steelers with their grass fields
I played for the Redskins in 2002 to 2012
Crazy 11 yrs football changed
Best NFL Rivalries Ever!
Ravens Vs. Steelers 2008
Dolphins Vs. Patriots 2008
49ers Vs. Seahawks 2013
49ers Vs. Seahawks 2019
PHEW! I remember that game! A Brutal & Physical game.
A typical AFC North battle. All about defense
This year was really the last year of good football.
One for the history books!!
Highlights All Day 💯🔥😜.... #NFL
And then the game today ends like this.
The intro tho 😍
The rivalry was really born in 2000 and 2001. I remember when I think it was Shannon sharp with a Ray Lewis called plaxico Burris plexi glass. Then that week we proceeded to pound them and I think Plex had 250 yd receiving
That’s was literally I’m a fan of the Steelers when I saw that game I thought we would lose but we won I got scared that’s day
Back when you were allowed to actually hit people
2008-2009 was one of my favorite season, badass games too. Eagles fan but my team came short against Arizona in the NFC championship game smh. Eagles would of definitely won the Super Bowl against the Steelers.
It never ended they just changed cities and uniforms.
Respect!
RIP Haloti Ngata
Whos here in 2024
Rivalry is much older than 2008😂😂😂
8:16 harrison is such a savage he kicked the fuck outta that goofy ass dude lol
There was a rivelry before this game.
This rivalry was 100% born in 2001. Not 2008.
Great rivalry, best in the league. Tbh I still haven’t forgiven Jarret Johnson for the flag.
All 4 of the AFC North are bitter rivals!
12:48 "If he makes this kick, that means the game would be over" - Booger
This rivalry was in existence way before this game , try around 2001 when they won their 1st Super Bowl. Jerome Bettis was playing and Ravens defense was way better than it was in 2008. Arguably the best defense that ever played but they didn’t do it longer than other great defenses. That super bowl against the Giants would’ve been the first shutout in history but their special teams gave up a touchdown. The Ravens who acquired Rod Woodson definitely became better as a defense instantly and would find themselves in the 2001 Super Bowl destroying the Giant’s. When you play in the AFC central , now it’s the North you have to play to or out do the Steelers level of play in order to win the division title. This rivalry was born when they won the 2001 Super Bowl.
OT coin toss was straight up and down LMAO no spin
If there’s one thing that us Steelers and Ravens fans know is that this is(or was) the best rivalry in the league
Foe sho....! 😆🖒
im a cowboys fan and even i know this
Yea but i hate the ravens with a passion
@@eastcoastgrandison4855 I hate the Steelers more then I hate the Patriots.
The rivalry lost the excitement ever since both defense lost key players. And the league changed the rules so it's not that much hard hitting like it used to be.
Big Ben always looks like an African elephant getting taken down by lions when he gets sacked
Cause it takes like 4 guys to do it 😂😂
That’s pretty racist
@@joetherealtor7554 ?
💀💀
Great analogy for real
When Monday Night Football was worth it. Seeing how the game is today, it's actually refreshing watching old NFL game highlights from 10 years ago
49ers seahawks
So true. Just the whole vibe of the nfl has completely changed.
Lamar bringing us back
Very true.
PS. Lawrence Taylor the best linebacker of all time?
That’s because you only watch the great games from 10 years ago...
These games between the Ravens and Steelers; were always those games that you knew was going to be hard hitting and a low scoring game with amazing defenses against another. This is one of those rivalry games you knew you couldn't miss especially when it came on Sunday night.
Excellent rivalry at the time. 2 great defenses of the decade facing off was always must-see TV, especially during the playoffs. Lewis, Suggs, Reed, Ngata on one side and Farrior, Harrison, Polamalu, Woodley on the other side. Talk about smash mouth football 🤘
These two teams definitely had some grown men playing for them
iluvinternalcombustion I thought they were a whole bunch of Teenagers
Grenadehappy45 I thought it was women😳
Butt Hole Could be both. 😳
iluvinternalcombustion no one was there, they aren’t real, it was just ur imagination
We need an ice bath just watching these highlights lol.
Look at all the Hall of Famers in this game!! That's why it was such a great rivalry. If it wasn't for the Patriots, there might be multiple Superbowls between these two teams.
Ron Edward you could say that again
We beat them and won the super bowl so yeah that made me happy haha after that missed field goal 😂😂
Fuck the cheatriots
@Ron Edward • not exactly a lot. A combined 6 players (Polamalu, Ward, Roethlisberger, Reed, Lewis, Suggs). You also can throw in Jonathan Ogden and Alan Faneca which would make it 8 combined....4 each. Now if you want to see a rivalry with numerous HOF players, look up the Steelers-Raiders from 1974-76. The Raiders had 10 players (Ray Guy, George Blanda, Kenny Stabler, Fred Biletnikoff, Dave Casper, Art Shell, Gene Upshaw, Jim Otto, Ted Hendricks, Willie Brown), plus Al Davis and John Madden. Steelers also had 10 players (Joe Greene, Jack Ham, Mel Blount, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Jack Lambert, Mike Webster, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Donnie Shell), plus Art Rooney Sr, Chuck Noll and Dan Rooney. That's 25 HOF's combined.
I miss the old NFL where a team can play real defense and it was fair to both sides
Fun to watch, but we were watching people take years off their life at the same time. There was a study done in 2015 that showed 87 out of 91 deceased former NFL players had all tested positive for CTE. I don't wish all sorts of mental health problems + progressive dementia on anyone.
FriedTofu facts never would want that to happen to anybody
I the last 25-30 years, most of the players never prepare themselves for life after Football. Seems like recently in the last 15-20 years most have gone into broadcasting. How many of those players who left college early went back to get their degree. Some became Lawyers/Judges (Alan Page, Dewayne Woodruff). Some on into politics (Steve Largent). These players need to begin to preparing themselves with all this money the get.
@Marquis Beverley Yeah, why care about anyone but yourself? Pos.
Everyone playing knows what they are risking, keep your damn studies and agendas out of Football. Studies also showed alot of these guys made $10 million dollars a yr and changed the entire dynamic of their families. They don't have to play. They can coach, if your at that skill level the opportunities are stacked for you much less just getting a degree and living a normal life.
James Harrison is a scary human being pressure all night
When football was football. You know how many flags would have been thrown in this game in 2019? How many fines that would have been handed out if this game happened now. Football sucks now😪
Lamont Graves Football players can die in a game, that’s why it’s more stricter.
CTE
Ok boomer
Yes you can die but football is football it is meant to be physical, in boxing someone can die but they don't say "punches are shoulder and beneath" because boxing is also suoot to be physical
@@connorlemcke1855 did you giggle like a dumb little girl after typing that comment
Ravens vs Steelers will always, in my opinion, be close to that old school football where men where men on the field. These games were hard hitting and if you didn't want to play go home and cry to momma!!!!
tough, gritty, and relentless. however, they still had class when facing each other. best rivalry in the league imo
@MRTUPAC 28 - Old school, blue-collar football. Records don't matter, injuries don't matter, EVERYBODY gets up for these games 2x a season, fans included.
@@swaggshotzz1445 Unlike Cleveland and Cincinnati. Cleveland fans and their sports reporters at their newspaper are like jealous, petulant children.
Ok boomer
Crazy how 10 years goes by & these teams are still going into overtime & winning by a field goal! One of the best rivalries in the NFL hands down.
C. C

Sunday officially marks the end of an Era.
It is the first Ravens-Steelers game since 2003 to not feature Ben Roethlisberger or Joe Flacco.
Here’s to Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph carrying the torch.
EdmacZ wrong
1:53 What was that Big Ben 😂😂😂
It’s crazy this was a decade ago, it seems like yesterday
The three games between the Ravens and Steelers that season were some of the hardest hitting games I've ever seen. Between the rules changes and the league becoming more offense-focused, we'll never see games like these again.
As Ravens fan, even though I can't stand the Steelers, they've had my respect since the '08 season.
Random note but I miss watching McGahee in pass protection. Dude used to rock blitzing LBs all the time. 4:51 is a great example.
Yo remember boldin Torrey and Jacoby lol good times
Man I miss the BATTLES between those 2 ballclubs
the game when roethelisberger broke his nose, went to the sideline and missed ONE play while he literally got it realigned on his face then came back in I was like ...well alright then this dude has got my respect for real. and by proxy the steelers too cuz as a ravens fan that shit was hard to admit lol
as a steelers fan, i respect the heck out of the ravens. and now that i have lamar jackson on my dynasty team, the ravens are my favorite team to watch. but i have no respect for the bengals.
@@seansmith4730 haloti ngata knocked ben's nose completely sideways! i remember ben's foot was also injured coming into that game. he was so beat up, mario lemieux famously told ben, " now you look like a hockey player."
Ed reed was soft in games vs Pittsburgh. Missed tackles, being bullied by Hines Ward in blocks. I am a Steelers fan so saying Troy is better may be biased and don’t get me wrong Ed is a great player. He is a 1st ballot HOF, as will Troy this next summer 2020. But between the two, id take Troy. When these two teams played Troy was the more impactful player in the rivalry. Outside the rivalry, Ed Reed has the numbers that can’t be disputed but I’d take Troy still.
Why UA-cam recommending me to watch my team lose? Looks like I found who my real enemy is. UA-cam sucks.
I actually liked these Steelers uniforms
I agree the rivalry was born here. Before this, Pittsburgh's main rival was Cleveland.
I mean, if you want to get technical, the Browns they faced turned into the Ravens?
The rivalry started in 2000 when Shannon Sharpe called out Bill Cowher after the Steelers got shut out in the opening game. This game launched it to new heights though.
@@goldenraven2046 The media didn't really market Baltimore-Pittsburgh as a big rivalry until Harbaugh and Flacco got there. Instead they still treated Cleveland-Pittsburgh as the main rivalry. That's why the Browns and Steelers played each other in 5 primetime games between 2003-2009. I made a video about this on my channel actually.
@@RamenRobbie Yea cuz 2008 was really the start of the Ravens run as an elite team. I realize the won the SB in 2000, but that was really a lightning in the bottle type situation. From 2008 on, both teams were top 5 teams in the NFL pretty much and the game always had huge implications. Even in the years post SB 47 when the Ravens started missing the playoffs, they had a big game against Pittsburgh at the end of seasons. Losing close games to the Steelers cost them playoff births in 2016 and 2017.
nah it was more Cincy back then.
Did Ray Lewis ever return an interception 100 yards in the Superbowl? Na. Debo the best.
Gtfoh
Such an absurd take. TP43 had 1/2 the picks Reed did therefore he's just an average player too right?
@@ciaYimengKriete didn't say ray was average...
SteelersGoingFor 7 honest question. Who is debo?
@@ciaYimengKriete James Harrison! Look up a high light. Defensive player of the year, best hits of all time.
My favorite games as a Steelers fan, but also the ones that cost both teams Superbowls. Nobody ever got through those games healthy.
Woodley & Harrison used to wreak havoc on olines back in there prime, damn. Hard watching this as ravens fan. Defense was crazy back then.
It was hard but the best thing for us to persevere.
This is back when faux-MNF was still fooling everyone that it was the real MNF. Not fooling anyone anymore, MNF is now the bottom feeder of the NFL in both schedule and production value.
TheLocalLt C00L
I actually really liked those 2-3 years when Ron Jaworski was in the booth with Jon Gruden. They had great chemistry & complimentary insights.
@@CrysisOwnsHalo i always liked gruden in the booth. he brought coaching insight with the ability to translate it to general audiences. and he kept it real. sad when he left
These were the days. Hell of a rivalry! Also, I miss Tirico and Gruden on MNF
I miss Ron Jaworski in the booth with them too.
These games were so much fun to watch
When football was played for the love of the game !
Bruh what? U act like weren't playing for millions of dollars 12 years ago
Two of the toughest, baddest defenses ever seen in football history.
Brings back so many memories..always felt like it was a superbowl game everytime.
Seeing McClain going helmet to helmet on that TD made wince after hearing about all that brain trauma he's been dealing with.
That was my first thing it came to mind.
not me at all ....he always used the crown of his helmet to make contact .....it accumulated over time .....
No 2 teams in the NFL play as hard as these 2 teams when facing each other. Without a doubt the very best rivalry in the NFL. Each game plated is almost like watching the Super Bowl !!!!
AFCN has been tough for decades.
From a Pats fan, best rivalry in the NFL
Mewelde Moore was really good at catching the ball out of the backfield I often forget how important he was in the 08 Super Bowl run.
WTF are you talking about? This is a carry over of the traditionally bitter Steelers Browns rivalry. The Browns moved to Baltimore and dressed in purple after the 95 season. This rivalry started decades before this game
This game was the epitome of how hard nosed this rivalry was at it's peak. Still good but not as much as it was.
Primarily because all those legends on defense retired.
As much as I hate the Baltimore cravens, I do have very much respect for them. They are indeed our rivals... Much love Cravens, but we are coming back to take our division back....Steelers Nation... For life....
5:42 , Ray ended Mendenhall's season. I remember that.
Peak ravens vs Steelers 2008-2011
trufiend138 nah man I’m a ravens fan
trufiend138 baltimore never “owned” the steelers either. It went both ways. That’s what makes this rivalry so good is the fact that the games always go both ways
slappadabassmon exactly
eGREGious Jennings that’s my thoughts
@eGREGious Jennings definitely can agree on that statement!
Rename this video. This has been a rivalry since the day the ravens joined that division
jeff nordmeyer yeah pretty much soon as they moved from Cleveland to Baltimore, they stayed in division. It was the same team, owner just different city n name so rivalry was still there from Cleveland.
Actually titans were more of a rival early on!!!
Presto Ernesto no they weren’t, reason is caz ravens were the browns n moved, older rival than oilers that moved being the titans. Plus titans started year later than the ravens. Definitely was a great rivalry between oilers n titans, since divisions changed not the same.
@@ICLight412 um. Yeah. They were. We didn't play the Steelers in the playoffs back then. Titans were one of the best teams with mcnair,mason,george,rolle
Presto Ernesto yeah they had great team back then, in same division
Forgot how good of a wr Mason was, also forgot hot vicious that hit Ray Lewis put on mendenhall was broke his collarbone and pretty much ended his career
L&M MEDIA not a murderer. Regardless of all the evidence proving his innocence, his two buddies got acquitted for self defense.
Back when MNF was good
These games are always good. best rivalry in the NFL
Theese are the best rivalries where there’s no hatred just pure competition
Oh there was hatred but mutual respect
It's so hard to believe this game was over 15 years ago....man how time flies
The NFL is played so differently now. There would've been so many calls !
Up to Rudolph and Jackson to keep the best rivalry in the NFL alive.
5:43. Poor mendenhall really thought he was gonna run through Ray Lewis...☠️☠️☠️That was his season right there...
This was good football! The last of a period of good rivalry and great defense! Nothing better than great defenses, the game is too soft now.
These games always reminded me of Pittsburgh v Oakland in the 70s, except the 70s games were much more ferocious. Those games were like a back alley brawls...
That was the best 13 mins of my life 💪🏾 back when 🏈 was 🏈
8:15 dude in the yellow hat was too excited lmao security had to put him back in tha stands
received a swift kick to the jaw
We need Troy in Madden
We will never see football like this again nowadays football has gone soft
You gotta admit whenever these two faced off no matter what team you like, you had to watch it.
