I miss this team so much. It just... was so good. I especially miss Polamalu

I’ll never get tired of watching Troy run it back to the house for the game winner and seeing the hometown fans going bonkers. I was inside a large, Steelers fan club and all of us erupted with pure elation, knowing that we hadn’t won an AFC title game at home since the ‘95 season. That play was legendary and so was Troy.

The roar in the stadium when Troy picked that ball!

So happy my mom got to see two Super Bowls before she passed in 2011. Grateful to God...

13:58 - Polamalu ran through a swarming O-Line, broke a tackle, and in for the TD. Damn awesome.

This rivalry went from of heated to respectful.

Idk if anyone remember right before this game started..they asked who better out of Reed an Troy .an they all said Reed cus when he gets an pick.he can take it in for 6..and when polamalu did that I was so happy

Trey Biltin thank you for putting this together. Brings back great memories. I watched this at Carson City Saloon. When Polamalu made that interception the place erupted people were standing on chairs and the benches. What a defense. What a team! On a side note, I had forgotten about Limus Sweed, one of the biggest busts Steelers history, that dude couldn't catch a cold.

Still the most hard hitting game I’ve seen in a while

Steelers had one of the most dominant defenses of all time that year. Smith-Hampton-Keisel were so good up front. LBs and backfield were both top shelf as well. If Sweed would not have dropped that walk in TD this game would not have been so close

Polamalu was easily one of the best Steelers defensive players of this decade if not all time.

This was the best rivalry in football

I was a mere 3 years old when this game happened but I remember the Polamalu pick six and the amount of cheering coming from my living room

Ben was soooo good at escaping pressure and extending the play.

That place went crazy when Polamalu made that pick

I miss my boys! Troy, Ben, and Heeeeath!

Special season! One of if not the greatest Steeler defense for one season!

Ward, Holmes, Parker, Rothlesburger, Miller, Woodley, Polamalu, Harrison... *JEEZ*

8:13 Corey Ivey received coloring books for his birthday that year!

It’s crazy I grew up watching a first ballot HOF with Troy as young Steelers fan as kid and in high school lol

I still remember me and my dad being the only Ravens fans in our section. Lol we were getting berated all game, good times

Miss Troy 🥺

8:12 that was brutal ❗💯 Shoutout to Limas Sweed for making up after that dropped TD!

Back when Defenses were still great. Miss these days.

Man, what a game, ravens fan, it hurts, you make us better.

Man that Ravens team was nasty. Rice with the domestic abuse, Lewis with the double homicide, and Suggs/Ngata straight up murdering o-linemen.

still epic to watch...even til this day

Good old fashioned street fight, these two teams were so much alike......Go Ravens...!

The only injury sweed had after missing that catch was his pride lol

Beautiful game. @ 7:16 How do you sleep that night if your name is Limas Sweed? Heath or Hines (or most anybody) would have caught that beautiful pass.

You noticed the only reason the Ravens got touchdowns were by flags if it wasn't for the flags they don't get them.

The Steelers had a memorable 2008 NFL season.The Steelers anyways were favorites especially them playing at home in Pittsburgh.They were destined to win.I was going for the Ravens because they beat the team with the best record in the NFL the 13-3 Tennessee Titans a week before this game was played. 🤦‍♂️ You have to hand it to the Steelers they played a tough game against a tough opponent.Also in the last 58 super bowls i have yet to see a rookie quarterback lead his team to a super bowl.Its always quarterbacks that have played 2 or more seasons that play in a super bowl.Congrats to the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers in there Super Bowl 43 win they will always be remembered for that win 🏈

7:24 god dammit limas sweed🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Santonio Holmes TD celebration so epic

I honestly think that this team was the best the Steelers ever had. On both sides of the ball.

When you look at all the heartbreaking AFC championship games at home the Steelers had…to do this vs the RIVAL…man what a play. Polamalu clutch! 13:41. Steelers were the complete package here.

People forget how close this game was.

Oh how I miss the good times😔 steeler nation ⚫🟡

I remember chewing a popsicle stick to splinters in the 4th qtr!

anyone see that dude get laid the fuck out on the first kickoff ?! loved watching steelers and ravens back in the day nothing but hard hits and good football

Did anyone else notice on the opening kick off one of the Raven players was knocked out cold for a few seconds. Literally Gary Russell jumps over his motionless body and Jim Nantz even says Russell hurdles a Raven's player. Just look who he hurdles and look how stiff his body is.

Can’t believe you left out the Clark/McGhee hit with about 3:30 second left after troys TD

Classic Mr.Rooney in da last clip

Holmes was a BEAST like it or not

We had so many weapons back then. Rothlisberger had so many of them at his command

How apropos that #43 Troy makes the play to insure they go to Superbowl #43. Almost as good as Bettis playing in Detroit for Superbowl XL in his last year.

7:24 Limas Sweed doing what he did best!

Steelers vs Ravens was the best rivalry

Flacco showing off that big arm. And it was incomplete. 😂😂😂😂

Bullshit that NFL network put Ed Reed on top 100 players of all time over Troy Polumalu

This football was so much better

As a steeler fan till I die you won’t never see me say one good word about Baltimore but when these two teams got together someone was getting hit

Rare footage of Limas Sweed catching a football.

Must see TV when these teams played

13:36 can't be the only one that thought woodly was about to end that Refs career.

Steelers are my team for life aka por la vida!😸

The punter this season was terrible. Could you imagine if we had a decent one?

This have to be called into.the conversation when discussing Troy vs Ed Reed because head to head in an AFC championship game Ed Reed looked horrible while Troy Rose to the occasion with a Super Bowl ticket on the line... Troy was more clutch

8:13 damn

Fuck, these games were so good. Go Steelers!

01:45 This was bs as the ball crossed the plane, same with the game where Jesse James did the same thing. Today this is a TD.

The penalty on special teams at the end hurt the Ravens

Where’s the Ryan. Clark hit

Idk if its me but these announcers seemed like they were falling asleep commentating the game

The easiest path to a Super Bowl ever, and luck still carried them there

They won the SB that year

I miss Dick Labeau.

7:40 Ben is prolly so mad

There is nothing, except for my little girls voice, that sounds better than "The Steelers are going to the Superbowl".

8:11 😮

I feel the ravens pain no wonder they hate Ben Roethlisberger so much

Joe Flacco’s pocket presence was the worst out of any qb I’ve ever seen, I’m so happy he’s gone now

13:49. Youre welcome

Awe man. I watched this whole video to see the Clark hit on McGehee and it’s not on here lol

What is it with the officials fetish with calling any catch the Steelers make an Incomplete pass

Flacco almost threw like 7 picks in this game.

The hit at 8.13

Would be cool against Baltimore ravens vs arizona cardinals battles the bird super bowl steelers gotta ruined this one alot

8:11 night night rat bird #HereWeGo

Funny how crazy this rivalry was. Now in all the AFC north Facebook groups you'll find the Ravens and steelers fans banding together in their hatred for the Bengals 🤣 Fucking bengals.

Flacco played like absolute shit here

Miss troy

Nice logo

Sit. Down. Cory. Ivy.

ravens really couldve used ray rice in this one

Hey, Boo...

2 different Games....

who could forget good old Limas Sweed?

Love the the bengals

Poor Ray rice smh

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

WHO'S READY FOR MNF STEELERS FAN

Flacco is a much better quarterback than this.

Ravens always lost lmao

I know this game was in Pittsburgh but Baltimore should of won this one. The Ravens had 6 minutes left and should of just dinked and dunked it til time ran out

Cam Cameron was the bane of every Ravens fans existence. He was awful as an OC. Awful.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Ray Rice has a nice stiff arm. Just ask his girlfriend

I still hate Limas Sweed.

Bum as sweed 😂😂
