Lol Phil Simms in 2008 “modern technology is really something they sent him game plans through the computer” different times

I really appreciate these high quality 2000s uploads. I remember trying to find old games in the early 2010s and could only find 240p versions

The Eagles could’ve had 15 sacks in this game if it wasn’t for Big Ben evading some of those hits. Total domination.

Over 10 years later & the Eagles still have one of the best front 4 pass rushers in the league

The quality of cbs in 2008 looks so much better than 2020

This season began the streak of 5 straight eventual Super Bowl Champions being the first home opponent for the Eagles 2008 Steelers 2009 Saints 2010 Packers 2011 Giants 2012 Ravens Chargers got that honor in 2013, but lost in the Divisional round.

Really thought we were gonna see a rematch of this at Super Bowl XLIII before Larry Fitzgerald went on arguably the greatest postseason run by any receiver in NFL history

Jim Johnson defenses was so complex his blitzing schemes were sick

As a Steelers fan I remember this game pretty vividly. Our O-Line was total garbage that game as well as for most of the season. Shows how great Ben is that we were able to win the Super Bowl that year with all the clutch plays he made that season despite that O-line. Definitely a legend!

A great QB matchup with Roethlisberger and McNabb!!

The steagles bowl

Eagles Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson noticed that when teams showed pressure in the A-gap (over center), the Steelers pass protection call was to pinch everything in. So he showed A-gap pressure but blitzed corners and safeties off the edge instead. The Steelers didn't have an answer for the speed around the end with that pass protection call. Jim Johnson was one of the best DCs in the history of the NFL. It's a shame they don't put coordinators in the HOF, they really should.

4:00 What a jump by Buckhalter!!!

Mcnabb arm was crazy strong smh sheesh

Literally unbelievable that with that O-Line the Steelers won the Super Bowl this same season

That Dawkins Weapon X/Wolverine lunge was unforgettable💪💪💪💪

Thank you for this!! Mcnabb, rothlisburger, and DAWKINS AND POLAMALU . Legends all over this game.

This is easily one of my favorite channels on youtube because of content like this

This game is what changed Ben into one of the best against the Blitz. After the beating philly did this game, he became one of the least blitzed QBs in the league because he became deadly when teams blitzed

They just don't make em like this anymore

Ben got roughed up quite a bit here. Quietly the eagles lead the league in sacks rn. Ben is older and slower now. Could see another painful day for him his Sunday

I am 100% convinced that had the Eagles beat the Cardinals in the NFCCG, the Eagles would've beaten the Steelers in Super Bowl 43.

Bdawk was a beast this game

Mike Tomlin has the GOAT hairline. Still looks just as crisp all these years later.

Troy polamalu was a great person, he deserves to be in the hall of fame. Unbelievable sportsmanship by him too. When he loses he never gives up.

McNabb’s last prime season... Good times

Crazy seeing Asante Samuel Sr. make an interception and now seeing his son play for a potential Super Bowl contending team.

Man this Eagles pass rush is crazy.

I’m sorry but where has this type of defense been in philly for the last 13 years, they need get back to that 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Two of the best QBs from the 2000s. Roethlisberger has a deadly pump fake !

16:31 is and always will be why Brian Dawkins is vastly underrated in my opinion. In a golden age of safeties, he was always under the radar because of Reed and Troy.

17:04 that’s why Brian Dawkins is a HOFer and listed on the All-Decade team! Cause of plays like that!

7 year old me was raging

Seeing the way that philly d-line was playing back then they was nasty!!!

16:25 That Dawkins strip sack tho!! 🦅🦅🦅

16:24 one of the greatest plays ever

Thanks for the upload.

this should've been the Super Bowl matchup that year

No unnecessary roughness at 0:53? 😂😂😂 real football

1:01 hes unconscious.....crazy

Pittsburgh Steelers-🏈 AFC Central (1970 - 2001) AFC North (2002 - present) Vs. Philadelphia Eagles-🏈 NFC East (1970 - present)

Brian Dawkins and Troy Polamalu were just different!

I like how McNabb and Roethlisberger have a close talk with each other after the game at 19:10.

10:06 polomalu was a different breed man. He was special for that steel curtain defense. You have players that are good. Those that are great. Those that are elite, and those who are legendary. Troy went from elite to legendary for making plays like that

Best play was by Troy Polamalu💯🔥🏈

They beat Big Ben up 😂 eagles defense use to punish teams

This was the 1st game I watched after my daughter was born 2 days prior . She’s now 12. I remember yelling at McNabb to avoid the sack and scared the 💩 outta her . 🥴

Week 3 of the 2008 NFL season featured the battle of Pennsylvania between the eventual Super Bowl XLIII champion Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Back when Ben, held the ball too long. Oh, and won the Super Bowl.🤷🏻‍♂️

Polomalu is insane. Complete safety !

I can watch Troy Polamalu play all day!!!

More games from the 2008 season please!

>T. Thigpen: 14/36, 128yds, 1 TD, 3 INTS I think KC is very happy with Mahomes.

Best Video Ever!

Does anyone else appreciate Jason Avant? He has to be one of the better 3rd down receivers I've ever seen. He reminds me of Danny Amendola, with his penchant for acrobatic, clutch receptions. He played for the Eagles for several years before signing with Carolina in 2014, then later signed with the Chiefs during the season. So basically he played for Andy Reid for nearly his entire career. In his last game as a pro in the 2015 playoffs against NE, I recall he made a couple insane contested catches on 3rd down. Underrated career.

I was 7 when I first started really watching the eagles these games bring back good memories

It’s crazy that these two teams almost play in the Super Bowl

The Eagles & Steelers were in the Top 3 defenses that year, the other being Baltimore. All 3 played in the Conference Championship game that season.

What a game.

16:30 dat strip sack tho, Weapon X

McNabb did the most with the least talent at receiver. I think back to those James Thrash, Todd Pinkston, Freddie Mitchell days!

Eagles defense was something relentless that usually takes you far in sport

The only time the eagles really tried to get mcnabb weapons it was Owen's and kevin kurtis , other than that the poor qb always had todd pinkston and reggie brown and james thrash types....

Love this game!!!dad passed B4 pb won

Csn somebody remind me who won the SuperBowl this season??

Classic Football game

I vividly remember being so distraught after this game. The Steelers offense looked so awful that I thought they'd win 6-7 games. A legendary defense and top 10 all time QB helped them win their last Super Bowl. Such a satisfying season and that defense needs more respect. Literally #1 in damn near every major statistic in an offensive minded league with a below average offense.

No Larry Fitzgerald Here! That guy damn near solo’d The Super Bowl

Along with the Ravens these two teams were in a class of three defensively in 2008. No one else was even close. Pittsburgh and Baltimore were one and two with Philly juuust a little behind in third. Whoever was fourth was in another zip code.

Hope the Eagles win Sunday

Jim Johnson Defense was unlike anyone else. Always someone coming through unblocked.

Lot of good players in this game

why dont we have any troy polamalu’s in this generation 😔

16:58 that’s most funny strip fumble like the whole play was in slow motion 😅 so dramatic but yet so dope BDawk weapon X was a dawggg

That Eagles DEFENSE.............Jeeeeeesus!

I do not miss that Steelers o line cause my gosh Ben was running for his life.

Jim Johnson, nuff said.

Damn that was a delightfully gritty and dirty game. Watching this makes me feel like how rose felt remembering jack when I see how good the eagles defense was. And is it me or has mike tomlin eyes gotten bigger over the years? Here they look not as wide as they usually are

I’m still convinced that if we had beaten Arizona in the nfccg in 2008 we would’ve gotten our first Lombardi in 2009 maybe in biased but we could’ve done it

Forget about Big Ben vs McNabb matchup, its matchup of 2 best safeties in NFL, Polamalu vs Dawkins

I remember this game we was garabe

Jim Johnson just dismantled offenses

I work with Kevin Kolbs uncle. Lol I’m going to give him some shit about how his nephews first pass was intercepted by Troy Polamalu 😂

16 year old me couldn't believe that they got 9 sacks

Both QBs got killed in this game but dam Big Ben was getting smacked on every play....

What a move by Dawkins to create the qb fumble. Awesome player!

This was the battle of Pennsylvania in this match up.

It’s crazy you don’t have one of the best playoff games in the last decade on here the Seahawks vs 49ers nfc championship game

THIS WAS INTERESTING.............

Can you post the Panthers Vs Saints game in the rain in. 2013

Being a Steelers Fan I can say what an embarrassment the Offensive line was for Ben that day.

They should rename this rivalry the East-West Bowl.

Mcnabb was the franchise at this point... so sad it didn't last long...

They don't hit like this anymore. The game has changed.

If the Titans didn’t fumble twice against the Ravens in the playoffs that year,they would’ve won the Super Bowl..no.1 rushing attack with CJ and Lendale no.2 Defense and was the no.1 seed

God I miss this defense

16:40 if you're looking for a legend making one of the best plays you'll ever see

Yeah I still kind of remember this game* and I was 18 back then. Who else?🤔🙄🤔

Why is it that every one of these videos pops up on my feed, its the Eagles 8/10 times?

And the show Carson Wentz put against Steelers in 2016
