2000 AFC Championship Ravens vs Raiders Highlights (CBS intro) 

I was 12yrs old watching this game with my Dad in his South Baltimore apartment. Crazy feeling, watching your team make it to the SB. Even crazier was the following game, when we won it all. This brings back memories!

2000-2002 was nothing but heartbreak for Raiders Nation.

Went to this game. Seeing that Ravens defense up close I knew the NY Giants would get crushed in the Super Bowl

This was one of the very times I was stunned by a playoff game. And it happened twice that day. Good think I never gambled. Because I was so sure of a Vikings/Raiders Super Bowl XXXV that I would have wagered a huge sum on those conference championship games. And in hindsight the 2000 Ravens were, imo, the most dominant champion of the decade.

Crazy because the next year John Gruden goes to SB w Tampa Bay and an all time great Defense and blew out the Raiders 😅 what a strange chain of events.

7.38 Ravens interception, guy is down, Raiders drills him, Simms? says nothing, hmm...must have missed it

On the first sack the damn left tackle didn’t even move LMFAO🤣🤣

These were pretty slick production values considering this was played on January 14, 2001.

2000 AFC Championship game primetime highlights

I can't say with any degree of confidence that this 2000 Raven defense ISN'T the greatest defense ever. 1985 Bears come close. Looking back how could they lose with such talent? Go Raiders!! It's too bad it didn't work out for us that year. What a great team we had though. I'm never going to hang my head in shame. We did our very best. The Ravens were a juggernaut, for sure.

Raiders really had something going in the early 2000s. Too bad they lost that Super Bowl in 2002

The 2000 Ravens SB Team was all D.

Before anyone ever heard of Tom Brady.

The Ravens had already played the Super Bowl the week before vs. Titans,everybody knew that those 2 teams were the best 2 teams that year and whomever won their matchup was gone win it all.. Raiders and Giants didn’t stand a chance

Ravens D holding Raiders to 3 points in a AFC game 😂😂😂

Other Raiders fans like to blame the Siragusa hit, but Gannon was already struggling well before that. Gruden stubbornly kept trying to run when there just wasn't anything there without the outside speed threat of Napoleon Kaufman. Raiders should've played up tempo and used their pass catching backs (Terry Kirby and Randy Jordan) against Ray Lewis and Jamie Sharper...that was the only advantage they had and it took until the 4th quarter for Gruden to figure it out.

Woww I didn't know Travis T had a ring with us

This is my palette cleanser for the awful performance the Ravens put up against the Chiefs

What a defense!

I wanted to listen to what Art had to say.

That touchdown starting around the 5:23 mark from Dilfer to Sharpe, Baltimore punched their ticket to the Super Bowl then and there. Wanted the Raiders to win, but you knew that Baltimore Defense was gonna handle their own.

That Ravens defense was so good because they didn’t miss tackles!

Trent Dilfer really is the worst QB to ever win a Super Bowl 😂

I was reading the description about your best defenses but what about the 1990 Eagles?

5:22...the absolute weak link of this team failing as usual as Raiders safeties Marquez Pope and Anthony Dorsett BOTH take completely asinine angles to the ball and allow Shannon Sharpe to basically run untouched for 96 yards. That made NO SENSE. If Dorsett just plays his actual spot, he makes a tackle after a conservative throw to get the Ravens breathing room to punt. Complete shit.

Man, the 1991 Washington was one of the best all around teams I’ve seen. I was too young for the 1985 Chicago Bears. So the 2000 Ravens were the best defense I’ve seen. Seems like out of all these great single season teams the 1991 Washington get forgotten about.

The goose was loose this day.

They dont show the Andre Rison touchdown they took away for a supposed push off.

Man Oakland was loud

Edge and Christian brought me here

Everyone kept picking against the ravens and every time they were wrong. In four postseason games the defense gave up one touchdown! That says it all. The sad thing is that Oakland will soon have no teams in that city. 😊

This game is a perfect example of why Gruden was over rated. Dude might be the most stubborn coach of all time. This Raider team should have won a super bowl, maybe even two in a 4 year stretch

Oh yeah nostalgia this was when the Baltimore Ravens had one of the best defense's in NFL history.Baltimore took Super Bowl 35.Now fast forward to the 2023 NFL season.The road to Super Bowl 58.The Ravens have a good chance to win the AFC.Baltimore won super bowl 35 and super bowl 47.I wouldnt be surprised if they win Super Bowl 58.They will have to beat Kansas City,Cincinnnati,and Buffulo which i think they can beat all 3 of those teams.Its possible and Baltimore is not incapable because they are still a solid football team.

Siragusa is all I can say. We still had a chance with a healthy Gannon. His broken collarbone hindered his throws the rest of his playing time. I’m highly convinced that we would have smoked the Giants in the Superbowl.

9:55 BEN COATES!

I knew the Raiders were going to lose this game the Ravens cornerbacks are too fast for their old receivers

Kinda surprised you didn't show the play that could've helped change the game for the Raiders...after Gannon gets sacked on 2nd down and goal at 9:29, the very next play, he has Randy Jordan wide open in the front of the end zone for a TD, and Jordan dropped it. Would've made it 10-7 and a completely different game strategy wise.

Let's go ravens

IF RAVENS DEFENSIVE TACKLE TONY THE GOOSE SIRAGUSA DIDN'T DO THE BIG BELLY FLOP & PURPOSELY ATTEMPTED TO BREAK RAIDERS QB RICH GANNON'S ARM & SUCCEEDED BECAUSE GANNON HAD TO LEAVE THE 2000 AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME DUE TO AN ARM INJURY & AFTER GANNON GOT KNOCKED OUT THE GAME THE RAIDERS WAS DONE & MY DREAMS OF A SUPER BOWL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CAME CRASHING TO AN END.

I'm a huge Ravens fan, but I've always said that Goose should've been penalized for crushing Gannon.

Justin tucker looking like this BUM!!!

All the Raiders fans had to leave with all their Raiders costumes jingling and jangling. It was funny to think about but having been on the losing side with my beloved Ravens....well....any true fan knows that feeling.

Might have been the most boring NFL Playoff Game I’ve watched in my 40+ Years. Was basically the NFL’s version of hockey’s Trap Defense vs Oakland’s Offense and an inept Offense facing Oakland’s Defense.

“That’s illegal” yeah whatever y’all soft but nice to know the league has been soft for 25 plus years apparently

I always hate Tony Siragusa for this

That's when raiders gotta be the sorriest team just lose a turn baby raiders 4 life.
