3rd Time is Not the Charm! (Titans vs. Jaguars 1999, AFC Championship) 

Strange that the Jaguars went 15-0 vs. the rest of the NFL, but 0-3 against the Titans. A week earlier the Jaguars won the most lopsided playoff game over the last 80 years, beating the Dolphins 62-7 in Dan Marino's final NFL game.

Crazy how much success both the Carolina and Jacksonville expansion teams experienced in their first 10 years as franchises.

Again, one of my favorite eras of NFL. I love every bit of it. RIP Mr. McNair.

The 90's Jaguars with those absolutely amazing uniforms.

15-0 vs everyone else and 0-3 vs the Titans has to be the most insane sports stat I’ve ever seen. It’s still hard to believe

I wish the Jaguars still had those unis

1999 was the wildest, wackiest season in recent memory. No San Francisco, Dallas, Green Bay, Denver , Pittsburgh. Etc Rams, Bucs, Titans, Jags as the final 4 says it all. It truly was a fun season and you had to have lived through it to feel the insane parity.

One of my favorite statistical oddities. The 1999 Jags went 0-3 against the Titans and 15-0 against everyone else.

Titans produced tons of magic with the Music City Miracle and had their cinderella run fall just one yard short in Super Bowl XXXIV!

I've rarely seen a game with so many fumbles, especially in pristine weather.

That safety & return right after that was the turning point of this game

RIP to McNair!!! What a leader!!

Loved the AFC Championship logo and the Jags' logo midfield

Man, McNair was just a different type of player. He could be hit by three defenders and still stay up. What a tough and elusive quarterback. RIP Titans legend!

The '99 Jags...one of the best teams to never win it all.

I grew up a Bronco fan in the 90s, so when the Jags pulled one of the greatest upsets in history to beat the #1 seed Broncos we all thought, this little expansion team isn't even on our level. It only reaffirmed that position in '97 when I felt like the eventual champion Broncos curbstomped them in the Wild Card. In retrospect, those were some damned good Jags teams. In the 1997 playoffs, they almost came back to beat Denver. And in '99, they only lost to one team all year--a smashmouth team, much like the 97-98 Broncos. They were a great mix of young Turks and crafty vets, and I'm not as bitter about the 1996 Broncos losing to them. They didn't take Jacksonville seriously either, and like the old boxing adage says, that's when an opponent is a serious threat.

LONG LIVE THE AFC CENTRAL. Thank you for the upload. Loved those Jeff Fisher/McNair Titans squads from 1999 to 2003. Thinking back, it was pretty remarkable how Tennessee went from NFL nomads via the Houston Oilers to AFC champs in such a short time frame. As for the Jaguars, this was their best team in franchise history, and they haven't had a team as good since. Just couldn't get past Tennessee despite going 14-2. Bonkers. I even think this team was better talent wise than the two Giants teams that Coughlin fielded that won Super Bowls. Obviously, talent doesn't always win out.

RIP Steve McNair Boy, did he have some serious pocket awareness and escapability!

McNair was a magician at times...god he was tough. Steelers fan who faced him twice a year for awhile.

That Jaguars team when they first came into the league was so talented, 2 conference championship games in a 4 year span, but they couldn’t get over the hump and get to the Super Bowl. Just think about how some guys legacies would’ve changed had they gotten to there.

Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell, and Fred Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

The 99 Jags team was one of the greatest I've ever personally seen. Just so happens they couldn't beat Tennessee at all! 14-2 regular season, only 2 losses to the Titans. The championship game they meet again and as you see, the same outcome!

Man, there were so many backbreaking mistakes by the Jaguars in this game.

This game took place a long time ago, but the crazy thing is, Tom Brady was drafted less than three months after this game took place. That’s how long he’s been in the league. That’s insane.

This game must've been painful for Jags fans. Not just for losing to same team a third time in the same season, but with Tennessee being the *only* team that beat Jacksonville that year.

I loved both these teams soooo much it was really hard to see one lose here. What a game!!

Those Jacksonville uniforms were beautiful.

Wow, this takes me back. The Jags really have seen some amazing players come and go over the years.

Could Imagine Houston Oilers Against Expansion Jacksonville Season Opener New Chapter In 1994 AFC Central Division Rivalry Thanks For Uploading

LOL the title is hilarious 💀

Those early jags teams with jimmy smith and Fred Taylor where good asf sucks they never got to a bowl

It's crazy cause the Jags were coming off of destroying the Dolphins 62-7 in the divisional round.

Hopefully someday the Jags will go to the Super Bowl

Steve McNair was just different 💯 I watched him cook Temple when he played for Akron & from there I knew he would be elite

both teams' uniforms clean af

This was before the Titans came one yard short of winning the Super Bowl against the then St. Louis Rams

Aw man how I missed these Titans players. Grew up being a Tennessee Titans fan. I was sad when they lost the Super Bowl against the Rams. I'm still a fan til this day, but hopefully they can pull off a win today but if not, then maybe next season

Image if the Jacksonville Jaguars won that Superbowl in 1999-2000 NFL season they would've been one of the greatest Superbowl teams in NFL history but Tennessee Titans found away to beat Jags 3 times

Crazy how they only lost to 1 team that season but lost 3 games...and this was right after sending Marino into retirement after a 62-7 blowout

In all my years of watching football, this has to be my favorite conference championship matchup. Two very likable teams with underrated great players that had never won a chip and won games in very different ways.

The Jacksonville Jaguars went 14-3 99-00 season all three losses are to the Tennessee Titans 😞.

I Love This Video 📸 NFL Throwback 🏈 Great Job 👍 Keep Up The Good Work.

those afc championship logos were fresh as hell

I simply Can't believe the Jaguars were this good their 1st few yrs in the NFL

I still think about this loss from time to time because as a Jaguars fan this season even more so then our 2017 season was our best chance to win a Super Bowl and the fact that we lost to the Titans 3 times in one year and the last two games being blow outs still get's me salty even til this day. The Titans even now still pretty much own my Jaguars regardless of whose playing but this season was just the beginning of things to come. This was just a good old fashion beat down from big brother to little brother

For wildcard weekend can you do Bills vs Dolphins 92 AFC Championship Game which was unfortunately Dan Marino final Conference Game appearance. 49ers vs Seahawks 13 NFC Championship Game aka Richard Sherman's " Don't you ever talk about me" rant lol. Do either 93 Vikings vs Giants Wildcard Round which was LT and Phil Simms final playoff win of their careers or the 97 Wildcard Game with Vikings and Giants with the infamous Giants fight on their sidelines

It's crazy they beat us 3 times that year that's the reason why my grandma hate the titans 😭 and the jags only loses that year came to the titans 🤦🏾

1999 Jaguars go 14-2 best record in the NFL...but those two losses were against the Titans..then lost to them again here in this game finished 15-3 ..jags went 0-3 vs TEN

They need to bring Back AFC-NFC Championship logos @ Midfield

Rest In Peace Steve Mcnair 🙏

I went to this game as a teenager. This game definitely set our franchise on a death spiral. The Titans curse was finally broken a few weeks ago, thank God.

Games like this is why I'm betting the titans ! And I miss the 90s this was when I was in 3rd grade !!!

McNair was a magician

The 1999 Jaguars went 0-3 against the Titans and 15-0 against everyone else they faced. The Titans defense forced the same number of turnovers (13) in 3 games as the Jaguars other 15 opponents combined. More than 35 percent of the points allowed that season by Jacksonville were scored by the Titans. Jacksonville scored less than 20 points 6 times all season. They did so in all 3 games vs Tennessee.

I loved the late 90s early 2000s football

I’m a diehard jags fan , I literally can’t stomach to watch this game , we should of been going against the rams in The Super Bowl

I have a Brunell Jersey

Rest in peace Air Mcnair

Liked those Jaguars teams in the late 90's

RIP MCNAIR eagles fan but this was one of my favorite teams around this era

RIP McNair,my favorite QB of all time and imagine if the Titans in 1998 draft Randy Moss instead of Kevin Dyson..

@NFL Throwback when will you guys post the full game again?

Damn, this was one of those most entertaining games I've ever watched.

We were the only team to beat the Jags in 99. 14-2 (beat them twice in the regular season) and then we beat them in this game to go to the SB. So awesome :) #titanup

I wish I was alive to to see this titans team. They looked fun to watch.

@NFLVault you guys should do the 1998 Bills vs Dolphins next ahead of next week's wildcard match up. Crazy Game.

To be fair, if the jaguars faced the rams in the Super Bowl, they probably would’ve lost too.

great game McNair ran great

Rip frank wychek 😢😢😢

Now that the playoffs are set, one of the throwback games you should post is the wild card matchup between the Bills and Dolphins from 1998.

PLEASE post the 62-7 divisional round game for this week.

Hey ummm NFL Throwback you guys used to have this full game up on RU-vid but now it's disappeared. You mind putting it back up here. Thanks.

It had to hurt bad to have the first seed, putting both Johnson and Marino into retirement in the divisional 63-7, just for all of that to end losing against the Titans.....

Fred Taylor was a beast! Fast, strong, incredible balance, good pass blocker, no wonder he gave opposing D-Coordinators nightmares

Jacksonville needs to bring back the big PLAYOFFS logo at midfield if they get a home playoff game this season. That was dope.

I was 9 when this game was played but looking at these highlights closely it really looks as if Jacksonville gave this game away. Not taking anything away from McNair at all (R.I.P) but they had him several times & showed no effort to tackle him

Miss the 1pm/10 am & 4 pm/1 pm starts of the Conference Championship games. Totally understand why they start the games later.

Coughlin knew it at half-time, that endzone interception and fumbled punt return were going to come back to haunt the Jags

Jags are probably the most underrated team of the 90s by my memory. They had some very solid teams for a large amount of those years.

I remember the comeback the Titans had against Buffalo the game before and I was absolutely sick. I did not want to see the Titans again after losing to them twice already and them being the only 2 losses on the year. I knew going into that game it would be a loss they had Jax number that year.

DUUUUUVAAAAL

The only team that beat Jacksonville that year and one of two teams to keep the Jaguars from the Superbowl

The look on Conklin's face at 10:28 when he realized the Jags were actually going to lose

How can I go back a watch the old titan seasons wish I could

"Air McNair." 🙏

D - MASE!

This playoff run really gave Jeff fisher a whole career.

Sweet 2 end the Titans season 2022 season !! Go Jaguars 🐆 !!

That 99 Jaguars team was so talented. Mark Brunell, Fred Taylor, Tony Baccelli, Jimmy Smith were among the most underrated all time to play their positions. They absolutely annihilated Jimmie Johnson and Dan Marino’s dolphins the week before in what would be Marino’s final game played and Jimmie Johnson’s final game coached. I was actually rooting for Jacksonville to get to the Super Bowl because I thought them against the Rams would’ve been an excellent Super Bowl from an entertainment standpoint. But as great of a team as you are, some teams just simply have your number, and that of course was tough, resilient Tennessee Titans led by the late great Steve McNair and Eddie George.

man , Steve McNair was a tank

23 Years Ago

NFL Throwback needs to do Steve McNair human highlights

That's a lot of fumbles

Mark Brunell was such an exciting player. I’m so glad he has a super bowl ring after those two tough afc championship game losses.

The End of a great story in the NFL. The rise of the Expansion Jaguars. Four consecutive playoff appearances. Two Division titles. Two conference championship games. And just like that, it was over.

What did they do to the ball before the game? How many turnovers was that?

1:20 that’s a terrible call.

Its a beautiful day in Jacksonville, Florida WHY TF ARE THERE SO MANY TURNOVERS

Man, the Jags could have had a bigger lead without a couple drops and an INT in the end zone...could have been up 24-7 and 24-10 at halftime.......made a huge difference in the game obviously. Steve McNair, my god, how many times did he get away and make a play. Jags fell apart in the second half with mistakes.

I never knew Kyle Brady played for another team besides the Jets. I only know him as the guy that Jets fans didn’t want drafted when they were chanting for Warren Sapp.
