A Star is Born During An Epic Rivalry! (Ravens vs. Steelers, 2010 AFC DIV) | NFL Vault Highlights 

For those that don't understand, the games between these two were MUST WATCH football during that era. People were going to get rocked, people were going to get fucked up, and nobody knew who was going to win. Without a doubt, these were the best games of all time.

These teams were so equal at every position it made it a legendary rivalry

The Steelers receiving corp was Ward, Brown, Wallace (huge at this period), Sanders + even Heath Miller?? Insane

Best rivalry in the NFL, as a Steelers fan I have a lot of respect for the Ravens. It’s always a fight till the end.

This was the best rivalry in sports for 10 years.. Man I miss these. I remember this game vividly

Man this gave me nostalgia, I miss this Steelers team 😢

Look at how both QB's got hit many times. Not one roughing the passer call. That was fun to watch! Man do I miss the days when the NFL was actually entertaining to watch.

The NFL need to bring back playoff games like this one.

As a Ravens fan, watching this game again hurts. But damn were the Steelers good back then. I couldn't stand them, but I respected the hell out of them. They were a true powerhouse of a football team. Now they're just a drama show.

When AB was humble " The Bugatti Boys " Wallace, Sanders, & AB " and we had Hines Ward VS ED Reed & Ray Lewis this was EPIC !!!

I remember watching this when I was 9 years old! Dang the memories.

My favorite game of all time. The fans getting into it definitely set the tone.

Ryan Clarke was a great fit for the Steelers as very underrated

I remember watching this game when I was 10 and loved everything about this game, back when Pittsburgh still had an amazing defense, the offense was building into something great, the nastiness of both teams, smash mouth football in the cold January nights, football at its finest 👌🏼 and now it’s a shell of what this single game represented

The game played much better back then. I hate to be cynical, but there are too many pentalies nowadays

Timmons, Harrison and Woodley health,Troy omg

i still remember this exact game. One of the best all times. steelers vs ravens and bears vs packers nothing gets better

I love their game's. It's like a real war out there when these two teams play. Better then any other game's ever played.

Ah the good ol days.

This was good ole fashion football Ravens and Steelers but as a Ravens fan this game hurts me

2010’s was definitely my favorite era in the NFL!

Pass rush on both sides was intense... Pittsburgh came thru with the clutch blitzs at the end tho to seal it

These were really good times. Am a Ravens fan but both teams had so much talent back then. And our matches were usually way better than the Super Bowl. Raising a toast to all the great games we've shared with our Steeler frenemies.

Ward, Miller, Hood, Polamalu, Harrison. Wow, the memories.

Ray lewis and ed reed!! Arguably the greatest duo of all time.

Miss these years. We need this rivalry back

these ravens steelers games are always great

Greg Gumbel's call on this game was absolutely brilliant

I don’t remember too much from this game, but watching this in 2023… holy shit

i was at this game, it was the first football game i ever went to. the moment AB made that sideline helmet catch he became my favorite player

I remember this game. I was so happy...

what good memories :')

One of the GREATEST GAMES I EVER SEEN

This is why I love my Steelers. I'd take this team over any matchup you put in front of us. Still gives me chills watching it.

Back when the steelers still had a great defense

The golden age of football

I will always remember this game . Dad had to go to work and missed the second half. Go Steelers!!!!

I love the poetic justice of Houshmandzadeh choking and sending the Ravens home. His career took a turn for the worst after he disrespected the terrible towel.

One of the best games I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

This ended Houshmenzada's (however he spells his name) career. He never bounced back after that drop

Best Era of football imo shit gives me chills watching these

I was at this game with my dad and it will forever be one of my most favorite games we've ever been to! At halftime, the whole place was dead quiet because the Steelers were looking like they were gonna be one and done, but then the fumbles galore, the comeback, and the AB helmet catch had the stadium LITERALLY bouncing. We were in row A of section 511 and we could see that the whole upper deck was bouncing up and down like there was an earthquake. Then when they played Renegade, OMG...the energy from the crowd was unmatched. The defense was feeding off of it. Houshmandzadeh dropping that ball on 4th down was chef's kiss..Terrible towel curse got him! Then after the Steelers won, we were all chanting "J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!" as we were leaving the stadium because we wanted to see the Jets knock the Patriots out of the playoffs, which they did! LOL...Really sucks that this team couldn't seal the deal and beat the Packers in SB XLV. Haven't had a complete team like the 2010 Steelers since

Rookie AB, damn, who knew what he would become at the time

As a person who isn't a fan of either team, so much fun to watch a close game between 2 great teams with multiple hall of famers on each side.

I never get tired of watching that

That Ray Rice turnover through.......Wow...I forgot AB made that insane catch late in the 4th.

The best rivalry in football and the best channel on RU-vid give me Jay-Z & J Cole vibes 🎶.

Daaaammmmnnnnn we still had Mcgahee and MENDENHALL 🤣🤣 *sigh* I miss our rivalries BEING the most important thing in the reg seasons.

God, I completely forgot what a different beast Playoff Joe was

A classic rivalry game :)

This Steelers team could read each others minds when playing. I have never seen a team in such unison and as 1 organism as the 2005 - 2010 Steelers teams

I miss both of these teams

I wish we still had these elite recievers and the big Ben 10 years ago on the Steelers.

This was the best football ever and best rivalry still is but man it will never be as good as this the game has changed

Good times watching this game I was a junior in college and I remember when The Ravens were up 21-7 and kept saying all the Steelers needed was one turn over to turn the tide. Ray Rice fumbles, which never happens, and the Steelers recovered. From that point on, I knew the game had turned. Classic game and great finish and wouldn't expect anything less in a Steelers Ravens game.

Beautiful

One of if not the best Div game ever!

HOUSHMANZADA will never forget this day...R.I.P

This is grown man football right here!!

Steelers - Ravens were such great games. Football was so physical then, and it wasn't that long ago! Man, did our o-line suck then, they got Ben killed so many times.

Bucs fan but I will always watch these Steelers/Ravens games. Rarely disappoint!

Heck of a game!

Yesss

Also This Is One Of My Favorite Game Between These 2 This Is The Game AB Was 💯

Crazy how many of the players on these rosters went on to shape the 2010’s

imagine that steelers defense with the offense they have now...

As a Packers fan, this was hands down theeee rivalry for me back in the 2000's through 2010. Steelers v Ravens was throwback football.

48 on Steelers office was insane love my Steelers but this match up is always a great game

Palumalu, harrison, woodley, clark, ward, wallace, big ben, reed, rice, flaco, r.lewis, suggs, M.T., J. H. AND MANY MORE MADE THIS THE BEST TIME TO BE A STEELERS OR RAVENS FAN. I BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY 1 PLAYER LEFT BIG BEN, could be wrong. But i no its the only steelers thats left.

I’m sure everyone misses this Steelers team. It was just so fun to watch. Same with the Ravens

The game was “high scoring” but omg the offenses were shut down. The defenses were insane man.

The turnovers were unreal in this game great all around defense.

God, what a football game!

The only player who deserves to blow a game against the Steelers more than Doushmandzadeh is Burfict, and what do you know, he did as well!

I remember these days I miss these two teams the best defenses in the league

Antonio Brown's caliber Rn WITH Ward... Legendary!!!

as much heat Flacco gets, i swear ive seen a few drops in crucial games for him where he was battlin in the playoffs.. i was always scared he was gonna win these games.. and he did a few times.

Wow, really exciting commentary...

Every yard was fought for in these games

Oh those games, one of the reasons I love Steelers, hate but totally respect the Ravens, love that rivalry, both teams grew from that rivalry, and you may say whatever you like, but it's the best rivalry in the NFL...

Best Rivalry In Football I’m A Steelers Fan But Dxmn Sure Respected The Hell Out The Ravens They Always Give Us A Competive Match 💯🐐

Best game I ever been to

Hines Ward was one hell of a football player, got the crap knocked out him catching the ball over the middle & always got up smiling!

we really had Lamar Woodley and James Harrison on the edges wow just shed some tears

Monday night were on!!!!

I'd say that primetime game between these 2 teams when McNair was QB of the ravens is when A Star Is Born with the game James Harrison had that night

As an steelers fan, what tremendous player was Todd heap, very underrated, sad what happened with his daughter

2 great teams, and one of the hottest rivalries that continues today. Go Steelers!!!

As a steeler fan or a ravens fan, we all understand the hate, but we have respect for how fierce both defenses were during the years. Absolutely grit football at its best.

Something happened to Baltimore. They went from being the "Charlie" Browns to being Pittsburgh II in their play. As a lifelong Pittsburgh fan, I love the *Grudge Match* rivalry.

2:55 Rice truck sticking Polamalu making it look like light work

Remember this game, was right when it felt like Baltimore could never get past Pittsburgh or Indy before they got to the Big One. I was really pissed off how they blew that lead and with all of those drops by Houshmandzadeh and Boldin

As a Steelers fan I wasn’t even mad if we lost in these games with the ravens. As long as they were this competitive and close in score, I was happy.

Steelers D was really underated. The unit mad 3 Superbowl Appearances. At DB u had Troy,ike At LB u had Farrior, Harrison and Woodley they kept the D intact for those 3 runs from 2005 to 2010

Pittsburgh Steelers was member AFC Central Division 1970 through 1993 era

2008 afc championship was my favorite, ravens got 2 free pass interference calls that gave them first and goal at the 1 and still blew it

11:25 Essex was like 6'5" 324lbs, Mendenhall had to be feeling that one after he got pushed in like that

Only a Steelers fan who watched every game can appreciate how many times Hines Ward got a huge first down on third and long. Same thing with Heath Miller.

Steelers-Ravens is not only the best rivalry in the NFL, it is the best rivalry in sports. Period, worldwide, idc what anyone says

These teams are mirrors of each other.
