An Epic Finish in an Epic Rivalry! (Ravens vs. Titans 2000, Week 11) 

A turning point in Ravens history. If they lost this game and fell to 6-5, who knows what happens.

We missed the boat on creating the "Is Trent Dilfer elite" meme. Also, everyone lauds the 2000 Ravens for their defense (and rightly so), but Shannon Sharpe was unbelievably important to what little offense we had. SKIUP

Titans defense was significantly underrated that season. They were overshadowed by Baltimore's historic defense, and because they actually had a competent offense with the likes of Steve McNair and Eddie George, but they only allowed 11.9 points per game that year. You could easily argue that this team was better than the 1999 team that made the Super Bowl

Ravens Titans Rivalry was super hot in the 2000s. Maybe it'll become a new thing in the 2020s.

RIP Steve McNair 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

It's a pity this rivalry was cut short by the realignment.

2000 ravens are hands down, one of the greatest defenses ever

Kearse was an absolute monster. But that Raven's D was good too.

Lets hope we can stop Derrick Henry sunday. Also rip Steve Mcnair🙏

RIP Steve McNair

Titans: We've never lost at home! Ravens: Hi

There’s just something with titans and ravens beating each other on their home field. 2000 ravens beat the Titans in Tennessee in the playoffs. 2003 titans beat ravens in Baltimore in the wild card round. 2008 ravens beat titans in divisional round in Tennessee. And last year titans beating ravens in Baltimore.

15:41 Cleveland and Cincinatti at the bottom of the division.. Some things never change😂

Dick Enberg made the NFL in the early 2000's legendary.

Back when the Titans and Ravens were division rivals in the AFC Central and there were only 3 divisions in each conference.

Can we get more of the CBS graphic opening at the beginning of these games please? I miss the old theme music.

It's crazy how good the AFC was in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. Every division had at least 2 good teams every season. No surprise that the team with the most wins (Colts) and most Super Bowls (Patriots) came from the AFC.

This was such a great rivalry in the early-2000’s. Their playoff matchup later that season was quite possibly one of the most physical games I ever saw. You could feel the hatred both teams had.

Eddie George vs Ray Lewis? U knew it was gonna be a battle 💯

I remember getting home from church and watching this. It felt like a gut punch when the titans lost the first home game at the Adelphia.

That Jamal Lewis play may be the weirdest fumble I've ever seen

Man I didn’t know Brandon stokley played for this ravens team and won a SB If I’m right he’s won 2 SBs right?

Back when football was still a man's game! I loved the NFL in the early 2000's

jeez field goal/extra point trouble for the Titans the same problem that would come back to haunt them when they would face the Ravens again in the playoffs that year a game you can find here on NFL Throwback

The last run by McNair was clutch, except that it was all for nothing

Kearse was that dude for Tennessee

Lewis and Holmes in the backfield.. sheesh..

Del Greco wanted no parts of that last kick you could see it all on his face‼️😂

The AFC Central was no joke.

Man the good ole AFC Central,regardless who won,these was the best 2 teams in the NFL that year and Derrick Mason was a very underrated WR from 2000-2005 and fun fact this was the last game the Ravens would come close to losing,the wouldn’t lose no more on their way to the Super Bowl and idc what anyone says Al Del Greco got paid,he pulled that same shit in the playoffs

People hate on Jeff Fisher too much. He lead a pretty decent Titans team in the early 2000s. They should’ve won that SB against the rams

Will never forget that year or season. Go Ravens.

I was only 7 years old when this game was played, but I still vividly remember the heartbreak when Al Del Greco missed that kick.

It’s crazy how the Ravens Titans rivalry never died really after the division realignment. The home (better record team) is always knocked out of the playoffs 😩 01 Titans number one seed knocked out by Ravens 04 Ravens beaten at home by Old Man Anderson field goal 09 Ravens beat the 13-3 Titans, 13-10 20 Last season Tannehill and Henry shock the 14-2 Ravens at home

Y’all have the best highlights, seriously👑

RIP Air McNair

The Titans were an absolutely worthy opponent.....the Ravens only allowed 165 points all season, and Tennessee hung 23 on them in this single game. And with that defense (criminally underrated), they'd have hoisted the Lombardi any other season of the early 2000's.

This was my sophomore year in HS. PHS pontotoc ms

They later met in the playoffs at the same stadium where the Titans also lost

Got any ‘07 Steelers jags games queued up for this week?

What is game. Legends on both ends. RIP #9

People forget how good that Titans team was that year, one year removed from the super bowl they came 1 yard short of possibly winning. They were absolute super bowl contenders but they lost at home in the playoffs to arguably the greatest single season defense in NFL history led by arguably the greatest defensive player and leader in NFL history, Raymond Anthony Lewis Jr.

Crazy how McNair and mason would soon be on the ravens hell even Lorenz O’Neil too

What an incredible game. Both teams played their hearts out.

It's hard to blame just one player for a team game, but kicker Al Del Greco sunk Tennessee's season with a nightmare game here and in the playoff rematch.

Trent Dilfer was with our team then got rid of him then goes to Super Bowl. We had a few quarterbacks to go to other teams then go SB. And now we have a quarterback has been to many times to the SB and he will do it again. Then we can rub it in your face Y'all know who I don't have to name names. 'YOUR NOT MAD BRO'

Nice choice considering these two are playing each other this weekend.

The fourth down/time management decision making is unconscionable

Look at this qb play we have compared to what we have today. There is no comparison. These guys struggle to get 5 yards. McNair every play 3 step drop dump off lol

That must have been the only game ever decided by Al Del Greco missing two very makable kicks.

Steelers/Titans, Ravens/Titans rivalry sadly disappeared when the divisions realigned in 2002. Those were some underrated rivalries

*Has Super Bowl XXV flashbacks* 😔

I remember in America’s Game that someone, not saying anyone from the Titans, stole Trent Dilfer’s playbook and managed to give the Ravens a challenge in the Divisional Round

Imo there are some seasons where one particular rivalry/matchup essentially defines that entire season… even more so than that year’s Super Bowl. Think 49ers/cowboys, patriots/colts… this rivalry between the ravens and titans is absolutely up there. This matchup and then the divisional round showdown was some great football.

Wasn't this the game where they stole the ravens playbook? Well according to Dilfer if you've watched the episode of america's game the 2000 ravens.

The sun rising in the east, setting in the west, and Al Del Greco doinking off the uprights.

The first down markers wasn't on tv yet? Wow thought they were

Poor Al Del Greco. But I guess it didn't matter since the Titans still got the number one seed, and lost at home to the Ravens in the playoffs. Anyway, I personally think this is the best team in Titans history even if they didn't make it past the divisional round. Their defense was historically good for their franchise, but usually forgotten since Baltimore had an historic all time season themselves. But at least folks got to see three good games that year between the two. The entire competition in the league was so lackluster in 2000, especially in the NFC. The Ravens/Titans were clearly at the top followed by the Raiders. Every other team had some glaring hole. Anyway, I miss the AFC South.

War damn Eagle 🦅 and this was iron bowl type intensity!

Bruh this game was played in 2000 and i still though dilfer was Lamar Jackson

15:50 my favorite play on defense Gives me chill being behind or tied at the end of a game

RIP Steve McNair those Titans teams were tough back in the day

The old Ravens v Jags or Titans rivalries are severely underrated today from back then. (Not spoken about as much)

Why isn't the Titans fanbase always like this.

Easily one of the best out of division rivalries

Watching Javon Kearse gives me goosebumps

RIP to F.W. #89 Tennessee & 98 for Baltimore T.S

2000 Titans defense was better than the Ravens defense! There, I said it

A matchup of the 2 best teams in the NFL in 2000. These defenses are 2 of the best of all time. Ray ray vs. The Freak

I was at that game. If the kicker hadn’t flubbed it three times might have ended differently

The game where Al Del Greco lost his touch. Used to be “automatic Al” but this along with the later playoff game ruined him.

As a Titan fan it is so hard to believe Mcnair and Mason playing for the ravens.

RIP STEVE MCNAIR!

Steve McNair vs Trent Dilfer, a battle between two underrated quarterbacks R.I.P McNair

DelGreco probably thought he couldn't have had a worst game. But guess what was about to happen in the playoff game against the Ravens down the line! Ravens should have given him a superbowl ring too

damn i know del greco had a rough week that week 😂

Dang you got Shannon Sharpe, Brandon Stokely, Ismael, Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes....and Trent Dilfer? I mean really this should've been a dynasty with that no nonsense Ravens defense. But with Dilfer at the helm you gat how many rings out of this team???

Yo can you guys do 2013 AFC championship? that one gets no coverage, and there's no good highlights on YT for that. Yall make insanely crisp and well edited videos, would love to see that.

Baltimore kept recovering their own fumbles. It was uncanny.

21:29 - He pulled a Gostowski right there

I had a business in Birmingham Alabama and Al Delgreco was one of my customers……he knew I was a Ravens fan, but I felt bad for him after this loss…..

Kearse!! Dude really was a freak

I absolutely love the 2000 Ravens defense, so I won't knock them. And, full disclosure, when I cared about football I was a Broncos fan. I can't decide if the 2015 Broncos Defense are better than the 2000 Ravens Defense. This game proves what I've always said: Baltimore had a great defense. BUT GOOD TEAMS COULD SCORE ON THEM. They faced Brian Griese, Steve McNair, The Guy who replaced Rich Gannon, and Kerry Collins in the playoffs. Yes, they shut them all down, good for you. The Broncos played in the modern game with modern safety rules that make it impossible to shut teams down. Still, they had playoff games against Big Ben, Brady, and MVP Super Cam. They held them to 14.6 points per game, with an offense that couldn't score in a Tijuana Brothel. THAT was a truly dominant defense.

Y’all see that? It happened again 😭 Man I can’t handle these Games

Imagine Titans, Ravens, Steelers, and Colts in the same division, that would be some must watch football

Here we are again These dudes man This rivalry has definitely shortened the lives of its fans 😫

Dilder really could make some excellent throws. Not a bad QB.✌️🇺🇲

Stokley, WOW, forgot he was that old

Thank you Al Delgreco

Could you imagine this 2000 Ravens defense with Ed Reed?

ray/ravens vs Eddie/Titans was like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object . Just a clash of titans! ...Also a rivalry few remember.

Al Del Greco was automatic before to this game

20 Years Ago

People fail to realize that 2000 titans defense was #1 in the league… #3 all time in points allowed behind the ravens and bears.. it shows how bad the AFC central teams were offensively

For those who don't know the full game for this is on the ravens channel under 25 greatest ravens games and for some reason that's the only way you can pull it up

Al Del Greco screwed up the Titans chances for the Super Bowl that year. That Tennessee team should’ve won the super bowl in ‘01!

That kicker

TITANUP!!!

Del Grecos missed extra point attempt doomed him and the Titans this year. He single handedly cost Tennessee a Super Bowl with all the missed field goals he had in the playoff game vs Baltimore that year. I forgot that he blew the regular season game in the same fashion. Wow. Steve McNair was a superbowl QB.

Should have picked the 2006 game
