Big Ben's First Clutch Comeback! (Steelers vs. Cowboys 2004, Week 6) 

I love the fact that Cowher told the rookie Roethlisberger to relax, there’s plenty of time to get this score for the win in the 2-minute drill

Went to this game with my wife, who is a Dallas fan. The crowd that day was almost 50/50. It was unreal. One of the Cowboys was interviewed on the local news that night about it, and he said, “Now we know how the Cardinals feel when we go to Arizona.”

Little did Jim Nantz know he would end up being CBS colleagues with Steelers coach Bill Cowher and Cowboys backup quarterback Tony Romo

The Steelers/Cowboys rivalry always puts in a great show for the world, great find.

The 2020 game between cowboys and steelers was a strong deja vu of this game almost same score and Big Ben leaving the game with a kind of injury man almost the same game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and playing down to competition; name a better duo

The game where I realized Bill Cowher finally had a franchise QB.

Steeler fan here...I was there with my best friend, a Cowboys fan. Great game! A Steeler home game, basically 😆

A very underrated and forgotten rivalry by most except for Steelers and Cowboy fans. Every game it seems like in order to win, one team has to bring their team back in the 4th quarter.

One of my favorite days as a Steelers fan who grew up in TX. I was there. Last Steelers/Cowboys game in the old Texas Stadium. SO MANY Steelers fans there the Cowboys were saying post-game they couldn't tell it was a home game. I also remember the Cowboys fans in the stands talking mad smack when they were ahead. As soon as the Steelers got within a TD, they got QUIET. Church mouse quiet. Steelers fans stayed loud and rowdy throughout and ran the Cowboys fans out of the stadium after the victory. Ben certainly played a role in this comeback, but just like most games early in his career, the Steelers defense made all the stops to allow for a comeback.

3:18 Jim Nantz having trouble with Polamalu like Kendrick Perkins did with Moses Moody

Love how they couldn’t pronounce Troy Polamalu 😂

This rivalry is one of the best in NFL history

I cant believe how fast the Dallas running backs are. And Vinny Testaverde has a really accurate arm. He throws it like a paper airplane, it just glides right in there.

The Cowboys & Steelers games over the recent years have NEVER disappointed. Those games went right down to the wire 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and even last year.

You know the game is old when the broadcaster sounds like a fish out of water trying to pronounce Polamalu lol

That lost was the only lost the Steelers had that year and Big Ben had the opportunity to become the first rookie QB to win a super bowl. Unfortunately that opportunity went down the drain when they faced the Pats once again in the AFC Championship.

Lovely find! Even though we lost that game, it was the beginning of a new era in the nfl

I miss Texas Stadium, not really a AT&T stadium fan

That was some fine sportsmanship between Hines Ward and the defender

Perfect timing for pre season

I remember watching this with a friend who was a cowboys fan and said Ben had no chance to win... needless to say I enjoyed this game

FOOTBALL IS BACK GUYS!!!

Not a Steelers fan but they’re going completely under the radar this year & will surprise a lot of people when they’re in the playoff mix once again.

I'm a Steelers fan, and went to this game. Incredible game to go to! VonOlehoffen rumbling down the sideline.... Steelers fans were going nuts!!!

Had the Cowboys held onto their leads in both the Eagles game in Week 15, the Steelers game in Week 6, and the week 17 game against the Giants, they would’ve been 9-7 and would’ve had the 5th seed in the NFC playoffs and would’ve faced the Seahawks in the wild card round instead of the Rams…this 2004 Cowboys team was loaded with a mix of young and veteran talent and the team simply underachieved during this year. Even an old Vinny Testaverde was playing pretty well in this season as the Cowboys QB. Too many blown leads and opportunities…

Plaxico Burress was very underrated with the Steelers and Giants.

Cowher's only visit to Texas Stadium

Ayo big Thanks and respect to Jim nantz for always giving us great football games all these years. Wouldn’t be the same without his voice on sundays.

October 17, 2004, the day this game took place, was two days before the very day I was born...

Keyshawn, Glenn, Testaverde, George, Bettis, Staley, this game feels so 90s

17 Years Ago

FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY!!!!!

The young 🐐🐐🐐

Ben Roethlisberger just doesn’t take no for an answer.

Rip terry glenn

I refuse to believe that this was in HD back in 2004. Either that or the screen was widened to fit the screen

That was a special season. Big Ben was slingin’ it, O-line blocked hard, the Duece Staley was a wrecking ball & the WRs did all they could to catch & run hard. You can see the effort.

I remember this game

Greatest AFC/NFC and Super Bowl rivals

Hey NFL Throwback, just wondering if you got around to making highlights of that 1987 Cardinals Buccaneers game? Not tryna be annoying... 👉👈

Steelers first win over the Cowboys since 1988.

That game was played in Irving Texas but that was a Steelers home game Our fan base took over that parking lot and the stadium, the Cowboys players were pissed. At times Vinny actually had to use a silent count in the shotgun.

Damn Ben was Lean, in his rookie season.

1 hour till kickoff baby!!

That guy Troy Polamua looks like he’s going to be special.

Was at that game! 50% were Steelers fan!

Man I miss these days

I forgot how Duce Staley was balling with The Steelers...

Jim Nantz: Troy Pola - Polumuaa?? 🤣🤣🤣

2004 a great year

Let gooooo another banger throwback game

Who would have thought at the time Big Ben would still be going strong on the same team 17 years later . And the cowboys have had a grand total of 1 playoff win since this game. The cowboys have had the most mediocre team in pro football the last 20 years literally right on the dot. I’m a Steelers fan and I never understood why the media hates Big Ben so much his career has definitely been downplayed for years now. No question a top 10 QB in history by stats alone!!!

Polamalu. That dude was ridiculous. As was Ben.

You don't see that type of physicality in the nfl anymore dam rule changes it's so crazy watching how physical it was seeing no flags thrown 😱

Man, I'm always a little depressed when I see Parcells with the Cowboys. Jerry Jones lost patience with him and he had to deal with a headache named T.O. a couple years after this game. He waited too long to pull the trigger on Romo (and i'm not making that up as Dat Nguyen said in an article that he had conversations with Parcells where he said that was his biggest regret in Dallas) and lastly, the game was starting to pass him by. That said, it's kinda cool how you got connections all over the place as Cowher would end up being a CBS colleague of Nantz and Romo would end up becoming his color guy and changing the way an analyst functions on broadcasts (sometimes not all positively IMO)

Ben was soo good.

My son and I were at that game. We predicted Testaverde would be sacked and fumble for us to win the game.

Deuce Staley was an absolute STUD in this game, helping a Rookie QB. Must have been left over malice from Eagles/Cowboys. Deuce......Really Solid Pro!

The good old days before targeting even though I still love the current NFL and my Packers!

Antwaan saving that Ike fumble in the 3rd quarter was incredible hustle

Great editing.

When football was actually football. Sad to see football turn into the WWE.

Wow I had no idea Eddie George played for the cowboys. Terrance Newman Duce Staley and terry glenn were all underrated players in this game. Wow this game is EARRIELY similar to the game just last year in 2020 strange.

COACH COWHER SUCH A GREAT COACH SURE WISH WE HAD HIM BACK AND WISH HE COULD HAVE COACHED BEN LONGER THAN 3 YEARS

I think this game should've happened in 2005 because the NFL should've redid the interconference rotation like this: 2002,2006,2010,2014,2018,2022 AFC East vs NFC East (Patriots,Dolphins,Jets,Bills vs Eagles,Redskins,Giants,Cowboys) AFC North vs NFC West (Steelers,Ravens,Browns,Bengals vs Rams,49ers,Seahawks,Cardinals) AFC South vs NFC South (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Buccaneers,Saints,Falcons,Panthers) AFC West vs NFC North (Raiders,Broncos,Chiefs,Chargers vs Bears,Packers,Vikings,Lions) 2003,2007,2011,2015,2019,2023 AFC East vs NFC North (Jets,Patriots,Dolphins,Bills vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions) AFC North vs NFC South (Steelers,Browns,Ravens,Bengals vs Buccaneers,Falcons,Saints,Panthers) AFC South vs NFC East (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Eagles,Giants,Redskins,Cowboys) AFC West vs NFC West (Raiders,Broncos,Chargers,Chiefs vs 49ers,Rams,Seahawks,Cardinals) 2004,2008,2012,2016,2020,2024 AFC East vs NFC South (Patriots,Dolphins,Bills,Jets vs Panthers,Saints,Buccaneers,Falcons) AFC North vs NFC North (Ravens,Bengals,Steelers,Browns vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions) AFC South vs NFC West (Colts,Titans,Jaguars,Texans vs Rams,Seahawks,49ers,Cardinals) AFC West vs NFC East (Chiefs,Broncos,Raiders,Chargers vs Eagles,Cowboys,Redskins,Giants) 2005,2009,2013,2017,2021,2025 AFC East vs NFC West (Patriots,Jets,Bills,Dolphins vs Seahawks,Rams,Cardinals,49ers) AFC North vs NFC East (Steelers,Ravens,Bengals,Browns vs Eagles,Giants,Cowboys,Redskins) AFC South vs NFC North (Colts,Jaguars,Texans,Titans vs Packers,Vikings,Lions,Bears) AFC West vs NFC South (Chargers,Broncos,Chiefs,Raiders vs Falcons,Saints,Panthers,Buccaneers)

3:18 so weird hearing an announcer not being able to pronounce his last name correctly

Will you be uploading the rest of Cowboys Hard Knocks?

Steelers fans: how special would it have been for our team to win it all this season? Yes, we did win it the next season for Jerome’s final season but winning it during bens rookie run would’ve been incredible.

Imo this Steelers team was better than 2005 sb winner

How do you not love Kimo Von Olhaufen??? The big fat belly, the hair, jersey number 67….best kind of lineman

Wish I was this old again ...

I do not remember Eddie George playing for Dallas, not in the least.

I wouldn't exactly say that's a clutch comeback, but it was a great game. I've been a Steelers fan since the early 90s and boy do I miss some of those great teams they had. I look forward to their future and who will be their starting quarterback next year. Ben, we love you! See you in the HOF!

The late Mr. Terry Glenn. RIP.

Year 2 Polamalu was still everywhere

I like how last week they show a Cowboys-Steelers game where Dallas wins and this week they show a game where baby face Roethlisberger helps beat Dallas.

49 of these later and here we are.

NFL's original "America's Team" defeat the Cowboys.

We should have won number 6 and went back to back steeler nation

Testerverde has one of the pretty balls in nfl history not even kidding I know he's no fall of famer. But that ball just comes out perfect everytime.

I was at that game. What a great finish

Ben was a bill parcels type of Quarterback

Man I totally forgot about EG becoming a Cowboy.

Any game when you can crush the Cowboys, or the Raiders, or the Ravens is a good day.

ohhhhhh im a cowboooooy . wish they had music like that today when they score

damn I remember these terrible times as a cowboys fan. Testaverde lol

The good old days

I don’t see how this could be considered a comeback by Roethlisberger. It was obviously Pittsburg’s defence that made the comeback

He played against vinny T! Spanning eras here

Crazy to think there was a time when people didnt know Troy's name. @3:16

Cowboy vs Steelers The GAME

Where's the HD broadcast

Idk why but I miss that CBS scoreboard

Big Ben is underrated

This wasn’t a night game was it? I was 8 during this game and I kinda remember it. But I also remember being dark out. Just wondering…

Vinny did the best he could that year.

3:20 tf did Jim nantz say?? Already 2 years in the league at this point and can't even say his name right lmaooo

Can someone bring back the Burress mouthpiece hooked on the chinstrap please!???

3:18 lol
