MAJOR Playoff Implications! (Jets vs. Ravens 2000, Week 17) 

The Jets actually gained 524 yards against this historic defense. But they also had 6 turnovers. Goes to show how yards are a meaningless stat.

This was a huge game for Jermaine Lewis, who was still grieving over the loss of his stillborn son. Two punt returns for a TD in a single game is rare, and that young man put the team on his back for a big win.

For those that don't know, those two punt return TDs gave me chills. The return man, Jermaine Lewis, lost his newborn son Geronimo a week or two before this game, and he followed it up with that performance. He pointed up to his son on both plays. He won us that game. One of the most heartfelt moments in football history, and its rarely mentioned. We love you J Lew #ravensflock #biggerthanfootball

Imagine pairing the 2019 Ravens offense with 2000 defense.

Me: I want too see highlights from games I don't know about. NFL Throwback: Yes.

Wayne Chrebet and Curtis Martin, consistency personified 🔥

Wayne Chrebet!! I will always remember him for playing with no gloves on. In some of the worst conditions ever. And that's not even mentioning he was tiny. So much respect for the tiny wr. Like Tory Brown. Thanks for this throwback!

The 2000 Ravens legendary defense and Special teams won them the super bowl.

15:40 -- The smile of a man who knows he did the right thing by getting his team the hell out of Cleveland.

After Sam Madison and Patrick Sutrain. Chris McAllister and Daune Starks were one of my favorite corner back duos. And that's not even mentioning the Ravens had Rod Woodson!

As exceptional as our defense has been throughout the years, this 2000 Ravens defense will likely always be the very best.

The Jets buttfumbled by collapsing after a 6-1 start

Curtis Martin is surely one of the most underrated RB's to ever play. Same to Corey Dillon.

Wayne Chrebet is a guy who was just so clutch for a number of years. He wasn't thought to be much of anything but he kept on chugging along and became a vital part of the Jets in that era. Also interesting to see the 1st down line back then. I remembered it wasn't always the bright yellow/orange that it is today and more of a dark orange/red.

This was some good football. It felt way different than it does now. Real talk. J.Lewis was an underated weapon for the Ravens back then. And people sleep on how good A. Glenn was for the Jets. He was a beast as well.

That 2000 Ravens defense was so SPECIAL. One of my favorite seasons being a Ravens fan

Love the old NFL CBS theme!

I just watched the interception at 1:00 by the Jets and then Sam Darnold just got intercepted in the live game right now. 😳

I remember with 3 games left they said that both the Jets and the Ravens could make the playoffs by simply winning one more game. The Ravens won all three of the games that were left and went on to win the SB. The Jets on the other hand lost all three to miss the playoffs completely. The Jet's offense gets credit for putting up so many points against maybe the best defense ever. It just wasn't enough.

Vinny had confidence and wasnt shook by the Ravens, he got pick 3 times by the Ravens excellent corners Starks and McAllister and he went right back at them after the fact,

Ray Lewis, Jermaine Lewis, Jamal Lewis, Shannon Sharpe, Chris McAlister ,Jonathan Ogden, Peter Boulware, Rod Woodson , Goose , Qadry Ismail , Michael McCrary and many more , just so many great player's on the iconic 2000 Ravens team. I love my Ravens , I've been a fan since 1996 aka the "beginning". Go Ravens!

Well tonight definitely wont be close

No people you not dreaming you just seen the best defense ever,I’m a Titans fan,we were the best team that year but that defense was too much for anyone to overcome I seen them in person

Keep more of those 2000 Ravens games coming

Shout out to NFL throwbacks to putting out these short and iconic throwback games for us, much appreciated 🙏🏽

6:45 Ah the legendary Patriot

Thank you for this upload! This was one of my favorite games from that season, can't find it anywhere.

What is the purpose of a defense? To keep the other team from scoring. Which defense allowed the fewest points in a 16 game season? The 2000 Ravens. End of discussion.

Wayne Chrebet Should Be Talked About More He Paved The Way For Undersized Slot Receivers Like Welker And Edelman

I love these throwbacks any game any team.

13:55 is a beautiful play and really fun to watch on 0.25 speed. Jermaine is able to go nearly 90 yards untouched. This doesn't happen by accident. Nearly all 11 Jets Defenders are taken out of this return by timely blocks. Breaking it down: 1. Notice how Tupa's punt, while long, doesn't get much hangtime which gives Jermaine the room to fake going left and then switch direction which makes #53 run into #56 Anthony Davis who takes him out of the play. 2. Look how #34 on the Jets falls on his butt without anyone around him. Later on he'll be chasing Jermaine down the sidelines but cost himself valuable time with that slip. 3. The Jets tight end #81 gets off of #21 McAllister's block but is way too slow to catch the speedy Lewis and can't take a good angle in time. 4. It looks like #33 on the Jets is in position to make the tackle but #42 Anthony Mitchell alertly swoops in and throws a huge block. 5. Corey Harris #45, one of the best Special Team's blockers, completely smothers #25... 6. Which gives Jermaine a lane to move inside and elude the Jets tackler #56. 7. Just prior to that #57 OJ Brigance, another Ravens stud on Special Teams, picks up his assignment on #58 on the Jets. 8. #32 on the Jets is preoccupied with #86 Billy Davis and #51 Cornell Brown and by the time he realizes what's happening, Jermaine sprints past him. 9. #22 Duane Starks takes the right angle to block Tupa which gives Lewis the room to cut outside on the sidelines and turn on the burners. 10. This means that #47 isn't close enough to make the tackle and has to make a desperate diving attempt. 11. #83 on the Jets had been tied up by #38 James Trapp which slows him down and he can't catch up to Jermaine after he broke loose. So many moving pieces and really highlights how good the Ravens special team unit was in 2000.

Ravens defense literally had to carry this god awful offense this entire season.

Loved the nfl when didn't play on artificial surfaces.

Keep the videos coming, I will watch them all. Someday, I will be able to say I've watched every NFL game in the modern age. Can't get enough.

I think this is the only time we saw the Best Defense Of All-time get scored on because that defense didn't give up anything.

I was at this game, and the Jets went up two TDS ….I thought we had a real problem….but the Ravens came back BIG !

I miss Curtis Martin. He was an underrated RB

Can you upload at least one more Brian urlacher game since I’ve grew up watching him and he’s my favorite player

That fake lateral on the interception return though

Imagine having the 2000 ravens D/ST in fantasy

This was the first and only time I got to see the Ravens as I’m from UK and was visiting family for Christmas, I’ve been hooked ever since and I love this team, go Ravens!

That 2000 Ravens Defense was somethin serious. It was hard Scoring against them.

the 2000 ravens - the team that didn't need offense

exciting highlights

McAlister INT returned TD just before halftime gives you chills

More 2000 Ravens videos what a unreal team

I wish the jets had an o line like that

Our offense was terrible that year. This shows that defense can really win championships. Kind of reminds of the Patriots this year (but we were better)

I remember hearing Ken Whisenhunt, then a Jets coach, say in an interview that they utilized a hurry-up offense to compete with Baltimore's monster defense. The plan was going real well and then came the turnovers and special-teams screw-ups.

I remember this game well. The Ravens had already clinched their seed in the playoffs, so it didn't matter if they won or lost, but the Jets had to win to get in. The most emotional part about this game was the kickoff and punt return TDs by Jermaine Lewis. He had just lost his infant son and was pointing to the heavens to him when he scored. At 10:06 and at 14:05 and once more, a month later, in the Superbowl.

Man the Jets were moving all up and down the field on the Ravens lol. That raven secondary just couldn't cover the Jets man.

I'm actually shocked by how bad the offense was for this super bowl run. I was watching this shit in AWE

Ah yes the Year The Jets started out 6-1 under Al Groh, then proceded to blow it & ultimately finish 3-6 the last 9 games of the season and missed the playoffs, Jets Gonna Jet.

It’s crazy that if u told anybody to name another all time Ravens D player other than Ray Lewis almost all would say Ed Reed and after him would probably be Terrell Suggs and neither were on this 2000 Ravens team.

The defense dominated headlines and history, but that Baltimore special teams unit was incredible as well!

I was at this game in section 518 row 10 with my best friend Mike Fritz and his uncles (row9). This is the first time I saw the highlights. Amazing to relive it. They don’t play football like this anymore. In fact I bet at least 4of those big hits would be penalties today

Great game

One of the best defenses of all time

I always found it amusing that if the Jets never hired local boy Richie Kotite to go 4-28 over two years, they also never would have found Hoftra product Wayne Chrebet who became their top receiving threat for a decade

J-LEEWWW!!! I remember we used to yell that for Jermaine back then and this was such a big and emotional game for the poor guy and got us 2 tds that game Kudos Jermaine

Ah. I remember the Dilfer, Testaverde, Boller days...

Being that I have been a die hard loyal Jets fan my whole life this is something that I experience every season in some way shape or form. But it kills me though because there is talent there and there is fight and passion. But just same old Jets every year. No matter if were talking 2000 or 2022. But at the end of the day. GangGreen4life. JetUp AllGasNoBrake

Wow this is another type of football 🏈 this is cool on a run from Superbowl 30 going up just finsh 35 on to the next this is a crazy team in your face

At 7:52 ... was the moment when al gore was like yup I'm outta here .. he would go on to resign the next day

And the Ravens beat the *brakes off everyone* and won the Super Bowl.

This game made the Giants think they could pass vs the Ravens in the Superbowl

This was more of a super bowl than the one they played against a different NY team

Vinny’s homecoming was a disaster

It games happened a two weeks before Flacco's sweet 16.

7:31....the Chris McAllister pick six before halftime was the game changer for the ravens and they took the lead for good the rest of the game....the ravens turned up playoff time and Super Bowl 35....

I was actually at this game. My grandmother got us tickets for Christmas. The defense surprisingly was off their game but got the job done. It was cuz of this game that they technically weren't the #1 defense in total yards that year. Little trivia that most don't know.

This was on Christmas Eve if i remember right ...

Ray Lewis at 1:50: "That's not very good!"

They came out slinging it, this game was nuts. McAlisters pick sealed it imo.

Old school football I love it.

Rex Ryan is somewhere on the Ravens' sideline, not knowing that he, too, will one day become part of the cursed lore of that miserable franchise known as the Jets.

Ravens may have had the best ever special teams unit too.

Al Groh’s first and last season coaching the Jets...

Vinny Testaverde ABSOLUTELY blew this game and the jets chance to make the playoffs that year. Man!

The 2000 Ravens defense gave up the least amount of points in NFL history.

Since my Bears need to beat the fudge packers this weekend to stay alive in the playoff race can you upload either the game at lambo in 2005 or the freezing night at soldier Field in 2008 on Monday night Football?

Was at this game ND jlew was my favorite player

At this game, then the Broncos, Titans, Raiders, Giants......the Baltimore Bullies showed up, big!

Trent Dilfer had a cannon

Anyone else miss this version of the NFL on CBS theme? Way better than the current theme, that theme is overused just like the NFL on Fox theme.

Jets split out Curtis Martin and Richie Anderson wide A TON. Both had good hands though.

man what a TB game in 2000, but dang Jets lost a heartbreaker in Baltimore to kept their playoff hopes alive tho

WOW almost wearing the ravens #5 before Flacco.

The Jets, like many other teams, did a great job until the 2000 Ravens defense remembered they're the 2000 Ravens defense.

Thus ended the illustrious Al Groh era for the Jets.

The early 2000s Jets were a tough scrappy team for sure, Testaverde reminds me of Ryan Fitzpatrick. With that being said that Ravens team was stacked everywhere except for QB.

Remember watching this the same day the rams had to make the playoffs as defending Champs and needed the lions or someone to lose in a wild week 17

Jets started 6-1 lost 3 in a row, won 3 in a row, and then lost 3 in a row

I gotta be around 6 years old when this game happen.

This game ruined my Christmas

Typical Jets. They went 9-4 and completely crapped the bed in another crucial game.😢

I luv the 2000 Ravens they're my favorite Ravens team but can you imagine if Lamar Jackson played for that team? They dominated with Trent Diller at quarterback, so imagine! Smh RIDICULOUS!!!

Classic jets... Collapse after going 6-1 and yet have a strong 14-0 start just to humiliatingly choke it away in the most important game of the season where if they lost their season was over.

this ravens defense is ridiculous lol

Testaverde was embarassing
