Playing for New York City | Timeline: 9/11 | NFL Films 

It’s a shame it takes a tragedy like this to unify our country

When Giants were men and the NFL was America's game.

This was back when the NFL still had heart

That Jets-Pats game was the same one where Drew Bledsoe went out and Brady took over

15 years later players can't even wear cleats with an American theme...

18 years later and this still makes me cry and smile. God bless America

That one player who was legit crying, he made me cry for that sad day so much. I really felt that!

And nobody thought about the New York Jets

Pat Tillman then gave up his career only to be killed by friendly fire

Damn, caught myself tearing up and I wasn’t even alive for 9/11, may all of the people who lost their lives Rest In Peace 🙏

As an Eagles fan my whole life, i became a Ny Giants, Jets, a NE Patriots and a Dallas Cowboy fan that day. Divided we fall United we stand.

American patriotism is a beautiful thing, and this is coming from a Canadian.

The NFL has become a sad joke now. THIS is the American NFL I know and love.

God love you, Jim Fassel. New York will never forget you. R.I.P

See Paul tagliabue was an actual commissioner who did his job unlike goodell

Our generations will never understand what we lost ...United we stand divided we fall

Sadly it may take another 9/11 type of event to bring us back together.

I’m a Pats fan. I’m mad at the giants for winning the super bowl twice against my pats. But for that Giants player and that fan calling the Giants GM after 9/11, I’m a fan. This is one of those moments where football is more than a game, football, and any other sport, becomes family. You take care of others, whether it’s you family, friends, teammates, or in this case, your city. I remember when the Boston Marathon bombing happened, everyone was devastated in Boston. Big Papi, the next day, came out with his speech and wore “Boston” jerseys and not the “Red Sox” jerseys. America has a lot of tragedies, so for Big Papi to come out and say “This is our f**king city” meant a lot for Boston fans. Well I’ll tell you what, THIS IS OUR F**KING COUNTRY!! God bless everyone.

This video gives me the chills. The good chills

One of the best segments of NFL Films.

Man just to think i was 9 blocks away when it happened. I thought it was a earthquake. Few minutes later seen all those sirens and I remembered walking through the streets and seeing the smoke and people's crying it still bothered me till this day.

Politics has destroyed our internal fabric of this great country so sad.

Damn. Some of these will make you cry

In every tragedy it brings the best out in people

Joe andruzzi was truly a patriot and man of honor. He was one of the first to run in to help at the Boston marathon as well not knowing if other devices were around. He still charged in helping move the injured out of harms way.

19 years later and they can’t even stand for the National anthem without facing backlash

we need this commissioner back.

Crazy to see the back up Brady giving High fives as guy came out with the flag. Unreal

What a difference 20 years makes.

"if you dont like americaaa.....you can geeeeeet ouuuuuuuuuut"

I wish we where still United like this 😞

We will never forget.

Boston and NYC are arguably the best rival cities in sports but they absolutely love and respect each other

i miss this america

relaxing music

I miss this NFL

I never realized how much the entire league came together to support America. I was (emphasis on was) a Giants fan living in New York at the time. I remember seeing their first game on TV after 9/11. Really was a special moment not just for the NFL, but for the entire world of professional sports. I'll never forget that game. Nowadays the NFL is unwatchable. I mostly stopped watching the NFL the same year Kaepernick took a knee for the National Anthem. This season I'm not watching a single game. Players no longer play for their country, the same country that gave them the freedom to make millions of dollars. If the league and the players don't have respect for anything, why should I have respect for them as a fan that supported the league? NFL TV viewership has been in decline for years now and I don't see it improving anytime soon. Certainly not this season at least. After seeing this video, it really is sad to see what has become of this league and it's the players fault for causing fans like myself to tune out. RIP NFL.

Seeing how unified and together every single person u walked by was after 9/11 makes ne proud to be an american. Yes, its sad that it took such a tragedy to get it, but america was so strong together directly after those attacks and wish we could get back to the pride we all felt bc it was a beautiful thing. Its wild seeing us go from so united to so divided in a 20 year span

United we stand. Divided we fall.

Rest In Peace coach Fassel 🙏

What's most overlooked about this episode was that the NFL wasn't exactly in sync before the September 11 attacks affected the NFL season because the league was out of sync with the death of Minnesota Vikings tackle Korey Stringer from heatstroke in training camp.

¡God bless America! 🇺🇸

I am mexican and I got to say when I saw the news I was in shocked I was furious and broken not knowing what had happend. I love football so much. My dad my brother and I played it and it is what connects us. I understand what the league ia going thru right now and in no way lean on either side. I just hope you can really become the nation that gave me so much when I was young and had to live there since my country was (still isnt) save. I love you all, please come together again and show the world that the US is the greatest country in the world

Never forget

This is why the Patriots dynasty started.

That jets patriots game was also the game drew Bledsoe got hurt.

NFL all Sports Organizations made gather & show Pride, Love of Man & Country. We needed upu all.

September 13, 2021- When fans chanted 🇺🇸🇺🇸USA! I shed in tears of the lost of people at the world trade center 😢😓😢😓

I was only 2 years old when 9/11 happened. Let them rest in peace

Make the NFL great again

Wow look at that the NFL waving the American flag

Who was Drew Bledsoe even trying to throw to at 5:39? I only see jets jerseys like he purposely threw it to them

Too bad we don't have this in the nfl today

a moment i love watching wasnt NFL but NASCAR when they went to Dover and a sold out crowd waving the flag and then Dale Jr wins the race and does a reverse pace lap with a big american flag waving out the window.

Imagine being from Irak or Afghanistan and going through this kind of event every other week.

The cowards who attacked us expected to crush our spirit. Instead we unified, moved forward, and delivered justice. God bless the USA 🇺🇸

One word "hero's"

We will be back. NY forever! NY for life!

This is where this country needs to get back to!

9/11/2001was crazy I was only 7 when this happened

1:01 are those hand prints of blood on the metal the guy is next to?

Know we don’t even stand for the flag. We are almost a 180 degree difference from what we use to be.

RIP Jim Fassel

Sad that people aren't this patriotic anymore.

Good job Giants! From a Jets fan.

What a disgrace how different the NFL is today. USA should come above all else.

Giants need to go back to those away uniforms in the thumbnail.

6:46 - surprise sean payton lol

The Giants super bowl story is eerily similar to the saints story

My town has festival every year and they have a 911 memorial portable mini house that you can get a tour of thats filled with debris and artifacts from the attack

RIP Coach Fassel.

Rip Fassel

I wonder how Bad Nagasaki aftermath must have been

Great! I would love a documentary on the Washington NFL franchise during 9/11! What the players, coaching staff and front office guys were doing when the Pentagon was attacked!

I don't remember any players kneeling that season. That was back in the days when I watched pro sports.

Wow

🙏

The narrator only speaks through a mid-range speaker from 1985

" GO BIG BLUE "

Whos watching this on the 17th anniversary of this tragedy?

Jets punching air watching this

why wasn't the other brother (jimmy andruzzi) involved here? amazing story

If your watching this in 2020, when joe buck said something about this well, in 2020 he said that the flyovers that go on above the stadiums are a waste of time and tax dollars.

3:54 Did all the teams wear those tribute stickers?

Search and rescuers didn’t need many body bags. That’s one of the sad facts. So many people died, yet there were only small pieces of them left.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Am I the only one who thinks Luther Vandross was lipsynching the anthem at the Jets-49ers game on 10/1/01?

Who gives a thumb down for this…

Through thick and thin Americans will prevail United and free

As any of us who were over the age of 10 years old when 9/11 happened, I myself was 35, there's two observations I'd like to make: It took one horrific event on American soil to unite this Country unlike anything I've EVER witnessed in my lifetime....EVER! And.... it took one man to divide this Country unlike anything I've EVER witnessed in my lifetime. Imagine that? Think about it. God Bless!

This is the patriotism that no longer exists....

Jets deserve that win, Don’t even care if I hate them, they really deserved that

I'm I the Only one to notice Sean Payton in the NYG Group Photo?

If you ever seen what the search dogs did as well. When

New York City in 2001:fund the police New York City in 2021: defund the police

Nothing has changed, we are still Americans, act like it!

Also this started the Patriots Dynasty when bledsoe got hit

hOw did the NFL go from this to that?

Who is that at 3:47?

The NFL should call the game soccer now
