Rookie Ben Ends Brady & Belichick's 21 Game Win Streak! (Patriots vs. Steelers 2004, Week 8) 

One of the best games in Big Ben's rookie career and ended up going 15-1. Before losing to the Patriots in a blowout in the AFC Championship

That is some insane quality picture for 2004

The Steelers have some absolutely LEGENDARY defenses! And this certainly is one of the best defenses in league history!

DAMN Ben looks young. I remember watching this game live and it was possibly just as sweet as both Superbowls we won in the Big Ben era. I remember being with several friends and having beers, and by the end of the night we were SCREAMING at the TV ripping apart Tom Brady and just laughing and having a blast. Every time Brady would get sacked or pressured they would cut the cameras to his face and he was visibly shaken and upset... and we loved every second of it. The Pats were the "big bad Boogyman" back then and to end their winning streak was just magnificent. They would come back and demolish us for the AFC game, but we got right back up after a 15-1 season and won the next Superbowl. So all was well in Blitzburgh from 2004-2006

This game literally looks like it was played yesterday, big shout out to this channel for the restoration work and the video quality!

I was a senior in high school during this season. The Steelers fans went insane after this game.

Dick LeBeau’s exotic zone defense scheme came back with vengeance and befuddled a lot of teams in 2004 finishing first in overall defense. Credit where credit is due with the constant pressure on the Patriots protection schemes.

for ben to start his career with 14 straight wins, including his playoff debut against the jets, is an unbreakable record. yeah he had a stout defense and a fantastic run game, but winning 14 straight is very difficult, let alone for a rookie QB that wasn’t even the week 1 starter. that record will never be broken, and i’m not sure if any other rookie QB will come close ever again.

I get so nostalgic when I watch these old games. I LOVED this Steelers team, so much incredible talent and just an all around good group of guys. How many future Hall of Famers here? Tons. Btw, hey Steelers fans, remember when we could get a two-touchdown lead and hold it? Man, good times.

I remember this game like it was yesterday... felt like a million bucks after this game.

Crazy this sunday game pats vs steelers is the first matchup without big ben or brady since 1998

This was the game where Ben Roethlisberger didn’t need to do too much. He had a great defense behind him and a great duo at RB in Bettis and Staley. Overall, it’s a great game to a hall of fame career

Hell of a game for Joey Porter and we just drafted his son Joey Porter Jr tonight!!!!

Ben comes out and beats Brady in the first meeting of Ben Steelers vs Brady Pats. Little did we know of the constant ass-whoopings Brady would give the Ben led Steelers for the next 16-17 years.

Man I miss seeing steelers score touchdowns on the Offense had to come back here and watch these old games!

“And I took that personally” - Tom Brady

Ahhh, the good old days. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Thanks for the memories!❤

Absolutely phenomenal video quality! Joey Porter was a beast this game!

ahh the start of the Tom Brady Ben Roethlisberger rivalry, but man Rookie Big Ben, what a season he had, that was just remarkable and a incredible Pittsburgh Steelers defense that was too

R.I.P David patten 🙏🏽

Amazing defensive game, as well.

My Steelers growing up I was 14

I'm a diehard Steelers fan (since the 70s) and I cried on part-2 of that game. But following year, SB50 was sweet 😋

Plaxico Burress was an absolute monster!! I was in Sophomore in High School when this game happened. So glad I grew up in this era.

Wow, I almost forgot how fun it is when the Steelers score! 🏈

As a Steelers fan, I felt like a million bucks after this and thought we were finally going to be competitive with New England following this win. Instead, it was the last Steelers domination we would see in this one sided affair 🤦‍♂️

Tom Brady vs Big Ben Tom Brady vs Kenny Pickett Wow that man's been playing a LONG time!

This game and season was phenomenal. Paved the Way for Superbowl XL. Such determination and Highly skilled players. This is by far the best Steelers team of my lifetime .I Miss these Steelers

I´m 65 years old Steelers fan. Since 55 years ago, I´m a Steeler. Greetings from Xalapa, Veracruz in Mexico.

The 07 Pats may have had a more dominant regular season but the 03-04 patriots were the best team at winning ever back to back 14-2 seasons with back to back Super Bowls they didn’t have a flashy offence so no one talks about them anymore

Fun Fact: The Steelers Ended The Patriots Streak And Won By 14Pts The Patriots Got Their Revenge And Destroy The Steelers In The AFC Championship And Won By 14Pts

FUN FACT: THIS WAS TY LAWS LAST GAME IN A PATRIOTS UNIFORM

I don't care for Ben personally, at all, but kids this is the Big Ben we knew

1:22 The last play from HOF cornerback Ty Law in a Patriots uniform.

This game was a blessing in disguise. All the Steelers did was talk after this game about how they beat the Pats(Who were without Dillion). Pats used that as motivation and whipped their ass in the AFC Championship game.

Steelers looked invincible until playoffs started . Big Ben 13-0 .They beat the Jets in OT and the next week Pats thump them. But.....Steelers win it all the next year!!

In this game, the Patriots were missing eventual SB MVP WR Deion Branch, 1600-yd RB Corey Dillon, starting CB Ty Poole, and then lost future HoF CB Ty Law in the first quarter (this was his last game as a Patriot) - I’ve long said the 2004 Patriots were a superior overall team to the 16-0 2007 team, they had one of the most impressive playoff runs of all time, and without the injuries in this Steelers game the 04 team likely goes 16-0 as well (their only other loss in 04 besides this one was the “Night that courage wore orange” in Miami against the 2-11 Dolphins, which I have to feel the Patriots win if they came in at 13-0)

Not many rookie QB's get to join a team with a Hall of Fame RB, Ol & two pro bowl receivers and an exceptional defense.

Joey Porter was the difference maker in this game. The way to beat Brady his whole career was to put him on his back.

Ben played his whole career, and even now Brady and Belichick are still going strong

The way they dominated this game and then took down the Eagles the next week, I thought this was a Super Bowl year.

BRADY HAS NOTHING ON BIG BEN BEN WAS A GOOD CLEAN HONEST FOOTBALL QB HE WILL BE IN HOF FOR SURE ON HIS FIRST TRY NOBODY HAS A PUMP FAKE LIKE BEN TOUGH TO BRING DOWN AND PLAYED THROUGH COUNTLESS INJURIES WHAT A SMART THING WHEN STEELERS DRAFTED BEN BET CLEVELAND IS THINKING MAN WE COULD OF HAD HIM AND LET HIM GO THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THESE GAMES ALIVE ON YOUR CHANNEL LOVE WATCHING THEM THANK YOU BEN FOR EVERYTHING LOVE YA GO STEELERS

14:14 they lost but this throw made up for it

This is the start Brady and Big Ben crazy rivalry

The quality is unreal for a 2004 game

I was 12 when this game was played. It was on Halloween and I stayed home and didn’t trick or treating for the first time. I wish I did because the Pats ended up getting spanked, and I had no candy 🤣

Ahhh yes…yes, back when Pittsburgh had a good offensive coordinator

It’s easy to forget the role Duce Staley played during this year and the next. He was thw RB1 to start this season, and even after injuries and the emergence of Willie Parker (not to mention the Bus using everything he had left in the gas tank), he was a solid player whom having made sure we always had a good backup. I’m happy he ended up with a Super Bowl Ring.

This Burress guy is good, I sure hope he doesn't go to jail for accidentally shooting himself while at the top of his game

As a steelers fan this may be one of the only times they beat brady

teams that went 15-1 in the regular season that didn't reach to the super bowl. 1998 vikings 2004 steelers 2011 packers am i missing any teams?

Joey Porter: “They ain’t on our level!” Patriots: Route the Steelers in the AFC championship game on the way to winning their third Super Bowl

3 of the 4 best teams in the nfl were Steelers, Colts and Pats who of course went to 10 superbowls from 2001-2011. The loss of Ty Law hurt, but I felt the pats could get them in the playoffs which they did that year. Others have said it, but the 04 Pats were probably the most complete teams in the Brady Pats era outside of receiver

...and 3 months later...the Patriots beat the Steelers on this same field to go to (and win) the Super Bowl.

the patriots and steelers are the nfl's twin towers at this point! 6 super bowl wins each and 12 lombardi's combined! unbelievable!!!!

Big Ben rookie season was special and for BigBen to tell the Bus that we will get u to SB was special and Big Ben delivered on his promise. With out Brady and Manning BigBen would’ve had 4 SB easy . Absolutely a legend and privilege to watch BigBen play his whole career

I recall this game being on Halloween night of ‘04 and boy, was it ever a great one. Definitely one to remember and one to savor as long as we could, since the playoff rematch would end up a whole different story. But we’ll take whatever we can against that team.

I remember this like yesterday watched this in my first apartment after work

God Joey porter was such a menace in my his game. Played his ass off all game being a maniac

And than Brady destroyed them in the AFC championship

I don’t know much about football but this guys must’ve been a great QB!! And probably respected women incredibly!!

We need the full game release on here 😂 I love watching these classic games

Another great video where I can selectively MUTE Simms & only listen to the great announcer Cris. I always felt so sorry for Cris that he had to work with Simms. 😂

I remember this game like it was just yesterday (I was born in 2003)

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days....

5:04 Heckuva arm punt by Brady.

One of the best teams Steelers ever had assembled. History

GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide. LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!

DURING THAT 2004 SEASON, I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL BACK THEN. AFTER EARNING MY DIPLOMA, I WAS GOING WILD AFTER THIS STEELERS DEFENSE CRUSH BRADY BUNCH LIKE HELL!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember this game the Patriots had that long winning streak going into this match up but this steelers team with a rookie big ben ended it they went 15-1 this year too

This was a Halloween night game. My neighbor, who was a high school football coach, wanted to watch the game. He put a bucket of candy by the light post at the end of the driveway. Above the bucket was a handwritten sign that read, "Take One." Great game.

The following weak the undefeated Eagles came in with McNabb and T.O. They left with a L too. 😎🖤💛 Amazing era in Steelers history. So happy to have seen these games.

Tom Brady’s greatness just looked so normal over the years. Amazing.

Yes Ben had a great supporting cast, but just sit back and appreciate how good he was then so young. He had the poise of a 10 year veteran, pump fake, looking off safeties, moving in the pocket, sensing the rush. The days of the Steelers having a QB that could win games on their shoulders was born. And then left again when he retired lol 😮😅

Watching and Reminiscing this after our loss to the Browns with a 3rd string QB! I miss Ben😢

If only they could have done this in the playoffs to the pats.

I'm still shocked that the Steelers were beaten by the Patriots in the playoffs. Because they shouldn't have even _made_ it that far. HOW did the Jets manage to blow the divisional playoff game? They had two chances to win it in the last six minutes, and blew two field goal attempts in a row. I was a serious Steelers fan back then, but I'm still amazed we even got to the AFC Championship. Ben the prodigy disappeared and Ben the rookie took over once the playoffs started.

Patriots: Real Madrid! Steelers: Arsenal!

I swear to god, if only Pittsburgh played like this nowadays, with more of a killer instinct to keep on shoving the ball down an opponent's throat. Maybe then they wouldn't have to have an unreasonable number of games necessitating 14+ point fourth quarters to even keep a game competitive, or just barely win by one score.

Roethlisberger’s Rookie season was one in a million.

I was at this game. I’ve been to many Steelers games. This one is up there (for non-playoff games) as one of the loudest and rowdiest atmospheres I’ve experienced at Heinz Field.

what a running game.....offensive line!!!

still to this day, brady's still playing and roethlisberger retired. let that sink in.

Just. Seeing Hines ward again make this video worth it.

Definitely should of won the Super bowl 2004 This steelers defense was the best. I miss this team ✨️🖤✨️🖤✨️🖤✨️🖤✨️

The product on the field was so much better back in 2004.

I counted 8 holds that the Patriots had on us and not one of them are called

You know the Steelers were having a great game when Ike "stone hands" Taylor gets an INT 😂 He was a good cover corner, but was allergic to catching

I remember watching that game, bad game! But we did go on and win the Super Bowl that season, Great season! 💯😎🏆

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like Coach Cowher held back a smile after The Bus ran it in near the beginning of the 3rd quarter 🤔😂😂

Pittsburgh was the perfect fit for Ben's physical style of QB play.

This is when we had a really good coach

I was at that game what a great atmosphere

Felt good, man.

Miss the old days🥲

Great game for the history books

Hinnez Ward was a tough receiver back in his day.

I remember this was halloween night, I took my kids trick or treating in the second half. They weren't very old so they wanted to go home before the end of the game.

Miss the old Pittsburgh Steelers 😢

If there was top 10 Big Ben games this would be #4
