This is the game that made made me first fall in love with the game football, defence and the ravens. 19 years later and im still a die hard ravens fan from canada.
The JD experiment They were supposed to go all the way this year, such a heartbreaking loss, but they're gonna have a bright future with Lamar Jackson and that defense
@@Airsoftcleaner Hell yea. I still prefer the nfl tho. Would fly to Baltimore every year to watch my Ravens play. 9hr trip by plane with one layoff. Fell in love with that city and its ppl for the past 20years. Love visiting every chance I get.
I've been waiting YEARS for someone to finally upload the authentic broadcast version... not the watered down NFL Network version. Thank you so much!!! You wouldn't happen to have the 2000 AFC title game vs Raiders would you?
Sad thing is, this game (and maybe even the playoffs) is available in high definition but to my knowledge the NFL never made it available in HD as far as I know. At least not the full broadcast.
This Ravens team only surrendered 165 points during the regular season. The '85 Bears gave up 198, the '02 Bucs gave up 195, the '13 Seahawks gave up 231, the '78 Steelers gave up 195, The 1996 Packers gave up 210. That has to mean something.
Big Wood .....actually I’ll take that a step further. The Ravens did allow 165 but 14 of those points were scored by Tennessee’s defense on them so actually the Ravens D only gave up 151 that year
@@thefrase7884 yep, and with playoffs combined those Ravens gave up 167 points on defense in 20 games. That’s about 8.9 points allowed per game. Insanity.
@Natural Creature Good points…. All those others were good too. One though that stands out for me is those late 80’s, early 90’s Eagles. Just no Super Bowl appearance.
@Natural Creature Hi I have been a Giants fan since 82. When the Ravens become the third most successful team in NFL history Giants 8 NFL titles. The Ravens 2 ??. Even if you factor in the Baltimore colts , Baltimore anything. You still ain't close to being the third best. Have the Ravens beaten the patriots in 2 Superbowls.? 34 - 7 is a bad loss but after this we beat the patriots in 2 Superbowls.! I will take being in 5 Superbowls and only losing 1 all day long. I hope our next 5 go the same way.!!! Oh and please remind me just what the score was in the latest regular season matchup. Would that be GIANTS 24 ravens 20.?
Sorry that your team got eliminated in their first playoff game, it was a great season and I thought for sure they were gonna go all the way for a SB XLVII rematch, good luck next year though, Lamar Jackson and that defense are gonna have a bright future
Duane Starks pick-6 in Super Bowl XXXV was the first pick-6 in a SB since Super Bowl XX and only the 5th interception returned for a TD in the first 35 Super Bowls. There’s been 10 interceptions returned for a touchdown in a Super Bowl since 2001.
@Tellestus 0 well it would be the meanest since them, and till this day cause of how football rules have changed the game, there hasn't been a defensive team like the Ravens since
@@localwillow9948 They are very slept on. I'm an original raven since 1996 and raiders in the 70s were something else. It was before my time but I watch clips etc..
adajoy215 Also N.Y. Giants defensive coordinator John Fox who led the Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2003 and the Denver Broncos to Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013. Other future head coaches on Brian Billick’s Ravens coaching staff besides Marvin Lewis (Bengals) were Jack Del Rio (Jaguars, Raiders), Rex Ryan (Jets, Bills) and Mike Smith (Falcons).
Leigh Silver well Tom Brady was the number 1 draft pick in 2004 out of Harvard. Tom Brady threw 3,000 TDS and negative 4million interceptions in his senior year and had sex with every single Chick in Boston and cured every hookers STD in Boston. Tom Brady threw a pass that went around the world once before getting to his receiver. Tom Brady threw a pass so hard that it broke the space time continuum and went 3 years into the future and was then coaught by the then Patriot receiver.
Love how RAY charles opens up the Super Bowl at RAYmond Jones Stadium in Tamp Bay, (where the RAYS play) and RAY lewis wins SB MVP for the winning team the RAYvens
First Super Bowl on CBS since SB 26 (1992) and that's because in 93 they lost the NFC package to FOX. It was until the 98 season when they got the AFC package (from NBC)
The next 6 Super Bowls on CBS after SB XXXV, the QB’s for the AFC teams were either Tom Brady (Patriots 38,53), Peyton Manning (Colts 41, 44 & Broncos 50) and Joe Flacco (Ravens 47).
This was the most lopsided Superbowl ever imo. Not by score of course just by how dominant the Ravens were. The Giants literally could do nothing . Like 100 total yards and they only scored 7pts off a kick off return lol. This ravens defense was ungodly lol
Both the Ravens (244) and Giants (152) had a combined 396 yards of offense in this game. This game had 3 TD’s in 36 seconds while Super Bowl LIII was the first Super Bowl to have only 1 TD in the entire game.
I think Jim Fassel’s best coaching job with the Giants was the year after their appearance in SB XXXV, especially after the tragic events of 9/11/01 in NY. He kept that team together the best he could after those tragic events and I’m sure it affected the teams play on the field since the Giants franchise and the players wanted to do more off the field to help the NY/NJ community help recover from those events anyway they could and the game of football was secondary. The Giants finished 6-10 in ‘01 after going 12-4 in ‘00 and coming out of nowhere to make it to the Super Bowl.
7-9 in 2001, but they were 7-7 at one point in a back and forth battle with the eagles in week 16, had they won there and next week they may have got into the playoffs. They also gave away another 2 wins against the Rams and Eagles in October, they potentially could have been around 10-6 or 11-5 that year, but drops, turnovers, and bad special teams stymied them all year
Thanks for the up-load. As a Giants fan, this was a sad day indeed. However, looking back in retrospect, it's hard to say that Giants' history would have been the same in the years to come had they came out on top. :-)
@@vitolepore6576 Yeah, I seem to remember a couple of shady calls going against the Giants. I'm not saying the Ravens Defense wouldn't have still prevailed that day. It was a perfect storm of dog shit for the Giants that day, but had that not happened the game would have at least been a lot closer than it was.
@@lhart99 well I’m not entirely sure there, especially since they were like 1 of 14 or worse than that on third down conversion attempts on a good amount of their possessions now exactly there. THIS WAS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE WORST BLACK SUNDAY EXPERIENCES IN MY ENTIRE LIFE EVER, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS 7 GOING ON 8 THROWING AN ABSOLUTE TEMPER TANTRUM AT MY UNCLE’S RESTAURANT WHERE HE HOSTED A SUPER BOWL PARTY ALONGSIDE WITH A JUMBOTRON TV AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO GO WITH THAT AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER NEAT SETUP GEAR AS WELL NOW BRO. #Facts 🤙🏽✅🔥💯
@Natural Creature right but whats funny is they did that with no real plan anyways at qb. Trent wasnt terrible in 2000. Defense certainly carried but i mean they went with elvis grbac to start 2001. Not like they had some anazing option
The issue was, this team had virtually nothing else they could upgrade; the best defense of all time, a solid o-line, a rookie running back...I would have upgraded the QB too. What's more, in this game he struggled, almost had a pick-six, and was injured for part of it. It was a questionable move to release Dilfer, but it wouldn't have made a difference in the long run.
This particular Sunday was one of few that I call "Black Sunday" in my house. Of course, with me being a Giants fan. I got sent up to bed early because I was saying some stuff...heck, I was 8 years old at the time. BUT, the better team did win this day, that Ravens defense was something else!!
Brian Waas Believe me man, you're not the only one!😅 Still, I'd be careful especially around my Mom and Grandma (I was at her house watching this) because not only I would be sent to bed, I would also meet Mr. Strap (My Grandma's belt)
This Ravens team knew they had this, that defense was just sick, and you could actually play defense back then, nothing like today’s vaginized game ...
Giants fan. This was a tough one. The ravens D had such speed that was overwhelming. The pick 6 by armstead that got called back was a huge momentum shift, but as a coach myself, one play doesn’t decide a game. Many other plays and the ravens just executed better. When the Giants abandoned their run game, the speed of the ravens pass rush was too much to handle. Even if the run game doesn’t net much, have to stay with it to slow the pass rush. I knew field position was going to be a big part of this game and the ravens established it early in their favor and the giants couldn’t flip it. Not too many LBs could run as well as Ray Lewis, the only one I can remember being faster was Derrick Brooks. 1 TD given up in 4 playoff games is hard to top by that ravens D
Giants probably never had a chance, poor guys. On the bright side, your team would go on to win the Super Bowl 7 years later. Michael Strahan and Amani Toomer would be the only players left from this 2000 team that would go on to win it all in 2007
@@jarod3931 football is a weird game, especially in single elimination, where there is always a chance. Both of these teams were led by their defenses. Another important sequence in this game was the end of the first half. Giants were in scoring range with under a minute left and Collins forced a pass into coverage in the end zone that was picked. A FG there makes it 10-3 at half. The tone would have been different. Not saying that they would have won, but their chances going into the 2nd half would have been much better. That pick solidified the ravens dominance on D. The turnovers by the giants essentially made their own defense insignificant. It’s not like the ravens had a good offense. Once they got ahead, the ravens pretty much sat on the ball. The giants had a very good defense. The ravens had a great one. 2011, the giants faced a similar type of team in the NFC title game in SF. Different eras as it was much more difficult to defend in 2011 than 2000 with all of the flags, so just looking at numbers doesn’t tell the whole story. That 49er defense was similar to the ravens in the speed they had. Had the best imitator of Ray Lewis in Patrick Willis. The big key to the giants winning that game was zero turnovers and they collected 2. They also had better field position. Some of it was luck as the ball was in harm’s way multiple times, but the 49ers didn’t convert, which was rare for them as they forced the most or 2nd most TOS that year and had the best TO margin. Also gave up the fewest points. I personally think that SF was a better team, but that’s not always how football works. The giants capitalized on some fortunate bounces and made the key plays to win
@@roberttulcin631 Kyle Williams fumbled the ball in overtime and the Giants recovered and it was sudden death from that point. And Wes Welker dropped a pass that would've put the game out of reach. Mistakes can kill you. The 2011 Giants, in my opinion, are the worst Super Bowl winning team, I'm sorry to say it. They got lucky numerous times that season from Jason Pierre Paul's field goal block against the Cowboys to save their season, to Kyle Williams fumble, to Wes Welker's dropped pass, etc. But in the end they got the job done and that's all that matters
@@jarod3931 Wes Welker didn’t make the tough catch. Mario Manningham did. Football is just as much about what disaster you avoid as it is the great plays you make. You can call the giants a dog team in 2011, but they beat a 13-3 Pats team led by Tom Brady twice, 15-1 packers led by Rodgers who was off the charts that year, and 13-3 49ers who probably had the most complete team in the league that year, but also lost to the skins twice. They played to the level of their competition that year. Played like champions against the best teams, but dropped off against lesser teams. The Kyle Williams fumble in OT was a good play by Jacquian Williams to punch it out. The one in regulation was a bad bounce. That’s how it goes sometimes. If the giants have even 1 turnover in that game, they probably would have lost. Their D also showed up that day and matched SF shot for shot. SF was something like 1/14 on 3rd down
I was going for the Giants both times in those Super Bowls, coming from a Cowboys fan ironically. Both 2007 and 2011 were hell of seasons winning the Super Bowl when nobody thought they would win it, probably much less get to the Super Bowl. If you watch the America's Game on both those teams I would say they are the best of the series. Michael Strahan also made it funny by making fun of Eli Manning throughout the documentary 😂
The 2000 Ravens defense gave up fewer points in 19 games than the 1985 bears gave up in 16 games. The 2000 Ravens were the ONLY team in history to not give up an offensive point in the SB.
@@christopherwhite542 NOT TOTALLY 💯 INSURMOUNTABLY CORRECT THERE NOW PAL!!! The 1985 Chicago Bears 🐻 were WAY BETTER than the 2000 Baltimore Ravens 🐦⬛ themselves there now no doubt. The Ravens 🐦⬛ had a cupcake 🧁 schedule of easy opponents there as opposed to the Bears 🐻 themselves now, so don’t even give me a weak ass response such as that one up above ⬆️ or to anyone for that matter now there!!! 🤙🏽🔥✅💯
No one knew at the time but this would be the last Super Bowl that individual players would come out. The Patriots bucked the tradition one year later. (The Rams were introduced individually)
The Giants gameplanned to run a turtle offense and rely on the defense to force turnovers, but the Ravens ended up winning that battle. They shoulda put all their chips in the table and played the same game against the Vikings, spreading them out instead of thinking they could do something with two slow tight ends on the field. Spread offense and Tiki Barber were their best bets to do anything on offense.
I kinda feel bad for all those Giants fans. That must've been a miserable experience during that second half. I think the stadium was like 75% Giants fans. Go Ravens!
The Giants cheated in both games before this. I'm sure the NFL watched them pretty close for the SB. No advantage over the Ravens look what happened. As far as how the fans felt....I feel for.PHI and MN fans rather than NY.
This Super Bowl came at such an awkward time. Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Steve Young, Troy Aikman and John Elway were all gone. Brett Favre wasn't nearly as dominant as he was a few years back and Peyton Manning was just starting to emerge. Donovan McNabb made his first Pro Bowl. Tom Brady was a no name rookie.
Troy Aikman got a 28-0 beatdown by that Ravens defense, Marino never won anything, John Eway could never win anything either without a strong running Terrell Davis. Manning was a choke artist who needed strong running and defense to win his one superbrowl and Brett Favre was a turnover machine. That Ravens 2000 defense is the best of all time and the stats prove that fact.
When Ray walked out of that tunnel and showed the entire world that it was HIS TIME to DOMINATE, the Baltimore Ravens were officially elevated into the rarefied air of WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
This reminds of how badly Dilfer threw in this game they would've had sixty points if he could pass to open receivers my God i counted ten bad passes in just the first half.
This ravens defense was the best ever. They didn’t have a lot of guys with a lot of stats like sacks, etc but they played such great swarming team defense. And they did it better than anyone.
I would love to see the pregame predictions im a giants fan and only thought we win after the Vikings game midway in the 3rd I’m like I should’ve seen this coming haha
Not totally 💯 true there! If the Ravens 🐦⬛ defense was not on their A-game performance from the beginning, then there would have most definitely 💯 been a huge chance that Kerry Collins and that high powered Giants offense would have been possibly able to torch that Ravens 🐦⬛ defense the same way they did to the Vikings in the NFC Championship Game there two weeks earlier. #Facts 🤙🏽✅🔥💯
Kerry Collins went from having a MVP performance in the NFC title game against the Minnesota Vikings there in a 41 to 0 blowout victory ✌️ no doubt, but two weeks later in the Super Bowl Championship game he literally seemed like he crapped his pants 👖 running scared 😱 for his life like a deer 🦌 in the headlights throughout the majority of the game! But let’s be honest about this, great QBs like Eli Manning alongside with his older brother Peyton even would have liked panicked 😱 in the biggest game of that particular season there as well now. And not to mention, guys like Phil Simms, Dan Marino, Jeff Hostetler, Tom Brady and John Elway even come to my mind on the same list there as well now for QB greats that would have also more than likely performed shitty against the ferocious defense in the 2000 Baltimore Ravens 🐦⬛ there too now y’all. #Facts 🤙🏽✅🔥💯
Dilfer was horrible in this game most punts in sb history both teams were bad in this game rather have seen minnesota or someone with a top five offense play that raven team but these games were all scripted anyway
This was the year when I finally understood the rules and concept of football. Also the year when i officially became a Giants fan. I never seen my dad so upset and quiet while watching this game. Since then, I want a rematch with the Ravens so bad but the way my Giants are playing, it might not happen til im a grandpa XD
& then the disastrous Cundiff missed chip shot which would have tied the game! Heart breaker! Cundiff gone in 2012 & Tucker, the future Hall of Famer came in.
The Giants were once again in the Super Bowl which is Super Bowl 35 in Tampa like they were in Super Bowl 25 in Tampa in 1991 same City but different Stadiums
Outside of the ‘76 Steelers this is the best single season defense ever. ‘85 Bears people I don’t want to hear it. This D gave up 165 points during the regular season. 14 of those were defensive points scored by Tennessee. So in reality the Ravens D only gave up 151 during the season. The Bears in ‘85 gave up 198. I know I know the two shutouts in the playoffs blah blah blah....then gave up 10 to NE in the SB....total of 208 for ‘85 Bears. The Ravens played 1 more playoff game this year because they were a wildcard. In 4 playoff games, including the SB the Ravens gave up 23 more points. 165 in the reg season + 23 more in the playoffs. Total of 188 in 20 games. Minus the 14 points Tennessee’s D scored and minus the 7 that the Giants scored in the SB because it obviously was a special teams td the Ravens D only allowed 167 points in 20 games. I’m sorry ‘85 Bears people not even an argument here. Does anyone here actually think the ‘85 Patriots would have gotten into the end zone against this D? Don’t think so.
Even though I’m a ravens fan, I still feel bad for the giants, because they worked so hard just to lose, and a sb loss is a lot different from losing a regular game
He’s good at the microphone; was poor on the field. You don’t have to be good on the field to get behind a mic. Being a player, good or bad, was never a qualification for being on air. Best example was Chuck Thompson himself.
Interesting fact about the Giants: this is the only Super Bowl they’ve played in which they didn’t face their opponent in the regular season even though they played the Ravens’ division (AFC Central) in the regular season for their nonconference schedule
Lifelong Giants fan here, and as a lifelong Giants fan, I'm here to admit... We got our butts handed to us on that day... That unbelievable Ravens defense, it's right up there with the steel curtain Steelers D in the 70' the Giants defense in all their Super Bowl victories, let's me not forget that ridiculously scary Monsters of the Midway Bears defense in 1985... The 2000 Baltimore Ravens D, they took a backseat to absolutely NOBODY! It will go down in history as one of the greatest defenses in the history of the sport of pro football
Your defense that year wasnt too shabby either. Ravens and Giants both played a 4-3 and traditionally thats what both teams prefer. Was so glad when you guys beat Brady in the SB.
I never realized how good the Giants front 7 defense was around this time. Michael Strahan bullied Harry Swayne, Jesse Armstead and Michael Barrow were heavy hitters. The Giants secondary blew some coverages though and if Dilfer didn’t overthrow Patrick Johnson twice, the Ravens would’ve put up over 50.
The Ravens were NEVER going to score 50. You are way ahead of yourself. They scored 14 points offensively that game. They had a defensive touchdown and a kick return. Even with a GREAT offensive day they weren't going to score 50 points. Stop
@@yaahlabanyamyan144 they only had one ☝️ defensive score for a TD which was returned for 49 yards by Duane Starks on a pick6 by a very costly and extremely careless throw on the part of Kerry Collins there who literally looked like a deer 🦌 in the headlights for the majority of the game against that ferociously excellent Ravens 🐦⬛ defense there big time, which then followed up with the PAT and was only the beginning of craziness of back to back to back scores three times in a row there, which was two kickoffs for TDs there, one ☝️ by the Giants and Ravens 🐦⬛ each there. 27 of the Ravens 🐦⬛ points were on offense alongside with some special teams there and FG attempts as well now. #Facts 🤙🏽✅🔥💯
This is the first time I watch the giants in the super bowl cuz I was too young to remember 86 and 90 smh I had my Kerry Collins jersey on and I was hype smh. Boy was I disappointed
