The CRAZIEST Monday Night Comeback! (Dolphins vs. Jets 2000, Week 8) 

Going off the cuff here but I'd have to rate this as one of the Top 5 greatest/most famous MNF games ever. Other games that spring to mind: 1978 Dolphins vs Oilers "The Luv Ya Blue Game" 1985 Bears vs Dolphins "Dolphins protect their franchise undefeated season mark against the vaunted Bears" 1983 Packers vs Redskins "offense up the wazoo" 2018 Chiefs vs Rams "Video game come to life"

Here’s how you know you’re a football fan. Even if your team is not involved, you still get hyped!

My dad went to this game. The only reason why he didn't leave when they were down 30-7 in the 4th was because "if everyone's leaving at the same time, stay a little let the traffic go little and a little faith in your team" Boy was that worth it

You know it's epic when the video literally skips the first 3 quarters and there's still 16 minutes left to watch.

Jumbo Elliot staring at the big screen has Patrick Star "it's a giraffe" written all over his face 😂

Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets: 2000- thrilling game between two inspired teams 2019- *ULTIMATE TANK BOWL!*

Jason Taylor was waving goodbye to the crowd when they were blowing out the Jets and was nearly in tears when they lost

I remember staying up with my dad watching this game. Arnold Schwarzenegger at halftime said that the Jets would win and he was right. My dad also let me stay home from school the next day.

Dolphins really blew a 23 pt lead in 1 quarter smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

This was at a time when 20 point + comebacks were extremely rare as the passing game was not close to being as evolved or explosive as it is today.

Awwww, no clip of The Governator predicting the Jets' comeback right before it happened?

Vinny was calling his own plays the whole 4th quarter too; legend. Spreading the ball and moving down field.

Back when these teams were decent

After losing Marino the Finns have been cat food since.

Using nicknames like “Fins” was almost as tacky and y2k as Dennis Miller in the booth…

And now, these two teams meet again this Sunday... in a midseason Tank Bowl. Oh how much things can change in 20 years.

NFL Throwback man back when these teams weren’t a laughingstock in the NFL tho , it’s sad to even watch Miami now

Jets: we have the craziest MNF comeback 2003 Colts and Peyton Manning: Am I joke to u

Jets were 6-1 and finished the season 9-7.....

Man their would be a lot of flags on the defense for those hits these days

I remember exactly where I was and who I was with on this night. And I’m a Browns fan. That’s how awesome this game was.

Both teams came into this game a combined 10-2. Imagine that happening nowadays. But the Dolphins and Jets is still a great rivalry regardless, hopefully one day there will be more games with something besides draft position on the line.

I always remember I was Jr in highschool. Went to sleep (turn the TV off) but left the radio on to listen to the finish. Remember listening like no I'm dreaming. Next morning found out they can't back lol

I’m here today watching this, because Vinny Testaverde is a guest at my job (catering hall on Long Island NY) and what a great memory he brought to us Jet fans that special Monday night game!

aaaaand the jets still missed the playoffs that year lol

Back when Dennis Miller joined Al Michaels and Dan Fouts in the Monday Night Football Booth

This has to be one of the best prime time games of all time. I love how the game practically went throughout the whole night, I love the classic Vinny Testevarde playing three horrible quarters and playing like Joe Montana at the end, I love Dave Wannstedt mustache

Remember the falcons super bowl blowout that looked like this massacre? Oh wait...

Not a fan of either team but I STILL remember watching this as a kid, alone in my living room sitting on the floor, not even supposed to be awake, with the volume really low. an all-time classic for me.

why do I remember the games I watched when I was 10 more than the games I watched when I'm 30?

This whole week was a wild one in NY sports. This MNF game was on the off night between games 2 & 3 of the World Series which that year was the Mets vs Yankees Subway Series. SO many wacky & wild moments just in the 4th quarter alone here. How about the fact that the Jets got like 22 or 23 1st downs in that period? Crazy stats, just shows you how a game is never over till its over.

I was watching this game on TV and gave up on my Jets. An hour later my roommate comes down and tells me I missed the greatest comeback ever. I thought he was BS'ing me.

I love the little snippets of information at times in the bottom right hand of the screen. Especially that win probability changing that much in the 4th quarter.

When Vinny was doing it, he was doing it and doing it well.

I remember watching this game with my grandma in LA but we were New Yorkers that day! We still talk about this game. This game me a lil jets fan on the inside.

Big Jumbo Elliott 🔥

If gase was the coach their wouldn’t have been a Monday night miracle

This was a game between the 5-1 Jets vs the 5-1 Dolphins in 2000...tomorrow it will be the 1-6 Jets vs the 0-7 Dolphins....times have changed a lot

I think that is most excited I’ve ever seen al Michaels get ever Edit: When I wrote this comment I forgot about the other moments you guys listed but this is one of the most exciting times in broadcasting that al Micheals has ever gotten (Sorry if that was confusing. I didn’t really know how to explain it.)

Its crazy that the jets that season ended up finishing 9-7 and didn't make the playoffs

19 First downs for the Jets in the 4th quarter! Just amazing 15 mins of football at the end and then the OT

9:26 OMFG. Everyone talks about Jumbo but jesus christ Richie Anderson with an absolute HERO play here or the game is over

I grew up in NY and have spent most of my life living on the east coast but by some miracle I was living in Oregon for about 6 months for a job in the second half of 2000. Most of my family went to bed when it looked like the game was over but I got to see the comeback. It was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen in sports.

This was likely the most exciting game that I ever watched. Even Dennis Miller couldn't ruin it. Wayne Chrebet was always fun to watch.

This was the only football game I ever went to. Amazing game!

Even though I'm a diehard packers fan, having grown up in that era I will never forget this game .... even though look at these teams now ...

I remember watching this with my dad, we were both going nuts. Very fun memory

Damn both teams 5-1...

The Jets really blew a 6-1 start to the season to end 9-7? How would they go on to go 3-6 in those next 9 games?

That Brian Walker stamp! Had 96 tackles, 2 sacks, and 7 picks that year.

this game always gets me hyped for football, def a top 3 regular szn game in history

I remember watching this game vividly. Everyone was talking about it the next day!

This was the best MNF game I can remember watching. I remember everybody was leaving the stadium and then there was a camera shot of everyone flooding back in.

I was 22 years old when I watch this game. I watched the entire game from the left side of a bar that I use to go to. By the end of the game all my friends were down there and this win against Miami on a Monday night was a Highlight of Jets history

I watched football since 1995 an a Greenbay fan but somebody let me know if thats Thurman Thomas the running back with Miami because I did not know that he played for someone else besides buffalo lol

Classic. One of the greatest games I have ever watched live. My Co worker slept on it early "What do mean they f***ing win? That's not possible!" And would not believe me until he saw the daily paper 😅

Me and my boy were there , 40 yard line , 12 rows deep , Miami’s sideline . That’s the night he coined the phrase , NGU ,,, ever give up . Miss you so much Kid , till I see you again ......

vinny testaverde appears to have the weakest arm of all time lmao

i miss these jets :(

I remember taping this part of the game and having to go to work the next morning!

👏👏👍. I was living in a mid-town nyc apt with my wife & 3 month old baby son, & made a wish to the football gods, that, if the jets win, I'd scream out our the window: "j-e-t-s"! At about 1am in the morning, I woke the neighborhood & our son up by screaming up & down 49th st. He woke, stared at me & went back to sleep. He was captain of his H.S football team, is in college now, bleeds green & white, & is looking forward to the 2020🏈season. thanks for posting, fun memory 🍻👍🖒

I was 14 when it happened and I loved watching it when it happened, definitely nostalgic.....and CLASSIC!

i remember this fucking game i was doing homework and just left the game on. by the 4th quarter i didn't get my homework done the next day and the teacher gave me an incomplete.

You know the Jets are one of the most uninteresting teams but this was put together to make it as thrilling as heck! Nice work.

there were so many great players on the early 2000's jets team, a shame they couldn't get a ring

I remember when this was top tier picture quality haha

Goat channel, brings back childhood memories. Damn I feel old. Go Jets

I was there up until the start of the fourth quarter. My friends and I decided to get ahead of the heavy traffic back into Manhattan. We could hear cheers out on the concourse and again on the exit ramps and still more in the parking lot. We turned on the radio in the car and listened… we were convinced that if we tried to re-enter the stadium we would jinx it.

The Meadowlands meeting in 1986 was also a classic game.

Rembering you Kid . ,,,,,,,,,,,,,At :10 me and my son Anthony were at the 40 yard line 13 rows deep . The day after his 10th Birthday . We were getting blown out but when Coles scored it gave us something to cheer about . Then Wiggins scored and everything was going the Jets way . Chrebet sets up the field goal and we’re down by 7 with plenty of time . But it was the Cox sack that got my boy up on his feet jumpin up and down as loud as can be . We were late , missed most of the 1st quarter so staying late didn’t bother me so much . I noticed a lot of the fans left and was glad we stayed . Jumbos catch made it a great comeback , but Coleman’s 2nd int. made it a miracle . Chrebet gets us in field goal range and Jason Taylor was practically in tears . Hall kicks the winning fg and me and my son are high 5ing everyone . Whatta night , huh Ant ? RIP son , till I’m with you again in Heaven .,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I’m a dolphin fan since the 70’s when I first started watching football and growing up on LINY where most people were Jets fans. Bob Griese and Don Strock were the QBs with Tony Nathan at RB and Nat Moore at WR, Killer B’s on D. I remember so many moments over the years, AJ Duhe mud bowl vs Jets, the 81 chargers/dolphins hook and latter play, 85 bears Monday night to preserve only undefeated season, fake spike play…I go to college at Niagara 91-94 the 4 years the Bills go to the Super Bowl, I’ve been to Dolphin games in Buffalo/NE/NY/Miami and they’ve never won. This was the last game I ever attended and knew then it was just not meant to be. It’s been a struggle being a fan the first 2 decades of the 2000’s but I hope McD can be our next Shula and get this team back into the Super Bowl story

What an incredible 4th quarter. Holy crap that was fun.

TIL Thurman Thomas finished his career with Miami

Ah...A time when bandwagon Pats fans didn’t exist..Good times.

Nothing but a classic

Oh I remember this, it was called the Monday Night Miracle. I saw it on TV in Charlotte NC. Even after his achilles injury, Testaverde could ball.

I miss the old Monday night football, when the game of the week was on Monday not Sunday.

They actually had Fins on the score board lol

Best comeback game I ever seen

Thank You NFL Throwback for letting me get excited for at least 1 Jets game this year lol..

After this past (2022 playoff weekend) nice to see part of this game.

I have been a Jets fan forever. I had moved to the Carolinas in August 2000 but still bled Green. I got stuck working late this Monday night when all I wanted to do was watch the Jets on MNF. I walked through my door rushed to the TV...the Jets were down 30-7. I was so tired I rested my eyes(for about 6 hours). Woke up to find out that I missed the Jets greatest game of all time. Murphy's Law. Go Green!!!!!

Nice highlight NFL Throwback

Damn I forgot about this amazing game.

Wow I remember this game like it was yesterday

0:03 Wait, wait, wait. How are both of these teams 5-1 😂😂😂😂

I was at this game. The ONLY reason I stayed was because of how much I paid the scalper for the tickets. When I got home, both my parents were sleeping. They went to bed at beginning of the 4th. I woke them up and we celebrated… they are definitely I. Heaven right now excited about us getting rodgers!

I remember this stayed up late in job corps watching this

I knew who was gonna win but was still hyped up. Even as a Bears fan I'd have loved to see this game live

Nice vid

I miss this NFL. Notice how there weren’t any highly choreographed dance routines to celebrate every single accomplishment imaginable.

UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!!

Crazy my dad stayed up on a work night to watch this he’s a Miami fan and tells me to this day he knew something was weird so he watched till the end

Marcus Coleman with the paws in OT what good coverage play luckily he made up for that fumble 😂

Anyone miss when a catch was a catch and took 2 seconds to confirm it was a catch

His eyes at 10:43 lol

You can tell the excitement in Al Michaels voice. He was a big Jets fan Jets were a playoff team that year and should've gotten in

This is the most exciting event ever in the history of Monday nights. Jets versus dolphins for the win, the most greatest comeback in the history of NFL Monday night Football

what a game

Stadium is rocking
