Young Stars Clash in the Windy City! (Eagles vs. Bears, 2001 NFC Divisional) 

I admire Fox's old futuristic graphics

The forgotten early game on before the Tuck Rule game in Jan 02

I loved how mcnabb scrambled around the pocket to keep the play alive like Russell Wilson.

Final game at old soldier field and also the final game for the lower case "Chicago" and "Bears" in the endzone. They should go back to this style!

The Eagles would never had made the playoffs from 2000-03 without McNabb at QB! He worked magic with GARBAGE wide receivers

I remember this game. The Bears and Eagles allowed the fewest points that year, so everyone anticipated a defensive battle. But the Bears had no answers for McNabb.

many folks dont realize, how good McNabb really was.. just that escape-ability alone, would drive opposing teams up the wall

Last time I was this early it was called the NFL Vault

The one thing I remember about this game was it simultaneously being played with the return of Michael Jordan to Chicago playing with the Wizards.

Mcnabb never should’ve bulked up like he did. Got slower and heavier and started getting hurt more. His first few seasons he had game changing quickness.

This is such a great channel. You guys deserve more subs. Its so cool to see past games that you haven't seen before. EDIT: Thanks so much for the edit 😁!

Dang This was 17 years ago already??? sheeessshhh!

Jim Miller and Cade McNown kept this Bears team from truly competing. Somehow still went 13-3!!!

I'm getting old. But I love you for reminding me of it

As an Eagles fan, I sure do love having Nick Foles & Carson Wentz, but man, I sure do miss watching McNabb, especially pre-ACL tear. He was an absolute BEAST! Such a shame they couldn't get him any decent receivers outside of the locker room cancer T.O. In hindsight, McNabb kind of reminds me of a mix between Russell Wilson & Dak Prescott... He wasn't quite the prestine passer nor quite as clutch in the 4th quarter as Wilson was & didn't make the right decisions as much as Wilson does, but he was one hell of a deep ball passer, could throw on the run beautifully, had great sack-escaping ability, & was pretty accurate more often than not, just like Wilson. And he was kind of like Dak in that he was a bigger guy who could truck guys, make big running plays, & throw absolute bullets, but he at times missed reads, threw sloppy passes, held onto the ball too long & got confused by blitzes, & made questionable decisions.

Seems to be a running theme with Bears playoff teams in the 2000s. Carried by a stellar defense, ultimately let down by an 'okay' offense with suspect QB play. Let's see how it plays out this year.

I miss the McNabb Eagles. And this is coming from a Raven fan

Another great bears season taken too soon, felt like this a couple of weeks ago

As an Eagles fan... I miss that defense lol

Love being able to go back and watch guys like Lynch, Urlacher, Brooks and Dawkins

Urlacher was a beast. Great pass coverage,run stopper,and brutal pass rusher. The Bears always seem to get the good defensive players. Dawkins was also a monster before Kam Chancellor was a thought. A Hybrid with sick coverage and very hard hitting. I miss these guys.

It's sad that them Urlacher Beats never had a decent QB

yo that touchdown sound effect needs to make a comeback asap, that is so bad ass lol

Look at soldier field before the renovation.

Damon Moore didn't last very long in Philadelphia, but he had a nice postseason in 2001.

Eagles fans really can't give Wentz any excuses if you look at these guys McNabb was throwing to.

That head to head hit at 1:38 would have definitely been called a Pennelly in today’s NFL. Also McNabb was a beast back in the day one of my favorite Eagles players.

This might have been Mcnabbs best effort over an entire playoff game versus another teams D line. His movement and pocket awareness were on point here. Bears had a strong D that year too.

Soldier field looked so different

The Eagles kicker David Akers was on the team in the 2000s during the 2004 super bowl and now he is a part of the Franchise of the Super Bowl Win over the Patriots in 2018

Do you remember the 1988 NFC divisional playoffs Philadelphia Eagles vs Chicago Bears known as the fog Bowl Soldier Field in Chicago Illinois with AstroTurf

The old paint look good on the stadium

With all the ups and downs this season and injuries along the way it’s only fit that this eagles team is the 6 seed. They may win tmw they may not. I’m just happy they at least made it and didn’t give up mid season

I meet McNabb and Staley after this game at midway airport. It was a kind of bittersweet moment. But McNabb was super humble

How did Todd Pinkston have a career at all. Guy dropped every ball thrown to him.

They didnt show the cheap shot by Hugh Douglass knocking out Miller

Last game at Soldier field before the reno.

Last game at the old Solider Field

That roar from that bear crown when Merritt scored.

It's actually amazing that McNabb got the Eagles to the playoffs every year with hardly any receivers throughout his career.

Who’s going to prevail in today’s match up? Two well respected teams in playoff action should be a very enjoyable game experience. Get those snacks at the ready for NFL action at its best! Those men will risk life and limb to bring their respective fans more hope for glory.

McNair and McNabb really get overlooked in the NFL history when mentioning QBs..The Eagles went to 4 straight NFC title games

Do any of Chiefs and Colts playoffs games from the 95, 03. 06, or 13 seasons

People forget how good Donovan mcnabb was cause of the criticism he faced after Eagles traded him

Donovan and Steve McNair had similar styles of play at the quarterback position. They were fun to watch growing up

Jim Miller. Shane Matthews. Cade McNown. Rex Grossman. Imagine if they had a QB with this defense? Terrible.

3:16 I mIsS tHe OlD dAyS wHeN yOu CoUlD hIt ThE qUaRtErBaCk

Mcnabb was so good with his legs early in his carrer

I dont give a shit about what anybody says about mcNabb. Show a qb in nfl history that made 4 strait nfc champ games with THAT wr corps....

This was 1 of 3 times that the Eagles defeated the team with the number 1 scoring defense in the NFL in the playoffs and scored the most points that defense had allowed all season. The Bears allowed only 12.7 points per game in 2001 and the Eagles nearly tripled that total. The Saints gave up an average of just 12.8 points in 1992 before Philly dropped 36 on their head in the playoffs. Then in 2017 the Vikings lead the league by holding opponents to an average of 15.6 points but got smashed by the Birds 38-7 in the NFC Championship game.

Urlacher was Stoped by shitty QBs on his Team and McNabb was stopped by never having Great Weapons

Smh bears quarterbacks were so bad back then. That defense had a major weakness against passing too

Grateful. Fly Eagles Fly.

Daam I remember this game like yesterday I was in 7th grade 11 yrs old or 12 lol and I'm 31 now. The A train (Anthony Thomas) rookie year I believe was a beast and big part of that offense even tho there QB went down in the season and the backup was a game manager. Wasn't enough in the playoffs tho. Bears were 13-3 that year I believe and one and done in playoffs

Todd Pinkston has brick hands

The good ole days

This brings back some painful memories from when I was 12.

Do you answer please do you have this full game where can i watch this?

Do the Cowboys vs Seahawks 2007 playoff game

Donovan Mcnabb best game in an eagle uniform

If I remember right Mike Brown got a concussion in this game and they took his helmet away, the Bears were never the same team when he wasn’t on the field, 05 and 06 were perfect examples of that. He was the man but the body gave out. Urlacher got the headlines (rightfully so), but MB was the heart and soul of that D.

Two years after Eagles fans booed McNabb at the draft, he took them to the playoffs!! They didn’t deserve the run of success they had under McNabb!

Donavan McNabb can write a book on who to move around in the pocket... Its a thing of beauty... 🤟🏽🤙🏽💙

How is the hit on Miller not included in the highlights? Major negligence there, Mr. Editor.

This was one of those games where the Eagles were “beating” the bears in most parts of the game, but were a few plays away from the score gap being much wider.

Boy was that a gifted TD lol. Roughing the Passer my ass lmao

Mcnabb was the man But damn im tired of us BEAR FANS Going in games Always with the Lesser QB THATS OUR HISTORY

4:57 this would happen so much more if teams used a fullback

It hurt me a great deal to see my 2001 Bears end the season like this. I thought we would get to the NFC Championship game in STL. ☹️

Both McNabb and Urlacher went to a Super Bowl. Neither one won a ring.

James Thrash is still one of my favorite players ever, and I'm not even an Eagles fan.

This contest was called by the trio of Dick Stockton, Daryl Johnston and Troy Aikman

#5 was so good!!!

Yes let go eagles. History gotta repeat it self tomorrow

20 years ago tonight. 1/19/2022

Back when soldier field didn’t have the spaceship thing

Oh how I miss the hybrid 90s

I'm a Giants fan but Donovan McNabb was a good quarterback imagine Randy Moss on the eagles

Forgot how much of a weapon McNabb was. Run and throw- dude could do it all.

I remember turning this off after the roughing the passer .Never watched the NFL again. Totally fixed.!!!

I think this was the last Bears game at the old Soldier Field before all the awful renovations.

6:45 DUCE LOOKS LIKE 2017 COREY CLEMENT

McNabb did more with less better than anyone Ive ever seen. Brady always had a go to. McNabb had T.O. For one and a half seasons. Put some respect on that man’s name.

Mcnabb working the ball down the field!

Todd pinkies together tried to lose that game for us, i remember how much he was just a deep threat but that was a great pass into the endzone he dropped. Ppl give Nelson crap but he made tons of plays for Wentz compared to Jefferies who only makes plays for foles.

The moment you remember pretty much none of the stars on those teams won a Super Bowl with those teams and the QBs they lost their only chance too won a combined total of 8 Super Bowls.

how did this bears team go 13-3 with this qb? he was garbage

I remember this game. Wanted Philadelphia to win. I like Dovann 👍 👌

As a football fan, nothing sucks much more than losing your starting QB in the middle of a playoff game. This game would have been tough to win, with or without Jim Miller. But if you need a QB to make a big play, Shane Matthews was not the guy you want to see under center

We aint had no consistent offense in forever. Defense be on the field the whole game keepin us in it smh.

Buckhalter was under appreciated.

Shouldve never changed the stadium ):

Fox has the best opening football music ever created

Also, holy crap, this made me realize Troy Aikman has been calling games forever!

I miss these days McNabb played wit trash but they defense was amazing

McNabb was special when he was good shape like this game. When he started gaining weight around the mid to late '00s, he just declined.

Bruh who tf was mcnabb throwing tooo LOL. His elusiveness was crazy he was a 6’2 Russel Wilson

2001 bears- one of the most forgotten 1 and done top seeds ever in the nfl

What about the FOG BOWL?

I love how the Bears had zero clue how to line up against empty 😂
