A classic mix of offense & defense. A true powerhouse, the 04’ team just didn’t have enough behind a rookie Ben to get to the big show. A year later, he fulfilled his promise to Jerome Bettis & got him a ring. Hines mocking TO, twice.. has to be one of my all time favorite moments. If you haven’t subscribed, join in on the ride! It’s going to be a great year! 🖤💛

I’ll always remember this year. I was in 2nd grade, NFL 2K5 just came out and everyone hyped the eagles up preseason because they got TO. And we beat the fuck out of them.

What a magical day. A couple buddy Eagle fans went with me to that game and sat with our group. The tailgate before and after was soooo much fun. That game could've seen us score 50 if we wanted. What a blast.

Ward could take a questionable throw & turn it in to an impossible reception. Was so very impressed when there was talk of trading him to another team and he said he could not play for any other team than the Steelers & he retired. He was missed. Another great video, Itz.

T.O. sh*ting McNabb's ear said it all! Another feel good STEELERS video!

Im a bills fan but loved this era, loved watching the steelers, miss hearing rock n roll part 2 as a song in sports. I miss the igloo, mario, jags and others. I love my bills and sabres but i for some reason was glued to Pittsburgh sports. Love the black/yellow and the very real identity of steeler football. Tj watt screams Pittsburgh. Will miss ben. Ben from even 3 year's ago had a chance against the chiefs.

I forgot how fun it was to watch Willie Williams.... What a memory watching ward split those 2 dudes for his first touchdown too. I love your vids yinz, thank you for the work!!

Damn young Ben was something else

LOOK AT US RUNNING THE FOOTBALL. WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THIS.

These are so much fun to watch. Brings back memories... I was born a Steelers fan, but had moved across the country... then got NFL Sunday Ticket as soon as it came out and didn't miss watching a single game from 1994 until 2009. 2004/05 Steelers will always be my favorite.

It's crazy that these two teams are actually the original franchises of each other.

One thing I miss frm these years is the linebackers and the Bus it doesn't get no better this is STEELERS FOOTBALL

What I see is a QB with a FB and mature running game. Offensive balance. These guys might be good enough to go to the Super Bowl.

Amazing! Such domination on both offense and defense!

Nice tribute to TO Hines Ward. LOLOL. TO got his Wittle Baby Birdie Wings Clipped Big Time. Then he even tries chasing McNabb up and down the sideline telling him to throw him the ball and when McNabb throws it to him, TO drops it. CLASSIC !!!!

From this game, the only player still active in the league today is Roethlisberger

This was the second of back to back wins that rank among the best in Steelets history.

I remember getting in a argument with a dude 15 minutes before the game on whether you wanted TO or Hines Ward on your team. I acknowledged TO was a special talent and had better numbers. I also I told him Hines was who you needed if you wanted to win, cause that’s what he was there for. He was pretty quiet after the first 5 minutes of this game.

Where things went South for T.O in Philly.

They beat the Eagles and the Patriots in back to back weeks that year! (The Super bowl teams)😉

2004 is a "Missing Ring" for Pittsburgh. We would've destroyed Philly in the Super Bowl.

Miss these Steelers this what we need back

What a brutal beating

Wow, a young mobile Big Ben. Miss him playing already!!!

It's Plaxico Burress interrupting the celebration for me. 😂

What a fun season that was!

Farrior should've been the DPOTY in 2004. No offense to Ed Reed because he's an all time great, but Farrior nearly matched him in turnovers and did match him in TDs and was also a run stopping machine in the middle of the league's best defense.

We should have one the superbowl that year and if it wasn't for SpyGate I bet we would of

Can’t wait to see the Eagles again this season💯😎

Crazy that we beat both teams that ended up in the Super Bowl that year. I really miss that running game we used to have under Bill Cowher where we would just pound teams.

Man the good ol days. Eagles were a good squad that year too.

GOD DAMN. I miss football- when it's like this. NOTHING like how it is today. And that just SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had Ed Reed not had the year he had for The Baltimore Ravens that year, James Farrior probably would have won defensive player of the year in 2004. He was a beast that season still have his jersey.

The team that peaked too early. God Faneca was special and Farrior was the best free agent pick up ever!!!

Remember watching this game with my Dad- who was a diehard Eagles fan. I kept offering to buy him a Bus jersey if he wanted to switch from the Dark side lol.

These older Steeler videos make me feel better! "First Qtr stats a total of 3yrds for the eagles" Our defense should be lights out this year! Having said that like last year if the old line can gel and play professionally then nobody should be able to stop us with the threats we have in the run and pass game!

A shame this team fell short they were awesome

Can’t wait until we meet them in the Super Bowl!!! I’m from Philly. The Eagles own us when we go to Philadelphia though unfortunately!

Steelers took the Eagles to school in this game.

2004 will always bother me as a Steelers fan. Yes, Ben started playing like a rookie down the stretch but he was still making plays. The 2004 Steelers were the best team in the NFL and they had a rookie QB. They had the number 1 ranked defense and a dominant running game. They beat back to back undefeated teams at mid season and decisively so. They were 15-1 with zero losses with Ben at QB (13-0) Spygate is the reason it ended and Goodell admitted to Arlin Specter that the Halloween Steelers Pats game was one of the many tapes and notes confiscated from Belichick. NE that year wouldn't have won the AFC title game if not for jumping out early off of the knowledge of the defensive signals.

This Steelers team peaked too soon. Kicked the crap out of both SB teams in back to back weeks. This game wasn’t as close as the score. They were a powerful bunch. After the game one of the eagles linebackers stated he had never been on a defense so physically overwhelmed….he said postgame they took our manhood lol.

Mis acereros serán lo mejor

Any way you look at it, Hines Ward was a badass. Duce Staley rocking the sweats on the sidelines. Collingsworth sucking on commentary. Some things never change.

Thank god we were at home. If it was in philly, steelers would've been crushed

The Steelers can get back to this. The D is set. Now just downfield passing and run the damm ball

On this 2021 team if we had this Offensive Line with Najee Harris were goin to the Superbowl

The 04 steelers destroyed both teams to make the superbowl that year. Both undefeated. Went 15-1 ben was undefeated. The only thing that stopped them from winning the superbowl was spygate!

Now they’re embarrassing us.

As a Ravens fan, this is probably the only time I ever rooted for the Black and Gold, because I despised Terrell Owens.

Ugh Collinsworth on the call for the game! I bet he was pissed the Steelers won since he used to play for Cincinnati. Now I see why FOX dumbed him to NBC.
