Totally agreed. Harrison and Polamalu were insane. It's definitely the main reason they were the best team this year; I was actually stunned looking back to see how bad of a season Ben had by his standards this year despite it being one of the years he won a ring. Yes he had that final drive in the Super Bowl, but I think he only threw 2 more touchdowns than interceptions all season.
No running game or o-line, lot's of drops by everyone. Even the punting situation was a mess. It was all Ben and the D. The 2008 Steelers D is the Best since the 2000 Ravens IMO. What Ben was able to do in clutch moments with that offense sets him apart. Nobody else could hang in there like Ben did in 2008.
I know they were 11-0 at some point during that season but did you watch the offense? That offense was complete dogshit. They also didn't face any good QB.
My very first nfl game. I watched this game on tv when I was a child. my family lives in Houston but i loved how the Steelers played in this game and once the game ended I became a Steelers fan. 🖤💛
Allen Bennett I have some cousins who live in Pittsburgh. they go to every Steelers home game and livestream the game for me to watch. thats the closest I have felt being there.
Mike Tomlin is so cute with his little hat and his golf shirt and Fischer-Price headset acting like he does something important. (He's a special-teams coordinator, at best.)
Prior to Kickoff the franchise honored the passing of 1/2 of the original Steel Curtain: Ernie "FATS" Holmes (January 17, 2008), and Dwight "MAD DOG" White (June 6, 2008)
Dont every team get a ring for winning the SB? Im a Steeler fan and the "we got 6" is old and irrelevant now as the Patriots have tied us and Brady has 7. So Pit isnt the lead dogs anymore. The 08 season is ancient history, 2 decades ago. We r in the 2020s and need a new ring!

I'm not a Steelers fan but this 2008 team was one of the most underrated defense's ever.

Yup. I think 17 TD and 15 INT's.

Lol man where u get your weed at? I need that shit u smoking! 😂

Fun fact every yr the Steelers won the SB their opening drive of the season led to a TD
poppop artist I agree
Well I hope y’all never have another opening season td drive again
Tyrell McKinney may not , but there will be another Super Bowl
Interesting. They have done it six times-
So, curious… is the complimentary function true as well? If SB win, then first drive TD = True. Is first drive TD, then SB win = True?

Apparently Mendenhall never learned to hold the ball high and tight SB 45
51:14 Can a center be more humiliated?
I think the only Player left on the steelers from the 2008 team is Big Ben. Wow
Now? Our guy is done
🥲
What a defense! :o
Do you have the 2008 week 10 game Ravens @ Texans?
The texans defense was actually good
I was at that game
Im on Missouri Tigers team in college and im backup Free saved and i did meet Drew lock. And im cheifs fan to.
Your grammar and spelling screams athletic scholarship.
pretorious700 this is a hilarious comment.
1:36:00 Leftwich had the worst throwing motion ive ever seen. Wind-up like a baseball pitch or a fisherman casting a rod
Do you have Saints vs Lions 2014?
Randy Cross? Was Homer Simpson unavailable?

And, every time the Steelers won the SB, they got a ring......6x
