2002 Divisional Round Steelers @ Titans

The 11-5 Titans come off their first-round bye to host Tommy Maddox and the Steelers in a classic playoff shootout.

its crazy how you can find games back to 2002 in HD but most stuff from 2008 is nowhere to be seen in anything better than 480p. Good upload tho

One of the more underrated playoffs games in NFL history.

[timhallas]

What a performance by the kicker. Should have been nominated for an Oscar.

[MerokoGaming]

RIP Air McNair, a true legend on and off the field.

[andrewbugel]

Such an underrated playoff game in my opinion. Not talked about enough!

[survivor]

I love the upgraded version to this game!! Thank you Bart Simpson!!

[JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

This game would mark

—The first-ever playoff win for the Titans/Oilers over the Steelers
—The last Titans home playoff win to date
—The last Steelers divisional round loss until 2015
—The last playoff start for Tommy Maddox

One of the greatest forgotten NFL playoff game.

[adriangrayson]

The 4th quarter of this game is one of the most violent stretches of football i’ve ever seen

[dantheman]

The only thing I remember about this game is the fireworks going off prematurely. It still makes me laugh to this day

[nicholasbauman]

Thank you for posting all these wonderful old games!

[PENS]

This was one hell of a game, sucks that it ended the way it did, but still a classic.

[jamalmccoy]

Wow! I forgot we had Tommy Maddux as our QB back then

[Millerh]

If ever there was a game that defined what pendulum means this was that game because the momentum swung back in forth in such a dramatic fashion and it came down to the end.

The Titans were a dominant team 1999-2003. I feel bad for this core group of players that they were never able to win it all. Some great generations just tragically come up short. Same thing happened to Tony Romo and Jason Witten for my team, the Cowboys

[ttanslgend]

The Titans literally bullied the Steelers in this game! The titans players were laying the smack down on them! This was one of the most physical games that I’ve ever seen. Players now days would probably quit after the first quarter if they had to play this physical

Even though being a steeler fan and losing this game, I love a tough good ole fashion football game compared to todays game

[demitirusmcneal]

Unfortunately, the Tennessee Titans lost to the Oakland Raiders in the afc championship game in 2002.

[matthewshortle]

Another sign that the Steelers play down to their competition to lose in OT.
Also, RIP Steve McNair
