What was the NFL like 10 years ago? (2010)

[Music] coming down the stretch of the 2010 regular season the miami dolphins traveled up to new york to take on the jets in a showcase of turnovers and bad quarterback play this game gave the fans watching a whopping 16 points combined it was simply a forgettable game except for this one particular play on what seemed to be the most routine punt return ever the dolphins gunner nolan carroll was laying hurt on the jet sideline and here's why it looked like he got tripped by one of the members of the jet staff watch the knee here being stuck out on purpose to trip up nolan carroll not sure who that person is but they should be ashamed of themselves for that type of action that has no place in any athletic event that person was jets assistant coach sal alossi two days following that game he was suspended indefinitely after it was discovered that he instructed inactive jets players to line up along the sideline to potentially impede opposing players this alone is insane but as you saw in the video he took matters into his own hands welcome to the 2010 nfl season prior to the season kicking off there was a lot of interesting story lines in the nfc long time eagles quarterback donovan mcnabb was coming off of a pro bowl level season how did they reward him by trading him to their bitter rival washington now philly was led by kevin cobb or so we thought would either of these teams be able to beat out the cowboys for the division up north brett favre was still hanging in there despite turning 41 in october of 2010 would he be able to keep minnesota as the team to be in the nfc north or was his successor in green bay aaron rodgers going to take the throne and lastly could the new orleans saints keep the party going coming off of that super bowl victory they had great odds at repeating for the afc questions loomed about the patriots could they bounce back and get back to their winning ways or was the dynasty over many had the mark sanchez-led jets beating them out for the division of course then there's the boom or bust cincinnati bengals palmer looks backside t.e.o [Applause] touchdown cincinnati the bengals who already had chad ocho cinco decided to add into tyrell physical running attack wide open [Applause] that's a touchdown throughout the 2000s no one brought the same loud and flamboyant style of football like chad and t.o not only were their end zone celebrations epic they had also been two of the best receivers in the game whether or not the bengals were a super bowl contender this team was going to be must watch tv looking out west although the chargers were favored to win the division all eyes were on denver because they drafted tim tebow tebow received a lot of storylines but he barely played in 2010 and denver wasn't even that good finally we have the cream of the crop the indianapolis colts were the vegas odds favorite to win the super bowl they were followed closely by the chargers saints cowboys and packers manning's legacy at this point was defined by his regular season dominance but more importantly his postseason failures with just one super bowl under his belt it was 2010 the year that he got his second super bowl

[Applause] touchdown okay i need you to try and picture this you're sitting on your couch on a monday night you've been hearing that michael vick has been playing pretty good for the eagles so you flip on your tv and turn on espn just in time for the first offensive play of the game first play from about the 12 and there is vic as you talked about john rolling and launching downfield for sean jackson [Applause] it's picked off by reed his fourth interception with the lateral landry trying to get by gross over the pylon touchdown [Applause] walker knocked down [Applause] when you look at the final regular season standings you catch up on a lot of the preseason storylines quickly the patriots were legit staking claim as the best team in the nfl the new york jets though were a fierce competitor as they split their season matchups with the patriots the steelers and ravens were led by their ferocious defenses while the bengals turned out to be a bust because i'm a browns fan i'll mention one of the few good things about them this was the peyton hillis year he had become a league-wide storyline as a dude who was built like a fullback yet he was terrorizing opponents this season got him on the madden cover the following year in the afc south the colts finished with a low-key 10-6 and then the kansas city chiefs surprisingly took the afc west in the nfc donovan mcnabb proved to not be the answer in washington and michael vick became the comeback player of the year in philly brett favre had lost his magic that he had in 2009 and he would play his final nfl snap the saints had been good but the story was really about the falcons who were the special team in the nfc roddy white had a killer season putting up all pro numbers then perhaps the best storyline of all the seattle seahawks made it into the playoffs going 7-9 this marked the worst record to ever make the nfl playoffs taken on the defending super bowl champs in the wild card they were about to get annihilated but despite the seahawks having more losses than wins they made a pretty important trade mid-season acquiring this running back from buffalo as opposed to when the saints have the ball oh look at this run better run marshawn lynch still on his feet has blockers now he's dancing his way for the touchdown that's as good an effort as i've ever seen in my life from a running back [Applause] [Music] the 2010-2011 playoffs were kicked off in epic fashion starting with the upsets of both super bowl teams from the previous year the jets squeaked by on this field goal and seattle had arguably the play of the decade by marshawn lynch to take them into the divisional round also in the wild card baltimore crushed kansas city and green bay philly came down to the wire in the divisional round there was a bloodbath that took place between baltimore and pittsburgh despite the ravens getting up on the scoreboard early the steelers pulled it out in the final minutes green bay would end up blowing out number one seat atlanta this was behind a dominant four touchdown performance by aaron rodgers then the following day the bears the team that i haven't talked about that much in this video got the best of the still losing record seahawks chicago was led by their top five nfl defense guys like brian urlacher lance briggs and julius peppers and then you can't forget devin hester the big question mark about this team all year had been whether or not jay cutler was the guy so many people hated this dude yet here the bears were going to the nfc championship then in the final divisional game the jets faced off against the patriots in new england third down snap sanchez well the weather phil it is 15 with a wind chill of five and light breezes just what you would expect this time of year in pittsburgh conference championship weekend left us two intriguing matchups the steelers versus the jets two teams built on tough defense and running the ball and chicago versus green bay the classic historical rivalry of the nfl the afc championship got out of hand in the first half the steelers pounced and never looked back the jets tried to make a fourth quarter comeback but it was too little too late the nfc championship was a grinder in a defensive battle this single play was the defining moment on third down and five pressure pass is picked off and who is it big bj raji for the touchdown i saw this comment under the full game replay of the nfc championship it was a heartbreaker because bears fans had waited five long years to get back to this point only to have their quarterback decide he couldn't finish the game perhaps the worst part was caleb haney played better than jay cutler the bears have never quite been the same since this game what's crazy is it's actually been worse for the jets they haven't even been to the playoffs since they lost that game [Music] super bowl 45 featured two of the premier franchises in nfl history the pittsburgh steelers who had the most super bowl victories of any team and the green bay packers who had the most overall championships of all time the steelers were recent victors of the title just two years before whereas the packers hadn't been in the big dance since brett favre took him there over a decade before now it was the new man in town this was aaron rodgers chance to prove himself rogers jordy nelson touchdown greenberg to the two-minute warning here in arlington over the middle caught [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] rogers looking left comes to his right jennings [Applause] what a throw touchdown pittsburgh version this season defensively on a pitch successful to antoine randallo lot of now this ball is incomplete but it was a fourth down pass and green bay will take over the final snap of super bowl 45 the green bay packers have won the super bowl looks like we're going to get some pressure on the inside by the 49ers good protection wide open is donald driver and he pitches it all gets away and is in the end zone a touchdown for driver [Music] that looked like one of those plays out of the vintage 1929 film guys [Music] you
