The Bears not only overcame the Cardinals, they even more impressively overcame Rex Grossman.
Yeah, but only for THIS game! The Trubisky experiment is over. Fields is going to end up in a coma if he keeps running around like he is. Chicago is where QB's go to stink themselves up so badly that no team in the league want's anything to do with them afterwards. Cleveland's got nothin on Chicago!
He had some solid games. A great backup that would give you a chance to win some games when the starter is out but not an actual starter.
Rex Forever
Fields is the worse one. Fans like burying Rex but his deep ball to Berrian was on point off the play action. @@UNUSUALUSERNAME220
Amen to that
“The Bears are who we thought they were” were the words of the late Dennis Green that always stays with me when I think of this game 😂
He’s just acting infantile.
Lovie Smith always wears his big boy pants. Dennis is probably wearing a diaper underneath his pants.
I don't know if you remember but during those years Coors was doing the commercials that featured edited footage of coaches giving press conferences and the coors guys asking them questions. Well when this game happened and Dennis had his meltdown I immediately thought "they're gonna make this into one of those coors commercials" lol, and they sure did 😄!!
@@richflores1558 😂 I remembered that one really well
No kidding..
@@richflores1558 They did one with The Big Tuna, also.
***bangs mic*** "If you wanna crown em, THEN CROWN THEIR ASS!"
Denny Green was me losing to my kid in checkers.
“But they are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!”
If the Bears could've finished off the SB that would've been on T-Shirts
R.I.P. Denny Green but damn that interview never gets old😂😂😂
Denny Green's press conference vs. Jim Mora's "PLAYOFFS!" press conference.. But then I do kind of like Belichick's "...onto Cincinnati" lol
As a Bears fan I gotta still say amazingly accurate interview. And classic Denny Green 😂
As crazy as this sounds...does this make the top 5 iconic games played in that stadium? There have been SO MANY ridiculous college and NFL games at that stadium in Glendale. Super Bowl 49, Super Bowl 42, A-Rod's Hail Mary/Fitz's catch and run in the 2015 NFC divisional, the 51-45 shootout in the 2009 Wild Card game, the Boise State/Oklahoma hook and lateral/Statue of Liberty Fiesta Bowl...it is AMAZING how many insane games have been fit in to this place in such a short amount of time.
Yeah you are right, a lot of crazy shit has happened in that Stadium. Someone should make a top 10 games played on that field
That’s an impressive history for a relatively new stadium.
You could say that about half the stadiums in the league
@@adamclark9004 Could you though? Give me a stadium built since even 2000 that's had THAT many historically iconic games.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 he’s not gonna answer you because he can’t think of any 😂
Lovie Smith is one of the most underrated head coaches in recent memory. He coached two Bears teams to NFC championship games, and the Bears haven't had a competent head coach(or a playoff win) since
Sinceeee bro wow that's actually crazy if you think about it tho the legit did nothing and how the hell rex Grossman was a NFL qb
And he was often blamed for the Bears’ failures. I bet Bears fans wish he was still around.
All facts
@@1who4me Nope. His offence was truly pathetic.
@@htownq3300 The same way Jay Cutler was one.
Rex Grossman threw 4 INT's and lost 2 fumbles and wins the game. 🤔
RIP Dennis Green and Cedric Benson
Turnoversaurus Rex
Did the offence score a point?
@@markjohnson-sl9qf no
Cedric Benson died ?? WTF
@@Iamkingzoe Yep unfortunately in 2019 in a motorcycle accident.
This may have been the only game in NFL history where the winning team mounted a comeback through defensive and special teams scores only!
One of The Craziest Ways To Win a NFL Game on Defense and Special Teams!
I know the Raiders beat the Broncos in Week 2 of the 1991 season 14-9 on two defensive touchdowns. Only time the Raiders have ever won to my knowledge without scoring an offensive point.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Wow I Didn't Know The Raiders Did The Same Thing Like The Chicago Bears Did Years Before!
@@vinceniederman It was actually 1990, but yeah, they scored on a pick six and a fumble scoop and score on defense. czcams.com/video/JsYnpvSd4Ak/video.html
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Nice!
charles barkley was a guest on this game and that was the least crazy part about this game
Was he eating donuts is the real question we have.
When you lose a game when the opponent doesn’t score an offensive TD, yeah that will send you into a rage. I hope we remember Dennis Green for more than this rant.
Agreed. He was a tremendous coach. Gary Anderson forever altered his legacy in 1998. I think the Vikings beat Denver in Super Bowl 33 if they just get there. Wouldve been an all time game IMHO.
I agree with the both of you. Resi in Peace, Coach Green. Never forgotten
Chrisy>n Boddie. I remember denny here in Chicago when he coached at NW(NORTHWESTERN). you wanna know how that went?!
17:52 the infamous postgame meltdown
The awkward silence and “Thanks Coach” at the end 😂😂😂. They wanted this sound byte but weren’t ready for it 😂😂😂
The very first season I watched the NFL and I’ve not seen a game like this since. Live in the UK and the great NFL analyst on Channel 5 over here Mike Carlson referred to Grossman as “Interceptaurus Rex” and I’ve never forgotten it!
That is hilarious!
Awesome!!😂😂😂
I’ve never heard that one before but that is Grossman to a (IN)T!!
@@droctorcee-7036LMAO
"They are what we thought they were, and we left them off the hook!"
DDK Penguin. like the BEARS did in '85 on MNF, 13TH GM: Let the FISH off the hook".
Went to bed with the Cardinals up 20-0. Woke up and found out the Bears came back and won. A incredible meltdown by the Arizona.
Same, as a bears fan i was so pissed. Finding out how they won the next morning was a treat
I remember my mom tell me to go to bed, but I insisted I wanted to stay up and she was shocked when we watched them mount this comeback
Same. I was 12 and had to be up for school the next day so figured fuck it I'll just knock out. Woke up the next morning and my mom told me they won. I thought she was lying lol.
Ha, I was the opposite. Playing a 1-4 Cardinals team, I dozed off before the game even started figuring it would be a Bears blowout. Then I woke up in the 3rd qtr like WTF???
Domino's + NFL Throwback = great Tuesday evening!
I love this channel. It keeps legends alive. Rest in peace Dennis Green.
You knew the season was going to be special when this happened. Still gives me chills
This had to be the greatest defensive game ever played
Not quite- they allowed 23 points
Maybe a shutout would be a better choice lol
@@LeonardStauffer Kinda hard to not give up any points when your QB throws 4 picks and fumbles twice.
Devin Hester was so much fun to watch. Even for this Vikings fan.
Brian Urlacher was something other worldly in the 2nd half of this game, particularly the 4th quarter. Amazing.
They could have played this game film at his HoF induction as the only evidence necessary to support his membership. I used to have this game TIVO'd (since lost it) & I remember counting more than 20 Urlacher tackles (solo & unassisted) in the second half, not to mention the forced fumbles and passes defended.
Yes thank you NFL for this game one of my favorites of all time
I remember this football game when dennis green was piss off after the bears win.
I enjoy watching classic NFL games instead of this modern NFL crap
....AND WE LET EM OFF THE HOOK! Lol I watched this entire game and postgame sc on tv as it happened and saw it all unfold in real time! One of the craziest nights of football I’ve ever experience
But in all seriousness, they really were who they thought they were. Arizona came out firing in this game and dominated early. They knew exactly what Chicago was going to try to do. Just fell apart late.
They didn't do much besides let Grossman be Grossman. Not exactly rocket science
@@Chris-ey8zf Rex was actually having a great year prior to this game
I was 11 during this game and i remember watching it live. It's probably my favorite Bears game ever. My main takeaway rewatching it several times later in life: I don't think Rex Grossman could start in arena football today.
My 2nd favorite post game conference is from this game after jim moras "playoffs?". Man urlacher was a force in this game especiallyin the 4th quarter. Too bad that was the same year he got juked by tom brady
Well a Hall of Famer got juked by another Hall of Famer.
They are who we THOUGHT they were, and we let'm off the hook!
thank you for including the dennis green press conference
Too good not to!
"And we let em off the hook" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss these old Bears. It was never the same after this season.
I remember this game Dennis Green with his famous iconic rant THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE AND WE LET EM OF THE HOOK...R.I.P COACH
Bonus props for including the rant! RIP Dennis Green.
One of the greatest Monday night games I've ever seen live...also if you don't think Devin Hester is a first ballot HOFer, something's wrong with you.
Hester and Steve Tasker embody what special teams means and why they matter as the third unit on any football team. Both deserve to be in Canton.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Matthew Slater as well
Isn’t there like 15 other returners who have more yards than Hester all time??
@TheKilliluminati Yards maybe, not TDs, took it to the house more than anyone.
@@TheKilliluminatiwho cares about yards when you have all the tds?
I still remember watching this game on a Tuesday morning all the way down in Australia. The capitulation of the Cardinals in this game in real time was incredible. But of course most of all was seeing the Dennis Green meltdown to end all meltdowns Live as it happened and the shock and fallout straight after will never be topped.
Lol Dennis Green was a character 😂😂
I watched this live on TV, and almost, ALMOST turned it off just before the 4Q Cards fumbled and Bear TD. I watched it through the end. As a Bear fan I'm so grateful I got to see one of the best all time comebacks live, and it was very exciting.
I remember watching this game my freshman year at University of Iowa in Hillcrest dorm. The entire dorm erupted when Hester returned the punt and everyone ran out into the hallway high fiving each other. I'll never forget it.
I was in the depaul dorms similar vibes.
im a bears fan and was 8 years old at the time. went to bed at halftime cause they pissed me off and when i woke up the next morning to my mom telling me the bears won, i will never have that feeling again in my life. will never forget it.
3:10 That man was wearing a Chicago Bears jersey with an Arizona Cardinals jersey underneath
On the full game version on the NFL YT channel someone called him a clown because he switched jerseys apparently based on which team was performing better, but maybe it was some sort of tribute to the city of Chicago, which of course at one point was home for both of these franchises before the Cards split for St. Louis.
I was in 3rd grade then and the 2006 season was my favorite season by far! I remember watching this game and the press conference afterwards, “they are who we thought they were”! Rest In Peace Coach Danny Green….
Been watching Football 35 years and this one game encapsulates the futility of both these franchises lmao
Chicago Cardinals
I’m a bears fan and that’s funny cuz it’s true 😂
I was at this game with my dad.
You could slowly watch it all fall apart play by play. Just what it is like to be a cardinals fan.
I watched these guys when they were in college. Brady Quinn was a great college QB. I saw more of his games than I did Matt Leinart
@ NFL Throwback
Thank you for making this video 😃
I suggested this in a comment on one of your previous CZcams videos. I really appreciate it. Thank you again 🙏🏽
The most “bears style” win of all time. Not a point on offense but they still won. Best defensive/special teams game I’ve ever seen
Its 2023 and i remember this game like yesterday!
Saw all of this especially post game live , awesome moment in my life
I still can’t comprehend this game. Unreal. Literally impossible!
I'll never forget watching this game with my dad late on a school night. We were cheering so hard when Hester got that return punt
You're So Cool NFL Throwback, I Love My Chicago Bears!
Bears fan from birth (literally…my grandpa was best friends with Sid Luckman so my siblings and I are fortunate enough to have a ball signed by the entire team from the year of our respective births), here with an anecdote about that game.
My grandfather had passed away the previous week and our family was in Illinois for the funeral that day. The entire group ended up in one of our hotel rooms eating deep dish while watching the game.
The Bears were 5-0 at that point so the first 2/3 of the game was shocking but, with the defence (including my fave, Brian Urlacher) and Devin Hester, we didn’t feel like the game was over quite yet.
As the comeback started and continued to be fueled by the defence and special teams, it really started to feel like something special was happening.
When Arizona missed the FG attempt at the end, there were two thoughts in our hotel room:
1) that was the type of win that happens to a team that will go far (I actually called it that night that they were going to the Super Bowl, but I wasn’t sure how they would actually win it with Grossman at QB) and, more importantly;
2) Grandpa and “Uncle Sid” had SOMETHING to do with how the game turned around in the last 20 minutes (similar to how Walter Payton MUST have helped deflect the FG kick by the Packers, for the Bears to win the first game after his passing).
Devin Hester....... you are ridiculous
I miss that man so much, bear down.
As a Bears fan, this may be my single favorite game of all time (too young for the 85 bears). The post game just was the cherry on top.
The speech after this game from the late great Dennis Greene is on the same level as Jim Mora senior "Playoff Rant".
That’s amazing, even in hindsight, that the Bears won this when Rex Grossman had 6 turnovers
Rex Grossman was the Bears' version of Tim Tebow. A real stinker, but somehow kept winning.
“Hasn’t missed from inside the 50 this year.”
MISSES THE KICK!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!!
“Just the punter to beat! HE BEAT HIM!!!” Classic
Watching this live as it happened was awesome!
Bears went on to the Super Bowl IN SPITE of horrific QB Rex 🤢, Man
Ironically, he played great vs New Orleans in the NFC championship game.
@@aaronjackson9385 Right, but he only played well every other game, so he should have been benched for the Super Bowl.
@@ItsAllAboutGuitar oh yeah, he was definitely erratic the entire season and his career, but no team is benching their season long starter right before the SB. Especially after one of his best performances of the season.
Good Job on added the post game interview from Coach Green at the end of the video.
Little known fact: they let them of the hook.
I love this game but for me, Mike Brown B2B game winning pick sixes in 2001 was the best.
I have the most confidence picking that occasion as the most likely NFL event to not be replicated. Totally amazing.
Yessir, we got da throwback!
One of the best rants after a game. RIP. Denny
The fact that the Bears made a Super Bowl with Grossman is truly incredible lmao. I’m a Vikings fan and I still think they win that shit with Cutler
I remember watching this live. When Rackers missed that field goal, we all just gasped out loud. Couldn't believe it.
I'll forever remember this game as the game my pops explained to me after sending to bed after the 3rd quarter. I had to go to bed at the 3rd quarter of The Malice in the Palace too lol.
"And we let 'em off the hook!" Classic. RIP Dennis Green.
Who else is commentating with Mike Tirico? Sounds like Theismann but who is the other guy?
Update: Realized that it is Charles Barkley but there's still one more mystery guy commentating. Anyone know who it is?
Also, Adrian Wilson was a beast.
It's Tony Kornheiser. He was the third MNF guy this year I believe.
THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE, AND WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK!!!
Is every internet dork going to write that in the comments section?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thanks coach Matt lienherit is next to the podium. Me every time one of my kids uses something inappropriate
*laughing at the beginning few minutes of the game*
*camera pans to Denny Green*
"WAIT THIS IS THE GAME, IS IT...!?"
It sure was... I still cannot believe they punted directly to Hester with the Bears down one score...
Hester wasn't 'Hester; by this point, meaning he was not recognized as a superstar yet. He did return a punt for a TD in week 1 against the Packers, but no one knew at this point he would turn the NFL upside down for a bit.
Rex had that quick compact release, had such a great arm but just couldn't throw with any accuracy to save his life! haha
Rex Grossman had the arm of an M1A1 Abrams, but the accuracy of a revolutionary war musket.
Neil Rackers Was Ray Finkle On That Monday Night Game In 2006.
I remember watching this game in my room going crazy and amazed at this crazy ass game!! I love the 06 bears! One of my fav teams and still root for them!!
I couldn't believe how bad Grossman was and I remember thinking my bears are going to lose to the cardinals of all teams with the rose bowls losing QB( Matt leinhert) that I laughed at when they lost to Texas! My fav player of all time Urlacher was huge in this game..
Devin Hester... What a game changer that man was at returner!! Greatest PR/ KR ever!! Made it where you could not go to the kitchen for snacks or a bathroom break when he was back fielding kicks cause he was that much of a must watch
The casual “Thanks coach” at the end lol
I remember Coors Lite (I think it was them- it was some beer company) had a commercial campaign where they inserted their own questions in coach press conferences and used the coaches' answers to answer the commercial questions. They used this conference and made it pretty comedic.
I don’t watch football anymore. This postgame interview from D Green came to mind and I come on here to check it out. Found this video. I remember why i used to love Bears football. Fuck em now but boy oh boy these were some good times!
17:52 You're Welcome.
0:28 yo! One bears fan just gave everyone the finger 😂
Good ole #8. The SOLE reason the Bears don't have 2 Super Bowl wins.
Yea, the Bears giving up nearly 200 yards rushing to a pair of backup running backs while doing nothing on the ground themselves had nothing to do with it I'm sure.
Bears: Southampton!
Cardinals: AS Roma!
ive seen the clip but have never seen this game, it all makes sense now🤣
I still don't understand his rant, but it's still hilarious.
What’s crazy is that the Chicago offense only got 3 points. The comeback was all on the CHI defense and special teams. It makes this comeback even more painful for the Cards.
One of the greatest post game press conferences ever
Ooooo that tackle dodge @ 7:19 was clean asf
This game was the Rex Grossman in a nutshell. 10-cent brain, $10 arm, 0-work ethic. The Bears were resilient, tenacious & determined. Rex, *Not so Much.* He would go to be 1-of the main reasons they'd lose the Superbowl. *Rex was a turnover machine.*
What a crazy game!
I remember this game like it was yesterday. And while I hate how it turned out, I do miss Denny. Pretty sure all the NFL does.
As a Bears fan, this never gets old :)
Another fun bears game on CZcams is the CHI/MINN game where the bears sacked Archie Manning about 18 times (that's actually not much of an exaggeration...seriously).
Damn I remember having alltel cell phone service 😂😂 in highschool
The announcers praising Leinert, probably the beginning and end of his career
I love coach meltdowns and this was one of my favorites.
I'm a man I'm 40
I remember this night so well 🤣 he went off
I was in the 7th grade when this game happened. Good times.
The infamous rant and game from 2006 that was overshadowed by the return of t.o.
What do you mean? Those events happened in different weeks. I think every year we fans can expect numerous stories and headlines to break out.
@@robsmith961 was this not week 6?
@@mariosnum1fan I didn't realize I was corresponding with you again. The T.O. game was in week 5.
Best ever!!!!
15 years later my cardinals getting their revenge we boutta be MERCILESS
I wonder if the Bears will even show up Sunday.
Bro chill. We don’t know how Kyler is gonna react after coming back from injury.
