Eddie George meets Ray Lewis again, and NFL Throwback's comments relive the AFC Central
The Titans back and the Ravens linebacker headline nine uploads that also revisit a strange 1986 Eagles-Bears game and Marino against Moon.
NFL ThrowbackStory of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Eddie George and Ray Lewis defined the early 2000's NFL!
NFL Throwback, the clips channel that bills itself as a home for football's greatest games and most ridiculous moments, put up nine videos in seven days, and one of them pulled clear of the rest. "Eddie George and Ray Lewis defined the early 2000's NFL!" passed 200,000 views in five days, several times what any other new upload managed.
The pairing explains it. George was the Titans' bruising workhorse, Lewis the Ravens' middle linebacker and a Super Bowl MVP, and in the old AFC Central the two teams met twice a year. The comments read like a reunion: viewers recall how rarely anyone ran Lewis over, joke that you needed two chinstraps in that division, and argue that Ravens-Titans was the grudge match long before Ravens-Steelers took the title. A few keep returning to a Lewis interception return as the play that tipped it.
The rest of the week leaned on full-game edits. A 1986 Eagles-Bears game is billed as maybe the weirdest the channel has ever cut, a 2011 Panthers-Lions shootout puts Cam Newton beside Matthew Stafford, and a 1989 Browns-Steelers opener arrives under the title "Absolute Annihilation!" The newest, Dan Marino against Warren Moon in 1994, is a day old and already moving quickly, while a ten-day-old look at Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott's rookie takeover is still drawing a steady crowd.
The whole channel ran a little above its usual daily pace, with subscribers holding steady. Among the sports channels nearby, First Things First, The Rich Eisen Show and Sportsnet are having especially big weeks, and NFL Films, the throwback channel's natural neighbor, is running well above its own usual level too.
