This is rediculous. Atwater in his quest to punish the Green Bay receiver not only injured his teammate, but also HIMSELF. Take a look at the video. As Atwater was falling he loss consciousness for about a few second. He was out for the count, but regained consciousness.
@VIKINGSGUY33 steve couldn't play in todays game.they changed the rule book because of the bernard pollard hit that put out brady.they changed the rules again because of a hit by ryan clark's hits. they throw a flag if the db even touches a receiver. now there's a strike zone for where you can hit a ball carrier. ridiculous.gimme the nfl pre 2005
God that's one of the most brutal hits I've ever seen. I mean, Atwater went down and he was out for a few seconds, he didn't even try to stop himself from falling, he was OUT.
@jayhawk4life785 Right? Braxton literally stands there for 3 seconds looking around at the carnage with his hands just kinda floating there. I remember watching this and thinking, "Oh my gosh. I think Atwater's dead." because of the way he just flopped to the ground. What a great player though...
I first saw this hit whilst watching America's Game 1997 Denver Bronco's and couldn't believe my eyes. I can just remember the announcer saying, hilliard is down, atwater is down and brooks is down. I were like, all those people injured from one hit! Truly a fearless safety, what a great hit!
love the long line of denver hitters, karl meck used to b my fave as a kid until stevie emerged, i hope dj williams can keep the tradition going, by the way broncosguy24, would u happen to have the clip of atwater owning bo jackson!
Atwater in this game and Reggie White against the patriots the year before are the 2 best defensive performances I have ever seen in a super bowl. Atwater put his body through hell that day.
dude that happens wen u g0 helmet 2helmet atwater's back 0f his helmet hit number br0ncos num. 21 face mask nd helmet..my niga atwater is a real niga t0 even try and get up immediatly after that hit..my guy g0t dumbass heart
Based on all the big hits he's made in his career, Steve Atwater will probably have Alzheimer's, crippling depression, or some sort of mental disorder later in life (due to repeated head trauma).
i love this shit. at the true expense of every human body in the way, no matter what, you make your presence known. sacrifice your body, destruction is a must.
God when I saw this happen my heart stopped. There was like 30 seconds left in the game, 4th down, and two talented DB's were on the ground. I was worried cause I knew Favre had it in him to throw the long ball setting up the extra point that would tie the game.
how come on every highlight som1 has to put sean taylor's name on here, fuck he was great but this aint sean fuckin taylor this is ATWATER who was wayyyy more ferocious fuck taylor his biggest hit came on a kicker
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Respect him dont say "fuck taylor" i know people need to let it go but he was a great player who loved football n hittin people. So i say fuck you and atwater.
Why u throwin in ur 2 cents? I wasnt replying to u I was replying to the guy above me who is disrespecting the dead u dont just say "fuck someone" just cus people still talk about him u can just say forget the past or something like that I can care less if u dont respect him just dont disrespect him (R.I.P. Sean Taylor)
Atwater was a beast, but this was one of the scariest moments of that superbowl.
It's too bad so many Broncos greats won't make the HOF just because we're not in the east and not on the west coast so we dont get that much exposure so people don't know how great our greats were
I remember watching this Super Bowl live with my dad. My heart was pounding every second of the game from beginning to end. I don't think I've ever been so nervous in all my life when Atwater crushed Brooks and Hilliard in one hit with a 4th down coming up. Best football moment ever on that next play. John Mobley was my hero for a bit
@TheFirstWhiteboy My point was that in a position that laymen consider skinny and fast the player is actually quite strong...and you respond by saying basically the exact same thing.
Regardless, would you consider Atwater to be of the larger size of defensive players? Or would you say defensive lineman and all but the smallest linebackers are larger than him? When I have to explain my comment to this nuance it makes it seem pointless to say it anyways.
