St. Louis Rams at Tennessee Titans- It’s
come down to the final two on my list of the best Super Bowl’s I’ve seen. Super
Bowl XXXIV comes in today at number 2. The Rams were a great team throughout the season. After losing their starting QB Trent Green in the preseason, they turn to a guy named Kurt Warner who would go on to win the MVP of the league. Both teams entered with 13-3 records. The first half of this game was dominated by defense. No touchdowns, all field goals. Neither offense could get into a rhythm. The Rams didn’t reach the end zone until midway through the third quarter which put them up 16-0. Once the Titans got the ball back, they would put a drive together of their own scoring 16 unanswered points. It was the largest defecit to be erased in a Super Bowl and it was the first defecit
greater than 10 points. On the next drive, Kurt Warner would complete a 73 yard
touchdown pass to Issac Bruce to regain the lead 23-16. How would Steve McNair
and the Titans bounce back? They drove the ball down field well and into Rams
territory. They would end up driving down to the Rams 10 yard line with 6
seconds left. McNair dropped back and found Kevin Dyson for the completion now
all he had to do was take it to the endzone and it’d be a tied game but Rams
linebacker Mike Jones tackled Dyson a yard short of the endzone and that was the
game. The Rams were Super Bowl champs and Kurt Warner was named Super Bowl MVP completing 24 of 45 passes for 414 yards passing and 2 touchdown passes. He became the sixth player in NFL history to win the league MVP and Super Bowl MVP in the same season. Steve Young, Terry Bradshaw, Emmitt Smith, Bart Starr and Joe Montana were the others.
