Greatest play in SB history? That's just a ridiculous statement. These plays aren't better?

1) Tyree's catch.
2) Joe Montana to John Taylor
3) Dyson stopped at the 1-yard line
4) Marcus Allen's run

These were all more important and better at the stage of the game in which they happened.

In this famous image, Kevin Dyson tries to extend the ball into the end zone as Mike Jones brings him down.


The final play of Super Bowl XXXIV (also known as The Tackle<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> and One Yard Short<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_2-0" class="reference">[3]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference">[4]</sup>) happened in a game played between the St. Louis Rams and the Tennessee Titans on January 30, 2000.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[5]</sup> It resulted in Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson being tackled by Rams




Legacy

Given the pressure of the Super Bowl and the wild game that preceded it, "The Tackle" and/or "One Yard Short" is considered one of the more exciting game-ending plays in recent National Football League history. The image of Dyson stretching the ball towards the goal line with Jones wrapped around him has become a staple of NFL highlights, especially in the participating teams' markets. ESPN.com ranked The Tackle as the 35th greatest moment of the past 25 years in sports (as of 2007)<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference">[8]</sup> and the second-greatest moment in Super Bowl history.<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_2-1" class="reference">[3]</sup> Fox Sports ranked The Tackle as the Greatest Clutch Play in Super Bowl History (as of 2007). Many consider Super Bowl XXXIV to be the greatest Super Bowl ever, and the tackle as the greatest Super Bowl ending ever.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference">[9]</sup>
Going into the Super Bowl, the Rams' defense, including Jones, was a powerful and stout unit, overshadowed by the team's high-powered offense, known as The Greatest Show on Turf.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference">[10]</sup>

[edit] Play

The Titans had just used their final timeout with six seconds remaining. The Titans had driven to the Rams' 10 yard line and, trailing by a touchdown, had one last chance to tie the game. The Titans executed a plan wherein tight end Frank Wycheck would run straight up the field on the right side in order to lure Jones away from Dyson, who would slant left over the middle. With Jones focused on Wycheck, quarterback Steve McNair would pass the ball to Dyson, who would be open from about five yards out for the score.
At the outset, the play was proceeding as the Titans envisioned. Jones stayed with Wycheck on the streak route from the beginning of the play. After McNair fired to an open Dyson, Jones, now at the goal line, glanced over his left shoulder and noticed Dyson catching the ball. Jones then switched directions and managed to wrap up Dyson's legs approximately two and a half yards from the goal line.
With his legs immobilized, Dyson then attempted to reach towards the end zone and breach the plane with the ball. Both players then went into a rolling motion of sorts as Dyson?his back in the air but nearly touching the ground, as his legs were on top of Jones?outstretched his hand with the football towards the goal line in the hopes of scoring the touchdown. Though his reach was close, and the ball mere inches away from the end zone, it was still not enough to score. As the rolling motion came to an end, with Jones now on top of Dyson's legs, his shoulder touched the ground, never having broken the plane with the ball. Time expired three seconds later, and the game was over.

[edit] The call

ABC Sports broadcaster Al Michaels made the following call as the play happened:

  • "It is caught by Dyson. Can he get in? No, he cannot! Mike Jones made the tackle... and the Rams have won the Super Bowl!"
The St. Louis Rams radio announcer, Mike Bush, after seconds of St. Louis celebrating, said this:

  • "St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, is now the gateway to the BEST... football team in the world!"
Westwood One/CBS Radio Sports broadcaster Howard David, during the national radio broadcast of the game:

  • "Shotgun for McNair...takes the snap, looks to the right, throws...and it's complete the Titan at the one yard line and he's stopped short! The clock strikes triple zero. Kevin Dyson caught the ball and Mike Jones made the tackle at the one yard line to preserve a win for the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV."

You sir, can't be serious. Two of them to essentially decide the SB and one to keep a drive going after a crazy scramble by Manning.

Re: that was the greatest play in super bowl history.,

lets take #2...maybe a 33% chance they would get a TD on that play..nice throw and catch..open guy perfect throw. seen that dozens of times in the course of watching football...

this play...good lord do you even want to say a 0.1% chance of that happen before the play started? guy scoring with that effort.. and toss in at a very critical junciton as well? that was an amzing effort for him to INT and score on that play.

Max McGee so hung over he doesn't even bring his helmet onto the field
because he doesn't think he is playing

Dowler gets hurt and Maxie boy blowing probably a .18 from the nite before
staggers onto the field and Starr hits him with like a 37 yr td pass for the 1st
td scored in the History of the Super Bowl
