Still, it was an unneeded irritant that also affected Montana, who had been forced to call a press conference four years before to deny rumors that he used drugs.
The Rams' offensive line was led by Pro Bowlers Orlando Pace and Adam Timmerman. "In the first two, the offense had to outscore our opponent for us to have a chance to win. ", Phillips should have heard 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Holmgren talking about his players.
Why? Bingo. As an example, the station claimed that three white quarterbacks had tested positive for high levels of cocaine use in the previous 10 years, but their names had not been revealed and they had not been placed in a rehabilitation program. As long as Walsh was around, the 49ers were always considered his creation, a group that was raised to another level by his genius. And those players had barely left the Louisiana Superdome field in New Orleans before they began chanting, "Three-peat, three-peat." Since this new stadium was not ready until the 1999 season, Adams decided to move his team to Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee in 1997 after playing before small Houston crowds in 1996.
Wycheck would run straight up the field on the right side, to lure linebacker Mike Jones away from receiver Kevin Dyson. The 49ers won those contests by a total of 100 points (126-26), something no other club had ever done. Taylor ran a slant on one side and Atwater moved to help out. Denver discovered the futility of trying to stop this offensive juggernaut. What Montana saw in films he saw on the field: an aggressive front line but a soft secondary that relied on zones and the two talented safeties.
Montana and his 49ers were enjoying one of those games that teams and players dream about, but never really expect to play. But this was one time Montana couldn't hog the whole spotlight. "He is the George Bush of coaches," linebacker Michael Walter said. Even then, Montana was tackled at the line of scrimmage. On the next play, Tennessee nearly lost the ball when Bly stepped in front of a pass intended for Mason, only to have it go right through his arms. "I expect a lot from myself," he said. [51] NFL.com ranked Jones's tackle of Dyson as the fourth greatest clutch moment in Super Bowl history.
The renamed Tennessee Oilers also played before sparse Memphis crowds, and thus spent the 1998 season playing at Nashville's Vanderbilt Stadium. [citation needed] Like Dallas Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown, Jones was included on the NFL Network's "Top 10 One-Hit Wonders" list (Jones was #10, Brown was #3), although Jones also mirrored Brown in having a solid if unspectacular career outside of his Super Bowl heroics. The 16-point deficit was the largest deficit to be erased in a Super Bowl and the first greater than 10 points. On the next series, Elway tossed a lame duck that was picked off by Brooks. This time, Atwater had moved to help out on Taylor over the middle, leaving Rice one-on-one with cornerback Tyrone Braxton. The game's final play from the Rams' 10-yard line has gone down in NFL history as simply "The Tackle". As of 2019, this was the most recent Super Bowl that featured two teams that had never won the title before.
He rarely had to hurry a pass and was sacked only once. Warner pointed out. He enjoyed the 49ers' eighth touchdown just as much as their first, and he reacted to each one the same way. Watch highlights from the 49ers fourth Super Bowl victory in franchise history. [7], The first two quarters of Super Bowl XXXIV were largely a defensive battle. We could be back.".
But on the first play from scrimmage, Humphrey, who was playing despite cracked ribs, was stripped of the ball and 49ers safety Chet Brooks recovered.
George also had an outstanding season, rushing for 1,304 yards, and catching 47 passes for 458 yards (his receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns were all career highs). McNair had missed five games due to injuries during the season, but he was still able to put up solid numbers, throwing for 2,179 yards and 12 touchdowns with only 8 interceptions. The previous ABC affiliate, KTVI, in contrast, was one of the strongest affiliates[citation needed] – it had become a Fox NFL station in 1995, and thus, has televised the majority of the Rams' games in this period.
Forget schemes and tactics and all the intricate stuff. [55], Rams starting running back Marshall Faulk was held to just 17 rushing yards, but gained 90 receiving yards on 5 receptions. But winning was wonderful for the 49ers -- even if it was becoming old hat. He pumped his fist wildly in the air, signaled "touchdown" with his arms, then danced a little jig of joy. But Tennessee remained scoreless after defensive back Todd Lyght blocked Del Greco's 47-yard field goal attempt. [6], The Rams entered their second Super Bowl in team history with an NFC-best 13–3 regular season record. The team did not have any outstanding deep threats, but wide receiver Yancey Thigpen recorded 38 receptions for 648 yards, wide receiver Kevin Dyson had 54 receptions for 658 yards, and tight end Frank Wycheck caught 69 passes for 641 yards. "The more, the merrier. Considering the magnitude of the Super Bowl, and the wild game that preceded it, "The Tackle" is considered one of the greatest and most exciting game-ending plays in modern NFL history. The Broncos answered with a 42-yard field goal by David Treadwell after stalling at the San Francisco 25. I didn't want it to bother me.".
On the completion to Conwell, Bishop combined to make the tackle, but suffered a spinal injury and had to leave the game. The franchise moved to a taxpayer-funded stadium in St. Louis, Missouri for the 1995 season, but continued to struggle. Montana rightfully was named the game's Most Valuable Player -- his third such honor in four Super Bowl appearances -- after demonstrating his magnificence under pressure once again.
