ATLANTA -- The St. Louis Rams outlasted the Tennessee Titans in the greatest finish in Super Bowl history Sunday, hanging on, literally, for a 23-16 victory before a crowd of 72,625 at the Georgia Dome.
The Rams dominated the first three quarters of the contest, moving the ball up and down the field nearly at will before Tennessee sprung to life like Rip van Winkle and nearly walked off with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Trailing 16-0, Tennessee rallied to tie the score on a pair of short touchdown runs by Eddie George and a 43-yard field goal by Al Del Greco before Rams quarterback Kurt Warner hit wideout Isaac Bruce on a 73-yard bomb with 1 minute, 54 seconds left that proved to be the game-winner for St. Louis.
