Last night I watched a replay of Super Bowl 35 on NFL Network as told by the great Kevin Harlan and analyst, Daryl “Moose” Johnston. It’s interesting how time can erase some of the nuances of a game that for all intents and purposes put the Baltimore Ravens on the NFL map.
Perhaps the game’s final score, 34-7, indelibly etched upon my brain, conveniently lured me into a slightly altered memory of that contest. I know that Trent Dilfer didn’t exactly set the world on fire in Tampa on that unforgettable January 28, 2001 eve, but I must admit that his level of ineptitude escaped my recollection of that game.
