On Dec. 30, 2000, the defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams staged a remarkable playoff comeback in New Orleans, only to see the game slip through their hands. Here is how we covered the game.
The Rams' offense was about to take the field to perform a miracle, pulling off a final touchdown drive to put the finish on a heart-thumping comeback.
Coach Mike Martz already had the play called. It would be a "Rocket Sail" corner pattern to Ricky Proehl. The Rams wide receiver would run about 25 yards. Quarterback Kurt Warner would get him the ball.
