Top 12 most shocking Super Bowl moments

The Patriots Shut Down The Greatest Show On Turf

The St. Louis Rams came into the 2001 season as a more dominant team than the one that authored the win in Super Bowl XXXIV. They sported the league MVP, quarterback Kurt Warner, and the Offensive Player of the Year, running back Marshall Faulk.

The Rams finished the regular season 14-2, with the number one offense and the number seven defense in the league.

The Patriots started the season with veteran Drew Bledsoe under center, but he was knocked out in Week 2 after a rough tackle caused a severed artery. The backup on the team was a former sixth round pick in his second year, Tom Brady. The head coach, the embattled Bill Belichick, made the controversial decision to hand the reins over to Brady even after Bledsoe returned from his injury. They finished 11-5 and made an improbable run through the playoffs to make it to their third Super Bowl.

It appeared that this would be a walkover for the Rams. They were favored by 14 in the game.

Instead, the Rams found themselves down 17-10 before a game tying touchdown drive engineered by Warner.

It seemed the Patriots, out of time outs, would play for overtime. But Belichick and Brady had other plans. The Patriots marched down the field, setting up Adam Vinatieri’s game winning field goal as time expired.
