Daniel Leu you are the man for posting these videos. I'm from St. Louis and while i wasn't a Rams fan due to my allegiance to the Dallas Cowboys, but it was the greatest feeling to hear from family and friends about the pride of the city because of these dudes. It was the best of times for my city and i wish they would've been able to get at least two titles while they were in the Lou. Thank you for giving my city something to remember. Should've made them leave everything related to the title years, just like they did for the Browns when they left Cleveland and when they were awarded the expansion version.

[@ericunderwood6728]

Bryant Anderson I'm from LA in 95 I was traveling cross country to work in DC I had planned to go see Marshall Faulk beat my Rams in St. Louis but I overslept at the state line and missed the game so I called the local sport radio station from a phone booth in Downtown St.Louis and told them that St.Louis had just inherited a great football team along with a great history of Hall of Famers Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen, Jack Youngblood .... The list goes on and that they were my team and always will be because of the aforementioned players that I seen play ball and for St.Louis to please welcome them with open arms, thanks for doing that, now I have my RAMS back, something to be Happy about.... took my Son to Canton Ohio in 01 he got his RAM helmet signed by Jack Youngblood on the left horn and by Fred Dryer on the right, that was a good day.... blessings from California.

[@jrfallon]

This Rams team was something else, Faulk was sooo great, whenever he got the ball man he took off, same with Isaac and Torry. Faulk is definitely the best receiving back of all time and one of the most complete hb’s of all time. Bruce and Holt r undeniably the best receiver duo of all time, so explosive and both had great hands, can’t believe neither of them have been inducted. Warner was so great with leading his receivers to the ball and throwing complete dimes even with good coverage. To think that before this impeccable season he had, he was working at a grocery store blows my mind. Don’t let the score fool you we dominated this great Vikings team with ease! Such a completed team and I wish I was alive to witness it first hand. I feel my Rams today r drawing closer and closer to a team similar to this amazing unstoppable force. A chip is coming soon!

[@TheLAGopher]

What is so funny is that the 99 Rams were pretty much that years version of the 98 Vikings. An unstoppable scoring machine. Just like the Vikings, they blew through the regular season, ran a divisional opponent out of their building, and went somewhat flat against a physical rival in the NFCCG. Unlike the 98 Vikings, the 99 Rams were able to pull off a narrow win after getting punched in the mouth, and cashed in their ticket to the Super Bowl with a win.

The Seahawks had nearly beat the Pats at Gillette earlier that year, and if we got to the SB I wanted Philly over Seattle. Not that I wanted to see the Rams with Martz looming for revenge either, but I feared Seattle more than any other NFC team at the time

jeff george's arm was a 270 rifle. that guy was such a savior to that 99 vikings team that was dead in the water early in the year. too bad they couldn't have had 3 or 4 years with him.

[@juice4080]

my oh my Jeff George had the greatest arm talent i've ever seen in a QB

[@Tom-wp7gg]

George had a million dollar arm and a 10 cent brain. Probably the best arm of any QB in NFL history, too bad he was a complete headcase.

[@ericunderwood6728]

juice4080 He was also a great target for one of the best blitzing D - Fences I've ever seen in a half Century of watching NFL, and I grew up in LA watching and going to see the Fearsome foursome play and team Youngbloods too, quarter backs make great lunches for hungry D- fences.

[@eduardohuerta5460]

I never understood why Minnesota didn't resigned him for a long term deal. He was perfect for that system and had a great relationship with Moss and Carter. All I know is Dennis Green told him to "shop around" after the season. He went to Washington and that was a bad system for him.

[@ckobo84]

"10 cent brain". I think that is purely due to his complete lack of mobility. When you can't move and they're baring down on you there's a tendency to panic and throw it up for grabs. I think most the criticisms of him are simply side effects of his mobility issues. Rich Gannon had a complete rag arm but was super moble took over for him with the Raiders and had way more success. You have to have some degree of mobility, hard to get it done as a STATUE. You can't move and you get scared and panic.

[@d2axe7]

Eduardo Huerta I think that’s due to them not seeing George as their ‘guy’ because hadn’t they just drafted Culpepper? George was already in his 30s by this point and they wanted the QB of the future.

When the going got tough, those Minnesota teams tended to fold the tent. Got blown out in the playoffs in '92, '94, '96, '97 and here, and capped it off the next season with the almighty 41-donut game.

[@TheLAGopher]

To be fair, those Denny era Vikings got beat by superior teams. Only the 94 team that lost at home to the same Bears team the Vikings swept that season, the 98 NFCCG loss to the Falcons, and the aforementioned 41-donut loss, to the Giants could be called upsets. Every other loss of that era was to a clearly better team.

[@deanladue3151]

Rams 'D' backs were holding Moss a lot at the line of scrimmage and wasn't getting called. Moss got frustrated, but this was only his 2nd year and Moss hasn't mastered the art of fighting off those holds and handchecks the way Cris Carter had.

[@tsouth5510]

Still the deadliest offensive beatdown to date, this beating was worse than last years Vikings game.

[@KingJaymo2k11]

18 years ago today

[@bifftannen1598]

Talk about a major turn. Rams run 2nd half kickoff back & then the Vikes get jobbed by the refs when Carter made his patented sideline catch & they say it was a bobble. That would've been a 1st down at about the 40 trailing by 4. Who knows? If they go down & even get 3 & make it 21-20, it could be a totally different game from that point on. But they had to punt & Warner & the boys blew them away. If the Vikes did win, they would've played at Bucs & probably somehow would've got shutout, but maybe not 41-0 like the next year at Giants.

[@jayNicks10]

I've seen a lot of classic highlights videos, and this one is about twice as long as the average one. which is kind of funny cause that just goes to show you how thi game went.

[@DanielLeu_Rams]

Yeah that was my intention when making these videos. Usually the NFL will block full games almost immediately after they're uploaded. Plus, nobody really has the time to sit down and watch a 3-hour game. I thought if I could keep as many plays as I could while keeping these videos under 20 minutes than people will have the time to watch them and still get a feel for how each team played.
