1999 Week 1 Ravens vs Rams Highlights

Sorry about the audio; it only plays through the right side of the speaker. This is the best quality I have. The video will look better if it's played on a smaller device.
It's week one in the National Football League and the St. Louis Rams face the Baltimore Ravens in their 1999 season opener. After finishing 4-12 a year ago, the Rams are hoping to turn things around in year three under head coach Dick Vermeil. The strong St. Louis defense has returned looking to cap off another good season. Meanwhile, the offense has greatly improved with the additions of running back Marshall Faulk and rookie wide receiver Torry Holt. Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz joined the Rams in the off-season from Washington. Veteran receiver Isaac Bruce returns to St. Louis after a hamstring injury limited him for most of the '98 season. The only question mark the Rams have on offense is the quarterback. Who is Kurt Warner?

[@moparman2938]

Beginning of the 1999 season everyone with the RAMS on their schedule was thinking "automatic win"! Then Trent Green went down and some grocery store shelf stocker got the chance of a lifetime and ended up the greatest "Cinderella story" in NFL history! Even as a lifetime RAMS fan (since 1969) after Green went down I thought their chances for a winning season was over, but it ended up being the greatest season of all time for a RAMS fan with a win in SB XXXIV, one of the best Superbowl games of all time! Great times, hopefully I'll get to see another dominant RAMS team like this in my lifetime!

Kinda cool to see these two teams playing on opening day. They would go on to win the next 2 Super Bowls: Rams in 1999 and Ravens in 2000.

[@BTLAGS]

The best offense of all time vs the best defense of all time.

[@jsbogen]

If only the Rams could have completed their comeback against Saints in the first round in 2000. They would likely have rolled trough the rest of the playoffs and we could have had that Super Bowl. Would have been one of the best matchups ever.

[@dp233332]

Martz should have demoted himself to OC...he squandered a potential dynasty.

[@dp233332]

Im aware that they set the record but that Ravens defense was not as talented/good/battle tested as the mid80s Bears...Def Front 7 was truly stocked/stacked but their 2ndary wasnt as good as many others ive seen...Ravens played against some very unimpressive offensive teams during that regular season(the afc centrals qbs in 00 if memory serves were kordell steward, tim couch, akili smith, steve mcnair, mark brunell, and ravens included, tony banks/dilfer) and postseason-the best offense they faced was the same raider offense which was held to 13pts by NE in the 01 postseason-without having to take Gannon out with a dirty/late hit the way Balt did...If they had faced the Rams in SB XXXV and shut them down for 4qtrs, that would have proven a lot more to me about how great their defense actually was. Mid80s Bears front 7 was just as stacked as the 2000ravens def front, but their 2ndary featured more good players at or approaching the peak of their careers-half of the ravens starting 2ndary-Starks and Herring-were avg players, and Rod Woodson altho still an effective playmaker and leader at the time, was past his prime...Id also add that the Ravens offense was a little underrated-Dilfer was productive and relatively efficient that season in that scheme with those players around him, and that offense featured a lot of very good players-Priest Holmes was Jamaal Lewis' backup-they had Sam Gash at FB, who was arguably the best lead blocker in the NFL for 3-4yrs...Ben Coates was their 2nd Tight End behind Shannon Sharpe-2yrs earlier those2 were the 2 best TEs in the entire AFC if not the entire NFL...They also had Brandon Stokley at WR, not to mention a gargantuan HOF LT...

[@BTLAGS]

One of the best offenses and the best defense squared off in the kickoff opener in 99 as little-known teams

[@Pdstor]

That offense did not deserve that defense, and that defense didn't deserve that offense. Both teams won the next two years despite, and perhaps in spite, of the other side of the ball.

[@nazareth8199]

Man, the Rams was a perfect storm of elite skill talent that played fast with a QB that was all precision. That offense was lethal in a dome. The Rams from '99-'01 changed the way the NFL thought about offensive match ups and personnel packages and the need for speed at the skill positions.

[@b-man1232]

Just saw the movie about Kurt Warner ("American Underdog"). Wow...10/10! One of the best stories ever told!!

[@deanladue5367]

I remember watching this game with some interest with both teams. The new Ravens head coach was the former offensive coordinator and architect of one of the most devastating offenses in league history in the '98 Vikings. On the other side was a rather unknown offensive coordinator named Mike Martz, Martz was OC and quarterbacks coach for the Redskins in '98. When the Redskins played the Vikings in '98 they were clobbered 41-7 by the high octane Viking offense. I've always thought that Martz picked up his ideas for the '99 Rams offense from seeing that '98 Vikings offense up close and how it could explode on any given play. The similarities between the two were very obvious.

"looks at title" Oh cool! Some highlights of the debut of 'The Greatest Show on Turf'!

"Suddenly realizes that this was the first time these two Hall of Fame players faced each other" ..... "grabs popcorn" This is going to be good. "watches video" Yep. I was not disappointed watching these guys strut thier stuff! Thanks for posting these highlights of this game. I had forgotten that one of the greatest offenses in NFL history, faced off with one of the greatest defenses in NFL history right at thier respective beginnings. (though it can be said the Baltimore Ravens D was great years before this but the 1999 season was the prelude to the imfamous 2000 Baltimore defense, or as I like to call it, "The Unkindness of Ravens" season.) Very well made highlight reel.

First of all and as a Ravens hardcore fan, I would have to say, the Rams were AWESOME that year! I rooted for them in those playoffs all the way through, since my 8 and 8 Ratbirds (proudly said!), couldn’t make it through Festivuus. I would’ve loved to see this match played in a SB! Of course, not in January 2000, but in 2001. Of course the score in regular season 01 would’ve been Ravens 15, Rams 12 ( with the SL scores going like this: a TD by either IB or MF: a field goal and sack and safety to either Banks or Dilfer)! Great memories even though we lost.

[@mattf9076]

That Defense the Ravens had the following year, Oh my. When they played Denver in the wild card game I told everyone they are going to win the super bowl because of their defense. I never seen anything like that. To me they only had 1 defense play and that was "Tecmo Bowl selecting our opponent's play", then watch purple just swarm wherever the ball went.

[@chrisokeeffe3895]

You can see the seeds planted for the 2000 Ravens in this game. They clearly playes extremely well against one of the greatest offensive teams of all time.

[@ajbahus]

Chris O'Keeffe Weird seeing McAllister wearing #28. Starks taking over for DeRon Jenkins was addition by subtraction. Sam Adams’ arrival completely beefed up the Ravens D-Line and all but took away the oppositions running game.

You could say that or you could say the very opposite, since this was the very first game of the Greatest Show on Turf.

That’s how I feel it works when you’ve been bad for so long, when u realize u finally have elite talent on one side of the ball via drafting and developing u go all in on the other side of the ball.

The plan is to do them for all the games from '99; however, the NFL is blocking my upload for the Rams/Titans Week 8 game. I re-edited it and I'm going to try uploading it again this weekend, but if it is still blocked I'll probably have to skip that one.

[@jessetaylor7797]

Daniel Leu I don't understand why the NFL blocks uploads of games. It's not as though they're selling them and you're taking business away from them. They have all these games that they know people would love to see, but they refuse to make it available. Why not at least let people upload it if they have the games? Fascist assholes.

[@отпирайте]

Jesse Taylor its probably some principle bullcrap. I have heard that it is possible to contact nfl films and they can give some games/documents etc for good amount of money. And there is gamepass, but that only goes till 2009. But uploading games from 2009 forward do sort of take their money.

[@michaelfang1393]

Then one day Tom Brady showed up. 😎 But fr, after seeing that American Underdog film, Kurt is a hell of a QB and a great family man. It's just too bad he wasn't stuck playing in the NFL more since he was getting too old. Would like to see some more epic match ups with him.

That was a spectacular effort from the defense that would win the next Bowl against the offense that would win this one, but the offense that didn't deserve the next Super Bowl kept giving it away to the defense that didn't deserve this one. Mitchell only saw one playoff game if I remember right, and it was as ugly as the rest of his career, poor guy.

[@um52]

Really random and No disrespect to warner and the greatest show on turf, but if the 99 rams faced the 2000 Ravens, Baltimore I feel would've held them to less than 10 points...their defense was that unstoppable that season. Anyways, thanks for posting this video

[@DanielLeu_Rams]

How would you figure? Baltimore's defense and St. Louis's offense fielded nearly the exact same starters in 1999 and 2000. The Ravens had the 1st ranked defense and the Rams had the 1st ranked offense in 2000. In 2000, the Ram offense averaged over 33 points a game. The only game where the Rams scored less than 20 points was a 3-16 loss to Carolina where Warner was injured. In 2000, the Raven defense held opponents to 9 points or less 12 out of 21 times (~57%). I don't think the 2000 Ravens would have held the Rams to less than 10 points, but I think it would've been another low scoring game like this 1999 match-up. Hard to say though since they'll never play each other. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@thebayareastandout]

I think the rams would score 14. The bucs held them down in the 99 playoffs so the ravens probably could too.

[@DanielLeu_Rams]

The Rams played the Buccaneers in 2000 (which fielded mostly the same starters on defense) and scored 35 points on them. Again, I wish those two teams could've played each other that year.

[@martinishot]

No way. Warner here is ripping the same Raven D lineup as 2000 for 284 yards in his first NFL start still learning the GSOT system. And doing it without Faulk, who the 2000 Ravens would have no answer to.

I don't know if I'd say Kurt was at his best this game. I mean, this was his very first start in the NFL and it was against a pretty good Ravens defense. Kurt did gamble on a lot of throws though that many other quarterbacks wouldn't try (or make). Maybe it was because the Rams receivers were unbelievably good. Maybe it was because Kurt is one of the most accurate passers in history. Maybe it was because the Rams knew they could score at any point in any game and didn't fear turning the ball over.
