Kurt Warner got hurt midway through the 2000 season with a thumb injury and I think that really affected the team. They weren't able to mask their weaknesses on defense and got exposed. That was one of the reasons they went out and got Lovie Smith prior to the 01 season.

That would’ve been a hell of a matchup. I’d probably put my money on Baltimore. In my 40+ years of watching the nfl, the only defense I’d even compare to the 2000 ravens is the 1985 bears. And when you factor in how much offenses evolved in the 15 years between 1985 and 2000, I honestly think the ravens are even more impressive than the bears.

Just before the 2000 playoffs, the rams were starting to get that greatest show on turf aura again after their injuries at the beginning of the season , but then came that TD turnover by Hakim against the saints in the first game of the playoffs, a team they beat just the game before, otherwise they would probably have beaten the rest of the NFC en route to a matchup with the Ravens.

Some quarterbacks are "gunslingers" (e.g., Brett Favre, Bart Starr, Warren Moon, Patrick Mahomes, John Elway, etc.). Others are just smart guys with a strong arm (e.g., Peyton Manning, Aaron Rogers, etc.). Some are smart scramblers (Joe Montana, Russell Wilson, Steve Young, Roger Staubach, Steve McNair, etc.). A few are true duel-threat runners (e.g., Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, etc.). However, some quarterbacks have that special "touch." They can just place that ball exactly where it needs to go. These are the rare breed of NFL QBs. I would include men like Tom Brady, Randal Cunningham, Sam Bradford (when he was healthy)...and Kurt Warner. While elite quarterbacks of any category are difficult to find, the lesser QBs in the same categories are still close enough to win games. However, the difference in the gap between those with the "touch" and those without it is pretty immense. Consequently, if I had to build a team, I'd first build it around someone with that "touch." In fact, I think that Kurt Warner is right up there (in terms of the gifted delivery of a football plus acumen) with Tom Brady. If the right coaches had known this, I think that he could have had multiple SB rings.

The Rams and Ravens both wearing color rush tonight 🔥

[@jaybernskie]

Watch this after watching Netflix’s Underdog… still gives me goosebumps and teary eyes… what a story!

[@1cartierjordan]

this footage just reminds me how great Ray Lewis was

[@Nerd0208]

YES!!!! I was hoping you’d post this game!!!!!!!!

[@relaxmoodsounds6416]

Orlando Pace what an absolute dominant player

[@chaseVA]

Love this video . Rams fan here

[@9ineYT22]

The rams always gona have a good running back 💯

[@markipleur]

JayXhunter HD so are the Vikings

[@kvngirvng9475]

Yeah its a weird thing like its one those position cores you can get wrong : Dickerson, Faulk, Gurley

[@tonymancini8170]

@@kvngirvng9475 Don't forget Steven Jackson. Actually the franchise's all-time leading rusher and was such a beast in the 2000's with them. He had more single-season yards from scrimmage than any of them had with the Rams in '06 with 2,334 yards except for Faulk's '99 season. (Yes even more yards than Faulk's 2000 MVP campaign and Dickerson's 1984 2,000 yard rushing season) He isn't as good as any of those three, but definitely deserves a mention here.

Faulk> Gurley

[@ThaGhettoBlaster]

I remember watching them with my dad when I was 9 years old 👍🏽 he’s a die hard rams fans since LA

[@gregoryviktor3794]

Ray Lewis was a monster in this game. You can see the formation of an all-time great defense in this game. What they were missing was a solid QB. It seemed to always be a problem for the Ravens. Elvis Grbac was a total flop, Kyle Boller was a draft bust and Steve McNair was too old. It's not until they drafted Joe Flacco that they were able to win another Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson is the first franchise QB that they have had. Crazy to think about.

[@chrischar9428]

Greatest defense was Bears. Plus they didn't murder people

[@wizzelhoart]

that turf was ridiculous back then

[@JB-fm4tb]

Who would have known these 2 teams would win the next two Super Bowls !

[@AP3]

The names here! Had no idea London Fletcher played for the rams before going to Washington. Forgot Priest Holmes was on the Ravens before blowing up in KC. I remember a yound Ray Lewis tho. I was like 10 years old during this time. Great era in sports!

[@amihcmedia]

Who else is here because of the Kurt Warner movie?

[@chewy2804]

Just watched it- great movie

[@vdog1535]

This game was a scene in the new movie American underdog, a movie about Kurt Warner

[@stevep8445]

Rodney Harrison was a dirty player. Had a long history of it..

[@dionr1168]

Not only was he a dirty player, he also got busted buying HGH from the same facility that got raided by the Feds in the aftermath of the Chris Benoit tragedy, and promptly served a 4 game suspension for it. That suspension also coincided with his team getting busted in the Spygate scandal.

[@candyboy144]

im here because this was depicted in American Underdog

[@keithmacdonald8829]

Look at that guy at 12:10 in the video. He had to be a foot taller and 200 pounds heavier than the linebacker, lol.

[@provenknowledge]

This is awesome! 😎

[@alexloza6701]

American Underdog!!!!!

[@robbyspades]

Countless future HOF on both sides. Future OPOY in Preist Holmes, right before anybody knew the greatness of both teams. Crazy

[@TheLocalLt]

The Ravens had Priest Holmes BACKING UP Jamal Lewis, both in their primes. Everyone loves to bring up Trent Dilfer, Tony Banks, Elvis Grbac etc and say their offense was horrible. No their PASSING game was horrible.

[@TimCarter]

They also had very little for receivers.

[@davidgraham2673]

What a great team they had.. It was hard to root against those Rams. The storyline behind Kurt Warner as quarterback gave hope to "Joe Sandlot", and stoked dreams of that being us on the field. Too bad they didn't get a slew of Superbowl trophies.

[@davidgraham2673]

@Lighthouse in the Storm I think at one time, or another, all of us may have had that thought. If it's true, then it's time for my team to win another Superbowl. This year will do just fine!

[@sports3117]

THE Greatest show on turf consists of Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, and Marshall Faulk. They were led by OC Mike Martz, who went on be their head coach after Dick Vermeil retired

[@jyu467]

Martz was a horrible coach. Vermeil should've stayed.

[@TheLocalLt]

Sports 311 Dick Vermeil was the real guy, Martz was just his “scheme guy”. He was a bad leader. Also Az Zahir Hakim was part of it until he blew that playoff game with the muffed punt

[@chrischar9428]

Ricky Prohl, AZ hakim
