They were a bit of an enigma. The 2000 Rams, unlike the 1999 and 2001 versions had a terrible defense, which is why they were worse overall. But at the same time, the Rams turned it over a ton. They even led the league in offensive turnover percentage in 2001, yet still went 14-2.

It's remarkable how much more tame crowds are now, even with the Bucs winning, they don't get anywhere close to this kind of energy anymore.

[@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820]

Technically every team has to outscore their opponents to win :P but yes I know what you mean. As a Cowboys fan, I think of the 2013 team which had a great offense and an absolutely awful defense. They lost a game 51-48 to Denver that year.

[@astrostar49]

That 4 year stretch between 1999 and 2002 had the Rams/Bucs dueling every year. Bucs won every game except the 1999 NFC Championship, which of course was controversial due to that Bert Emanuel non-catch. All of the games were good. BTW, it's still amazing to me that the 1999 Rams had one of the better defenses in the league, but with pretty much the same roster plummeted to the bottom the very next season. They had a harder schedule, but they just looked like a completely different unit. The play in this game at 20:24 was essentially a microcosm of how bad they were.

[@justice4all371]

I watched a video about the 1999 Rams and the key members of their defense (Kevin Carter, Todd Lyght, D’Marco Farr and Keith Lyle) loved playing for Dick Vermeil. Mike Martz replacing him blew a hole in their chemistry. Plus Carter was unhappy about an unresolved contract dispute. Then the next year was a great turnaround. They hired Lovie Smith straight from the Buccaneers to be their new defensive coordinator. They signed Aeneas Williams as a free agent and then used all three first round draft picks (two of them acquired for Carter and Trent Green) on defense.

[@wayneghent6045]

Probably one of the bucs finest moments, because of the revenge factor Dunn and Faulk showed their greatness

As a life long Bucs fan.... Faulk was AMAZING!!!!!! Go Bucs!

Monday Night Football in 2000 was ridiculous. This game, the Vikes Packers “He did WHAT?” game, and the Dolphins Jets 4th quarter comeback game. All classics.

[@walterlv01]

Crazy part about this matchup between 2 Super Bowl championship teams is that the Rams, known for their unstoppable offense, won the 11-6 game the previous year, while the Bucs, known for their immovable defense, win the 38-35 game this time around. You would think it would have been the opposite.

The feel, the fun-ness, the excitement, the atmosphere, etc... just isn't there and it hasn't been there in a long time.
