Super Bowl XXXIV Trivia Quiz

Answer: Atlanta

Super Bowl XXXIV was the second Super Bowl played at the Georgia Dome, which is part of a complex in downtown Atlanta that includes CNN Center, Phillips Arena, and the Georgia World Congress Center. The NFLs Atlanta Falcons moved to the Georgia Dome from their previous home, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, to start the 1992 season.

Answer: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After posting a 4-12 record in 1998, the Rams stunned the football world by going 13-3 in 1999 and claiming home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings 49-37 in the Divisional Playoffs and faced a Tampa Bay team that had defeated the Washington Redskins 14-13 in the other Divisional Playoff contest. Super Bowl XXXIV marked the Rams second appearance in the Super Bowl, and the first for the franchise representing St. Louis. Twenty years earlier, the Los Angeles Rams faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIV in Pasadena.

Answer: The Titans defeated the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Championship Game

It was, quite literally, a miracle that the Titans made it to Super Bowl XXXIV. Like the Rams, they boasted a 13-3 record, but they lost the AFC Central championship by one game to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They defeated the Buffalo Bills in their Wild Card game on a lateral during a kickoff late in that game; a play popularly known as The Music City Miracle, then went on the road to defeat Indianapolis in the Divisional Playoffs and Jacksonville in the AFC Championship Game.

The late Steve McNair, who was with the team when it was still known as the Houston Oilers, followed in the footsteps of Doug Williams, who was the first black starting quarterback in the Super Bowl.

Answer: True

A journeyman who played for the Iowa Barnstormers of Arena League Football and the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe, Kurt Warner went into the 1999 season as the backup to Trent Green, who signed with the Rams as a free agent. When Green went down for the season with a knee injury, Warner took over the team.

In Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner went 24-for-45 for 414 yards and 2 touchdowns. Not only was it the first 400-yard game in Super Bowl history, it also marked the most passes attempted in a Super Bowl without an interception.

Answer: Jeff Wilkins

Jeff Wilkins spent 11 of his 14 NFL seasons with the Rams, becoming the first player in team history to score 1,000 points. Wilkins kicked three fields goals in Super Bowl XXXIV, giving the Rams a 9-0 lead over the Titans at the half.

Answer: Torry Holt

A rookie out of NC State at the time, Torry Holt had seven catches for 109 yards and the one touchdown in Super Bowl XXXIV. He spent the first ten years of his career in St. Louis, amassing 869 receptions for 12,660 yards and 74 touchdowns.

Answer: Eddie George

The 1995 Heisman Trophy winner as the star running back at Ohio State, Eddie George had a fine career in the NFL, drafted by the Houston Oilers in 1996 and staying with the franchise in its move to Tennessee. George had 28 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Super Bowl XXXIV, his only appearance in pro football's biggest game. Kicker Al Del Greco added a 43-yard field goal with 2:12 left in the fourth quarter to tie the game, marking the largest deficit the largest to be erased in Super Bowl history at the time.

Answer: Isaac Bruce

Drafted by the Rams in 1994, when the team was still in Los Angeles, Isaac Bruce caught six passes for a game-high 162 yards in Super Bowl XXXIV. Bruce spent the first 14 seasons of his NFL career in a Rams uniform before moving on to the San Francisco 49ers in 2008. Both Az-Zahir Hakim and Ricky Proehl were on the St. Louis roster in Super Bowl XXXIV; Gary Clark, who played in two Super Bowls with the Washington Redskins, was out of football after a stint with the Miami Dolphins in the 1995 season.

Answer: Kevin Dyson

During a six-year NFL career that was cut short by injuries, Kevin Dyson was involved in two dramatic plays; The Music City Miracle, the lateral he caught from Frank Wycheck and ran for a touchdown against Buffalo in the playoffs, and The Tackle, in which he caught a pass from Steve McNair and wound up just short of scoring. Dyson also appeared briefly in Super Bowl XXXVIII with the Carolina Panthers.

Answer: Mike Jones

Mike Jones spent just four of his 12 NFL seasons in a Rams uniform. During the 1999 season, he returned two interceptions and one fumble for a touchdown. But it was the touchdown he stopped that cemented his place in Super Bowl history. Jones was supposed to be covering Titans tight end Frank Wycheck on the final play, but noticed Dyson catch the ball and make his way toward the end zone. Jones made the tackle, preserving the Rams first Super Bowl victory.
