10 Best Super Bowl Plays Ever

3. Super Bowl 34: Kevin Dyson Is Tackled At The One-Yard Line

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQZZVH-gVk0 Football is, in it's simplest form, a game of yards. Like all American sports, football statistics rain down during a game as commentators tell you a team's average for passing yards, their running back's career rushing yards, their kicker's longest field goals and the yardage of just about every record in the game's history. The NFL can't stop giving you yardage and the fundamental rule underpinning the whole sport is that teams have four downs to make ten yards. How must it feel, then, to have a season come down to just one? The St. Louis Rams were close to winning Super Bowl 34 when the Tennessee Titans made their run. They were at the Rams' ten-yard line with just six seconds left when quarterback Steve McNair hits Kevin Dyson with a pass and Dyson is tackled yards later by Rams linebacker Mike Jones. Dyson twists, turns and reaches the ball out as far as he can but it just isn't enough. He is down at the Rams' one-yard line with no time left on the clock. It is a play that epitomises what the NFL tries to instill in their players. That not only does every yard matter, but also that absolutely anyone can make a play. Mike Jones didn't make any Pro Bowls, his number wasn't retired and he isn't going to the Hall of Fame. He did, however, make one of the NFL's most iconic plays as the outstretched arm of Kevin Dyson lives on as the image of a franchise getting so close but coming up short.
