Super Bowl XXXIV was an American football game played on January 30, 2000, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion following the 1999 regular season. This was the fourth Super Bowl to be held a week after the conference championship games (the previous time this happened was Super Bowl (XXVIII), and like this game was also played on January 30 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta).
The National Football Conference (NFC) champion St. Louis Rams (16-3) defeated the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Tennessee Titans (16-4), 23-16. This was the Rams' first Super Bowl win and their first NFL championship since 1951.
On the final play of the game, St. Louis linebacker Mike Jones tackled Tennessee wide receiver Kevin Dyson one-yard short of the goal line to prevent a game-tying touchdown. This play later became known as simply "The Tackle."
Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, who completed 24 out of 45 passes for 414 yards and 2 touchdowns, was named the Super Bowl MVP. His 414 passing yards and 45 pass attempts without an interception were both Super Bowl records. Warner became the 6th player to win both the NFL Most Valuable Player Award and the Super Bowl MVP award during the same season. He follows Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Emmitt Smith and Steve Young.
