I've also heard that since our defense was so worn out and tired (remember, the Titans had a long drive before that, we scored in one play, then another long drive, sparking the famous "You want out of the game with 23 seconds left to go!?" quote) that the Titans would have leaned on going for 2 points and the WIN if they got that TD.
Super heads up play by Jones.
And that is exactly what I was thinking before "The Tackle" If they had scored on that play the game was going to come down to a 2PT conversion to decide the Championship. The way Eddie George was running the ball in the 2nd Half and our Defense was obviously winded....Thank God Mike Jones made the greatest tackle in Super Bowl History and we didnt have to see if they went for the tie or win.
