Re: Another Offseason Query
Wildcard round
#6 Seahawks (9-7) @ #3 Rams (11-5)
Jackson runs wild (154 yards, 3 TDs) as Martz', with his new-found ground game, beats the Seahawks for the 7th consecutive time. Hawks lone bright spot is 6 FGs (54, 52, 46, 35, 34, 34) from Josh Brown.
Rams 38
Hawks 18
Divisional round
#3 Rams (12-5) @ #2 Vikings (13-4)
The Vikings dominant pass rush is silenced by the Rams rejuvenated O-line, as Bulger picks apart the Vikings exposed secondary. Holt, Bruce, and Curtis all eclipse 100 yards for the day. But the highlight of the day is the Vikings first play from scrimmage, Chris Claiborne picks off Culpepper and runs the ball back 40 yards for the first score of the game. In an attempt to bring down the 260 lb backer, Troy Williamson breaks his collar-bone and is sidelined for the rest of the game.
Rams 24
Vikings 10
Conference Championship
#3 Rams (13-5) @ #1 Eagles (13-4)
In an old-fashioned pitcher's dual, the Eagles D is the first to crack as Stephen Jackson's persistence and Mike Martz' utilization of 4 and even 5 receiver sets with Faulk keeps the Eagles guessing well into the 4th quarter until Andy Reid finally guesses wrong, and gives up a 35 yard run to Stephen Jackson for the only TD of the game.
Rams 10
Eagles 3
Superbowl XL
#3 Rams (14-5) @ #1 Patriots (18-0)
With the first perfect season in 34 years on the line, the Patriots are only 4 quarters from achieving history and solidifying their place in history. The only obstacle in their way is the St. Louis Rams. After 3 quarters, the Rams D has stifled the Patriots and rattled Tom Brady to levels of frustration that he has never known. The score after the 3rd is Rams 17 - Pats 3. However, after several questionable calls and non-calls from Bernie Kukar's crew, the Pats pull the score back to a tie with only seconds remaining. The Rams drive to the Pats 40 with a sideline catch by Bruce as he falls out of bounds with :10 seconds left. However, Kukar let the clock run until the mistake became obvious and was stopped by the time-keeper with :01 second left. Instead of going for the 57 yard FG, Martz decides to line-up for the score. As the ball is snapped, Bulger immediately sees his mismatch and launches the ball towards the end-zone as Kevin Curtis runs past Rodney Harrison. With two full steps between Curtis and Harrison, Curtis makes the catch and crosses the goal-line for the win.
Rams 23
Pats 17
