This is easily the greatest collection of recievers ever to play on the same field..
All down the field number one and number twos was straight gas.
Both teams really
stokely,wayne,and harrison were also good
@@monsta21cb that's a fact but nothing compared to these guys
I'm assuming you're referring to the starters for both teams, in this case being Isaac Bruce, Tory Holt, Randy Moss and Cris Carter, in which case I'd have to disagree with the "easily" the greatest collection distinction. While you might be correct that cumulatively that four are the best, it certainly isn't a foregone conclusion either. Off the top of my head, the quartet of Swann, Stallworth, Branch, and Biletnikoff is pretty hard to top, and I think one can make a case for the best quartet of starting WR's on the same field being Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Art Monk, and Gary Clark. I'm sure we could come up with a least a dozen other really strong contenders through the years. Also, what is the measurement? Is it for the same season they all had in the year of the game they played, or is it retrospectively of their entire careers?
R.I.P. Pat Summerall and John Madden, the greatest broadcasting team to ever call every NFL game for more than 2 decades.
The voice for both for me Madden and summerall.
Totally agree' the best broadcasters ever hands down, I also like al Michael's, And if your from California you know chick Hearn Lakers broadcaster.
It's not even close Pat was so smooth with is delivery and John just know football damn I miss them
Hands down.
I said the same thing especially if you're a Madden fan, playing the early days of this game an hearing they're voices just brings back a lot of child hood memories
When it comes to shooting themselves in the foot in the playoffs the Vikings are second to none.
I hope they put the rams bucs nfc championship game eventually but love these old games
Been a Vikings fan since 92', we have never won 2 playoff games in the same year since😏
Warner just happens to be one of my all-time favs and feel hes incredibly under rated
That kick return to start the second half and turnovers killed the Vikings that year
Rams fan since 67. Saw them djiithemselves n d foot several times vs. vikes. 69..74...76...77.attended d mud bowl....finally 78
The sad part of that comment is the truth 😔 HURTS!
Cause that's my team.
@@gordonreed2736 👍🏾
Kurt was bagging groceries when he got the call from the Rams. This is one of the greatest stories in Football.
I think he was bagging actual ram meat at the time as well.
I agree, I miss this era of football, Brett Favre just a sandlot gunslinger, Kurt Warner a grocery bagger, and John Madden blathering about his Thanksgiving turducken. Such a great time for the NFL...
Kurt Warner #1 and thanks to Brian Cox hit on Bledsoe,Brady #2...
He was actually the best Arena League QB when the Rams called him. It was the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena League who called Kurt when he was stocking groceries. He was a few years removed from a temporary job at the grocery store before he played in the NFL.
David Eagin oh man all this time I been saying this to anyone who would listen lol thanks for clearing that up man
Issac Bruce admitted that he pulled his hamstring before the game but didn't tell anyone in fear of being pulled or limited in the game. Yet he caught the first play for a TD and showed no sign of grimacing in pain. Amazing.
I pulled my dick at a whorehouse once, I kept it to myself too out of fear of being pulled out early or limited. Yet I lasted the whole night & showed no sign of grimacing except at climax. An amazing feat too.
Bruce tested positive for ligma though
@@omegamanGXE💀
Cris Carter always looked like he was 40
cocaine does that
Also, being an upright walking talking compost heap of a human does that.
And what team you played for???😂😂😂
He still does
He was 35 here. Lol. Not like he was a kid. Alot of 35 year olds look 40.
I remember Domino's had this special going. $1 off for every TD the Rams scored. They were selling large pizzas for $3 that day. Two and a half hour wait. Until they ran out of cheese.
😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fuuuuuuuuuuuck
I love Domino's.
I remember that.
😂😂
thats cool
That Rams offense was like playing Madden on rookie difficulty.
I score like that on All pro.
Viking fan here, I remember that game and it was hard to watch, but Kurt Warner and company were incredible. Stories like Warner are what make the NFL awesome.
This was when in 98 99 and 2000 they had 3 diff qbs play at a mvp level
What makes the NFL awesome is players that come from humble beginnings and can end up being NFL stars. Warner, Bress, and Brady are just a few. Guys can walk on to a college team, and some stars were undrafted.
MN's offense was actually better. That's the shame of it. MN took too long(6 games) to bench Cunningham, going 2-4. Had they started George earlier, who was obviously better, this game would've been in Minneapolis.
Not so much cuz its rigged and scripted,dk how scripted it was then when I used to watch it,but the majority of the past 20 DEFINATELY!!
Vikings just had too many turnovers 100% could have won this game
That 2nd half kickoff was a complete dagger. Vikings never recovered.
That and Denny Green taking a knee once more before the end of the 1st half. Up 17-14, the Rams were reeling a little bit. Denny of course did the same thing vs Atlanta the prior year.
@@Deepscope22 I respect Denny Green but he was conservative to a fault, he just didn't have that killer instinct in the playoffs. Taking a knee when you have Moss, Carter, and underrated Jake Reed along with qb's Cunningham and George who can stretch the field? It boggles the mind.
@Razh 80 Indeed
Wasn't about the Vikings. No doubt they were a powerhouse. But the Rams of the era were almost unfairly assembled and as a Rams fan, it was incredible. That era reminds me of those periods when you had these torrid relationships that would last a few months and then evaporate. Of course it was unsustainable, but so fun while it lasted.
The Moe Williams fumble on the kickoff too. I loved that dude later in his career as the workhorse goal line/3rd down/do-it-all back but that fumble was brutal. I have no doubt they could have easily scored on that drive and I feel like the pressure would have been on the Rams to score if they were up 28-24. The Vikes defense was playing well at the end of the first half, they just got super tired when they were on the field for what felt like the whole third quarter. I remember watching this as a die-hard 11 year old Vikings fan and still thinking they had a chance when they were down by 4 touchdowns.
As a 49ers fan this year was a nightmare. We had killed the Rams like 17 STRAIGHT TIMES from 1991 to 1998. Then 1999 happened. We lost Steve Young in week 3, and by week 5 the Rams were in full force. The glory days had officially faded.
That being said, much respect to that three year from the Rams had from 1999 to 2001. Personally I think it's the best stretch in that time for an offense I'd ever seen. Even compared to some of the years the 49ers had together in the 80s and 90s. Too bad we didn't get a Rams/Ravens Super Bowl in 2000.
If Warner didn't break his hand in 2000, we would have saw Rams/Ravens. I still think the Ravens would have won because the Rams were horrible at defense that year.
@@jyu467 Ravens' defense stiffed every offense that year. They would've had the same Super Bowl score if the Rams were in it.
@@jyu467 If only we didn't have the 31st ranked defense as well
That would have been an amazing game. The Mike Martz/Ray Lewis chess match would have been legendary, the Rams had the speed other AFC offenses didn’t have. It would have been played on grass so the Ravens wouldn’t have had to worry about Trent Dilfer in a shootout. The more I think about it, the more I feel robbed about Az Hakim dropping that punt.
I feel like even if they both met in the Superbowl the Ravens would've still most likely won. That defense was legendary and look how the Rams barely escaped Tampa Bays defense the week after this game.
That damn Jeff George had some amazing arm talent . Right there with Rodgers and mahomes . Such an underachiever .
Mahomes overrated
I love the way he throws the football I see why was the number 1 pick
lmao
... George had the best-arm... I've ever seen...
The best offensive team I've ever seen. If they played with today's rules they would have scored 650 points...maybe even 700.
In the first 6 games of 2000, they were even better, averaging 44 points per game. If they had kept that pace, they would have indeed ended up with 700 points.
What happened after week 6 that year? Did someone get injured?
That was a fun team to watch
@@12from121 Yea Kurt Warner did
@@arodgers12fan3 it seems Warner was always injured. It's a shame he didn't get that many quality seasons
As a St. Louis Rams fan, Bob and weave was the greatest thing before NFL killed it.
why if i might ask?
@@inosurrender8327 they said that it was "inappropriate" and "insulting" to opponents. That's why they killed it.
@@cyrillesu The Competition Committee included members from the queens, bucs and titans, the three teams the RAMS had defeated in the post season. They held a grudge for getting whipped and that was their petty way of getting some revenge. Jeff Fischer was the titans rep on the committee, BTW.
@@OBESPRING1982 99 Rams and the Bob ‘N Weave? It was banned at those March owners meetings in 2000, along with all other choreographed celebrations on the field of play involving two or more players. The vote was 30-0-1.
@@dustinssimpson At the recommendation of the aforementioned competition committee. And if you think it wasn't those petty bastards, including 7-9 fish bait, that specifically targeted the Rams, then why do we see choreographed celebrations today that are much more elaborate than the bob and weave and we've been seeing such for YEARS.
This marked
-The first playoff win for the Rams since 1989
-The first home playoff win for the Rams since 1989
-The first playoff win for Dick Vermeil as a NFL head coach since the 1980 NFC Championship game
-The first ever NFL playoff game held in St. Louis
-The first ever NFL playoff win for a team based in St Louis
-The last playoff game for Jeff George as a NFL starting QB
Doesn't get much better than this,2 teams with two of the best wide receiver combos you will ever see,Kurt warner is one of the best QB to ever play the game.
This was so fun to watch!!! Offenses on fire on that old turf!
Don’t you dare tell me St. Louis is not a great football city. Listen to the crowd, the dome was absolutely rocking with noise. This was of course when the team had an owner that actually cared about the on-field product however.
Absolutely. Los Angeles has so much going on they don’t give a shit about the team. Teams like Cleveland Detroit KC St. Louis etc live for it
This was the most “out of nowhere” thing I ever experienced watching football. I remember Trent Green got hurt I believe in week 1 or 2 and it was a huge deal. Then this team just started slaughtering everybody and people were like “what??” Even Sports Illustrated had an issue with Warner on the cover that said “Who is this guy?” Lol. On top of that they played the Oilers who just became the Titans that year in the Super Bowl. What a wacky season.
It was preseason week 3, and it was a real heartbreaker. The Rams had been drafting very well for a few years, but had been comically bad at QB and RB so it didn't matter. The Marshall Faulk trade and the Trent Green signing meant that the Rams could finally be a real threat, only for Green to go down in the preseason on a late, dirty hit by Rodney Harrison. Mike Martz (OC) persuaded Dick Vermeil to stick with backup Warner, and the rest as they say is history.
I do remember Paul Zimmerman from Sports Illustrated with a brief end-of-preseason note that Kurt Warner was looking fine taking all the first-team reps, but other than that he was not on anyone's radar going into the year. Most people had "well, hope he can be better than Tony Banks" as his ceiling.
@@silverwheel The 99 Rams are the greatest Damn Yankees story in football history.
No franchise has ever emerged from such abject failure; (the 90-98 Rams were the worst team of the 90's, and had one of the worst 9 year spans in league history.) to reach such dazzling heights.
The 99 Rams had one of the 10 best seasons in history that year.
They remain the ONLY team to score more than 500 points and allow less than 250.
Their average margin of victory in games they won was 22.7.
An absurd point differential.
That is the highest in league history.
The odds of an awful team turning around this much have to border on the fantaatical.
No team came from as far, and as fast from oblivion as the Greatest Show Turf.
In my opinion they are the greatest NFL story ever told.
I remember my sister picked up Kurt Warner in fantasy on a whim right when that season started. I always called that the flukiest pick up of all time.
This aged well, the movie The American Underdog illustrated what you have said with the magazine cover and Trent got hurt and all. The movie was an awesome biography!
This was the best single season offense I've ever seen. So many weapons, could score in an instant!
A week later we got to see how good the Bucs defense was.
@@rygap7363 i don't disagree with that. They were awesome.
Damn Moss had some sweet catches
You should try to find Warner and Moss bombing together in the Pro Bowl....Warner still had his touch and he was throwing UNDEFENDABLE RAINBOWS to Moss !!!!! It was incredible!
Jake reed was underrated
" I guarantee it won't be that kinda Game next Sunday "
- John Madden
Next Sunday NFC championship Game.
Rams 11
Bucs 6
i was looking for this comment lol
That Bucs defense gave the GSOT all they could handle.
Fun Fact: Whenever the Rams and Bucs face each other in the playoffs, it's always a baseball score
Yeah that's back when the broadcasts were both entertaining and enlightened by real football people's
@@evonnamann2251 people* . People= plural
Odds of winning a football game by scoring 37 points? 97% Unless your playing against Kurt Warner
Kurt had no pressure whatsoever. He had a 5 to 6 yard cushion in his pocket on almost every throw..
Orlando might be the best left tackle of all time
@@erocs9747 Agreed.Orlando was also dominant playing in college for Ohio St.It was one of the best draft picks St.Louis aquired.
Actually watch the entire video. 2nd half there was a lot of pressure and Warner had great pocket presence to step up and avoid sacks.
@@BBOZ83 I saw 5he game when it happened. Warner had a great run if 2 or 3 years very little pressure and a quick release.
Jeff George lowkey had a really solid season for Minnesota
Then redskins paid him!
That’s called the Randy Moss effect.
@@rightorracist8203 Yeah but you still gotta get the ball to Moss. Not all QB's can throw 45yds in the air on a dime without setting their feet. Watch George on a lot of these throw...he has one of the biggest cannons in NFL history.
He had several good seasons. Had a great one in atlanta and a great one in Oakland and of course this season. He could just never put several good seasons together. Very accurate and a cannon of an arm. Always struggled avoiding the rush though.
@@sethtate2079 not saying he was trash - but Moss made guys like George, Culpepper and even Cassel look way better than they actually were
Great highlights. Almost forgot how good Jeff George was at times. Hard to believe it’s the 20th anniversary year of the debut of the “Greatest Show on Turf.”
Yea then they had culpepper waiting in the wings
I visit RUclips often to watch Kurt Warner and the Rams play. Glad these videos are here. What a great time for football.
Indianapolis traded away prime Marshall Faulk for a 2nd and 5th round pick. As good as Edgerrin James was, imagine if Peyton Manning had Harrison and Faulk as his primary weapons from 1999-2002 or so.
At first Faulk was very upset because he knew peyton was gunna be special. Edgerrin was cold but he wasnt Faulk
lol that wouldnt have changed anything. Edgerrin James had 1500 yards and 13 TDs in 99 and 1700 yards and 13 TDs in 2000. Manning always had a stacked offense. There’s a reason he’s known as a choker
Honestly, Faulk was great, but I’m not upset with it at all. The only sad part is that they didn’t get more in that trade for him. James was a terrific replacement for Faulk, if they could’ve gotten at least a first round pick that could’ve turned into a big time player. Either way, I think the colts were better off with James. I think he was a better fit on the colts and Faulk was a better fit on the rams. Plus James’ prime outlasted Faulk’s by a good bit so, I think it turned out the best way it could’ve for both running backs.
Even
Fualk and Manning are both HOF and with how good Faulk made the Rams and Kurt Warner, yeah one can imagine how much Manning would have benefited from having him
You could argue the same about the Rams and Jerome Bettis
My brother and I sat in Section 452 all season. One of the best years of my life
Just food for thought but as this game is the 1999 nfc divisional round NOBODY who played in this game is in the league anymore as the two oldest players currently still playing came from the 2000 draft (Tom Brady and Sebastian Janakowski)
Light Yagami Uh not true. How could you forget Adam Vinatieri? Dude has been kicking since 1996
@@geminiman7791 yeah i misremembered him retiring at the end of last year good catch. I seen his stats for 2018 on pro football reference
Liam Mitchell Didn't know if it was you or not at first but I really like your videos. Even thought I'm a Green Bay fan I like to see any vintage NFL really and agree with how feel about the modern game and how sissified it is.
This rams team was so lethal because there defense was also damn good. Believe they were 3rd or 4th in total defense this year .
@A A they beat em tho
3rd
They would have won 3 -4 in a row if Dick V haven’t left.. he said he regrets leaving..
they were/could have been the cowboys of the 90’s in the 2,000’s
Martz was too loose with the term and they lost focus and didn’t adjust against the pats..
@@TRUMP-2024-STF It's too bad they couldn't have gotten at least another championship with Warner...
@@mikesteelheart
I know.
Mark Martz didn’t care for Kirt.. and I think that was a contributing factor in 02...
Even George looked good throwing to Moss, Carter and Reed.
He did have a brilliant arm.
For real legendary
Jeff George was a head case, but dude could spin it with the best of them’
That TD kickoff return was a back breaker. Vikings were still a SB contending team in 99 even with Jeff George
It's the middle of the night and I was depressed then I found this video....
Even my Mom started watching the Rams ( she was born on a farm near Bowling Green Mo ) i forget.... this was a really good year.... thanks for the memories... Peace
Man hard to believe its been so long lol I remember watching Moss play in Highschool
I got Barry Sanders #1
And Marshall Faulk #2
That rams defense got no love.. sack after sack after sack.
Against a good OL, too.
"The Rams were only behind 4 minutes and 11 seconds. They have some work to do.
Rams: 'k.
I watched this game with my dad. He was so pissed they left LA yet he was cheering like crazy!
Same here not same without him gone
Easily...the most potent offensive squad in the history of the NFL. Man, I miss the days of anticipating this team taking the field on a weekly basis.
Boy that Vikings offense was loaded too.
except for jeff George
@@ddiesel1836 his canon arm was perfect for Randy Moss… had a record of 8-2 as a starter that year
I'm from St Louis, and was a Cowboys fan b4 they came. So I never left my Boyz. But this was good for the city. And with Nelly coming out too about the same time, the Loo was rockin.
Warner is by far the best I've seen at hitting receivers in stride, he does it so consistently, I'm not saying he's the best QB, he just knows how to throw receivers open, hit them where they can smoothly keep running, he did it in Arizona as well, it's beautiful to watch.
I miss John Madden & Pat Summerall.
We all do and wayyyy better than joe buck even though jack buck is a st louis legend
Jeff George as QB of that Vikings team.... Can only imagine how they would have performed with an All Pro behind center
Imagine if this was the ‘98 Vikings tho... actually come to think of it, anyone ever realizes that 2 of the best offenses of all time came in back to back years. Must’ve been a fun time to be a fan.
I was at this game totally awesome win by the Greatest Show on Turf my grandpa who watched at home didn’t go to the bathroom for fear of missing something that’s hilarious awesome playoff run you probably won’t see an offense like this ever again.
This is the most talented and best offense I’ve ever seen don’t know how they didn’t win more
Vintage Jeff George at times he could look great at times he could look clueless esp against basic blitzes lol
Like the days with the falcons
This was the year the jags 14-2 should've made the superbowl
All 3 Jags losses that year came from the Titans.
And only lost to the titans lmao
jags had the #1 offense AND defense. Nobody remembers how AMAZING those 90s jags really were until Coughlin fucked em all up money wise.
@@RobReynard5884rams had the #1 offense
What a perfect day to upload this
Seeing how my Rams are playing this year keeps bringing me back to videos like this so that I can actually see us score 😞
1:27 You know it's a good play-call when you could throw to either WR, and it would have been a TD. Doesn't hurt when you have Kurt Warner throwing the ball, and two amazing WR's (that should be H.O.F's in the future) in Torry Holt/Isaac Bruce.
I still remember the second the news broke on ESPN that Marshall Faulk was coming to the Rams. San Diego State phenomenon who I wish had been drafted by my team out of college was now in the building. The Edward Jones Dome. The Rams and the NFL would never be the same.
This football looks way more fun than what we watch today
I still can't get over this team....Warner and them boys were lit!
...10:25 the looks on Chris's & Jeff George's faces; Priceless!
I got to go to the NFC Championship game against Tampa Bay. Rams were so fun to watch....
The shaun king year
some of these hits would get you ejected nowadays
Sean Bosworth shut up
definitely..
Aside from the one where the guy lead with his helmet on George, they looked pretty benign to me. At least in this particular clip. * shrug *
The best playoff game I've ever seen in my life!! With the '06 AFC Championship Game between Patriots vs. Colts (35-38)
AMAZING!! EXCITING times and players we won't see again!!
That first pass to Bruce was thrown through 5 guys and how many different people caught passes. Amazing
If the Vikings had had all those give-aways and blown that opening kickoff in the 3rd quarter this would've been a pretty close game.
Excellent upload! I had a feeling this would be today's video lol. Love these playoff highlights!
I remember watching this game…they were so explosive.
Dude I will never forget watching this team (the 1999-2002 rams) it was to this day, the funnest team I have ever seen.. just completely stacked
Jim Beaux 2002 they sucked 2003 they were good but Warner got benched half way through
I loved watching Jeff George throw the football. Great arm 👍

That is cool to hear - broadcasters incredible, miss them. Kurt, my favorite QB ever, started with my love of Arena FB, Iowa Barnstormer taking down my Milwaukee Mustangs (I forgive you Kurt). Faulk one great RB too. The receivers were fast and best in the game. I miss the greatest show on turf performances! Packer fan, but got to appreciate it!
ST LOUIS ... SALUTE ... GREATEST SHOW ON TURF ... 💪🏾💯👍🏾❤
After watching Goff stumble through this entire season I just had to remind myself of what a real Rams Quarterback looked like. Goff looks like he's in slow-motion compared to Warner.
Back when football was watchable. Miss those days.
This is the epitome of a “score wasn’t even that close” game.
I don't like how the Rams let up early and let the Vikes get those onsides
Two best offenses

This was basically the 1998 Vikings who scored a then record 556 points versus the Greatest Show on Turf. You can't find a team that dominated a season as unexpectedly as the 1999 Rams
Ya even the next year when giants beat them 41-0
That TD to Moss that Madden said George just threw up there. Was an absolute fucking Dime. That dude could sling it.
Crazy to think Vikings were in the nfc championship with Randall Cunningham in 98. Divisional round with Jeff George in 99, and then the Nfc championship with Dante Culpepper in 2000 and lost all of them
Vikings have 6 consecutive conference championship losses dating back to 1977
0:52
Isaac Bruce Touchdown
2nd round pick by the LA Rams 🐏 (1994)
Led the league in TD catches in 1997
SB34 champion-1999/2000 STL Rams
Tony Horne: just one of many weapons on that team. Epic.
Cris Carter and Randy Moss vs Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Holt
GSOTII is begins week 5.. Warner tagged them that last night after the slaughter.. Per Gurley, we're unbeatable
That Tony Horne kickoff return touchdown really made you wonder if it counted. By the way the fans sounded, you would've thought it got called back because of a hold.
My favorite channel love throwback highlights
Kurt looks awesome
I remember when he had the giants at 6 and 2 and then eli manning took over, and wow this was before he was at ole miss ......
damn I forgot how raw they was!!! damn I feel so old 😂 how many hall of famers out there 5?
More than that!
Vikings - Cris Carter, Randy Moss, Randall McDaniel, John Randle, Chris Doleman.
Rams - Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Orlando Pace
Hard to believe none of the Rams receivers at that time are in Canton.
@@jayNicks10 pretty sure Bruce got in? And Holt will get in soon anyways.
@@jayNicks10 Bruce is in and I'm certain Holt will be in as well in time. Receivers rarely get first ballot HOF.
Such a startling contrast with the Tampa game the next week. Madden and Pat talking here about how it wouldn't be like the old 9-0 match from years back, but it was in fact that kind of low scoring affair. Tampa was the only D in the league that didn't fear the Rams.
Good old Summerall and Madden. Loved hearing those comforting voices from yesteryear.
This game haunts me to this day. I learned what heartbreak was.
I had no recollection of the Vikings leading this game at the half. I remembered this being a total track meet for the Rams, which it sort of was, but the Vikings made it more competitive than I thought. Crazy to think of a Jeff George-led team being so good.
Jeff George has one of the best arms in NFL history. If he was in the right system and knew how to take a hit without running away, he could have been great
Love, love, love those tough looking uniforms!
I was at this game! My very first NFL playoff experience! Got to go to the Tampa game the next week, too! Then my dad got FREE TICKETS TO THE SUPER BOWL AND DIDNT TAKE ME BC I "HAD SCHOOL ON MONDAY" (he really just wanted to party in Atlanta without having to worry about what a 9 year old could / should do 😂 )
Marshall Faulk one of the most stylish runners in history, real life Madden video game player. And was great all around and as a receiver out of the backfield as well. Warner, Faulk, The reverend Issac Bruce, Holt, Hakim, Proehl……what an offense.
L.A Rams I'm a Believer wow!!!
This team was LOADED
That Rams Offense was something serious.
It must have been absolutely awesome to have season tickets to the Rams that year. They weren’t expected to do ANYTHING with a replacement QB.
I started watching football 99. 2022 Still got my Horns up.
that defense was under rated too. this team was so fun all year to watch. being a bengals fan there was nothing of value for me that year so i latched on to rooting for the rams in the NFC. what an exciting season.
