I agree with #1, but the Pats should have been a little higher.......nobody gave them a chance except i think Theisman and Cris Collinsworth!

But, still the second greatest upset in NFL history, behind the undisputed leader, Jets-Colts.

Had we not won two more superbowls, that upset ranking would have been much, much higher for sure.

Good point, sometimes a stand alone event is not viewed as such.

What's funny about that game is that I was so young (11 years old) and oblivious that I didn't realize how outmatched the Patriots really were. I was nervous and excited, but I kind of expected the Pats to win. Glad I was right.

What I remember about the week leading up to the game was how sure all the players from around the league were that the Rams would win big. There was interview after interview where they were all predicting a 20+ point blowout. But you knew after the 1st qtr that the NE D had come to play.

Good list in this article. Covers all sports, and I can't argue with any of his choices.

What I remember most is Terry Bradshaw before the game when they were predicting

"I have a hard time picking against anyone wearing red, white and, blue callng themselves Patriots."

On a side note regarding the Warriors/Mavericks series, Golden State had beaten Dallas 2 out of 2 this year before their final meeting on April 18th. Dallas coach Avery Johnson, his team having clinched HCA, decided to rest players in that game and Golden State won. Had Dallas won (which could have happened if they tried), the Mavs would have avoided the Warriors and played the Clippers instead.

Strange

That's like in 2005 where if we had beaten the Dolphins instead of resting our players we would have played the Steelers and then the Colts. No Broncos. I don't blame Belichick for that because I think they had already started preparing for Jacksonville weeks in advance (no won could predict the Bengals collapse) but it's still funny how stuff works out like that.
