Inches Short



The last play of the game. Inches short. Dreams shattered.

The Rams beat the Titans 23-16 in one of the most thrilling Super Bowls in the history of the NFL. Kurt Warner was named the MVP of the game amassing 414 passing yards and throwing for 2 TDs.

The man who made the tackle for the Rams was Mike Jones. In my opinion, regardless of how great of a game Warner had Jones should have been named the MVP of the game. There was absolutely no greater play in that Super Bowl then Jones coming up with that tackle on Andre Dyson.

Had Jones won MVP, no one would have been asking who is Mike Jones?

  1. I agree that I don't know Mike Jones. I do have to say, it would not have been his tackle to make if Kurt Warner did not have the type of game he played. There have been many games where the player made the most important play of the game, yet he didn't receive the MVP. What do you think about having an award about the most important play of the game. Obviously this wouldn't have the appeal like an MVP but it allows us to recognize both players.
