Las Vegas – Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner’s first Super Bowl title came against the Tennessee Titans during the 1999 season. The most memorable part of this game was a play known as “One Yard Short” or “The Tackle.”
On the final play of the game, Titans quarterback Steve McNair found wide receiver Kevin Dyson crossing the middle. When Rams linebacker Mike Jones made a tackle in the final moments, Dyson had to break through Rams defenders to get to the end zone. Dyson extended his arm to try to break through the goal line plane, but to no avail.

“The first thing I did was look up at Triple Zero, and I was like, this is the last play. Then my eyes went straight to the referees and they signaled a touchdown.

“Talk about a ‘Bingo moment.’ Being able to hold up that trophy, Mike Jones’ tackle, was a pretty good Bingo moment for me.”
