That’s a powerful scene. When Tom Hanks just looks at her and tells her how sorry he is…sadness.
Also this movie is the first thing I think of whenever I see the photo of him reaching for the goal line with the ball. My mind goes right to that line by Helen Hunt about how exciting the game was.

Former oilers fan. Loved this moment. Sorry for you though. A loss in the big one always sucks.

As a Seahawk fan I can commiserate about goal line losses in the Super Bowl.

Man, I was a huge McNair fan too and this was brutal. I really wish he got a chip before retiring... RIP

You deserved to lose that game, you made it in on a forward lateral that the refs were to afraid to overturn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpMX0QNMiu0

It was on the line and Dyson stepped back to catch it.

I sat with Mike Jones and his family once at one of those hibachi grill type places. He was super cool and happy to tell me and my son all about The Tackle. He signed my son's hat and everything. Great dude.

Watched that play happen on TV. Not a huge football fan but I loved the superbowl games back then.
That was an incredible game.

Our high school football team got together to watch the game and have a Madden tournament. I’ll never forget it. We were all on the edge of our seats on that final drive, jumping up and yelling on that last play.

For anyone that wants to see the video. Final play is at the 2:35 mark.
Looks like his knee went down at the two yard line.
OlderwomenRbeautiful t1_j6laxqh wrote
Knee was at the 2 but he was stretching the ball out to the 1. I say the spot would have been the 1 yard line.

Maybe it’s just me but that coverage looks dangerous for a redzone situation.
Was 52 playing man? Or was this some zone formation?
87 had a clear shot if 52 was just a foot off.

I was working fast food when that Super Bowl took place. Everyone who started to talk about the game we shushed them as I was taping it and a bunch of us were going to my place to watch it after shift. The last costumer of the day in drive thru yells out the Rams tackled him at the goal line to win the game woo hoo. We all just kind of looked at each other and said forget about it, better to just go home and go to sleep then.

Inches? He was down by contact at the four yard line, rolled, then stuck the ball out.
Cronotyr t1_j6krwa5 wrote
So 144 inches.
MyWorldTalkRadio t1_j6kvdlj wrote
Whether it’s an inch or a mile am I right?
amccune t1_j6lh3aj wrote
I mean. It was inches. If he wasn’t down and got that all stretched out, it crosses the plane, it’s a tuddy.

Your use of the word “tuddy” is proof you’re out of your element here. He had zero chance. Zero.

He catches the ball at the 4, down at the 2 with the ball on the 1
quinnbeast t1_j6mkhn0 wrote
It was never remotely close to a touchdown, as this photo falsely implies.
jubbu t1_j6omwg6 wrote
I wasn't responding to the photo I was responding to your statement that is also not even close to accurate.
How can you complain about OPs accuracy while also making up stuff?
quinnbeast t1_j6oqc3c wrote
Not making anything up. This photo is a lie. Dyson rolled to get there then stuck the ball out.
jubbu t1_j6osod5 wrote
Yes the photo is a lie. And your claim he was down by contact at the 4 yard lie was a lie.
Why is it ok for you and not the picture/op?
quinnbeast t1_j6otqju wrote
Put the phone down and/or don’t piss away 2nd half time outs lol
jubbu t1_j6ous17 wrote
Ok
Stealthychicken85 t1_j6j9zff wrote
It was not inches, it was clearly a full yard. As he was tackled and rolled on the ground you can see the point of contact his knee touches the ground he was a full yard away. People only show the picture of him fully stretched out after he was already downed.
Edit: Downvote all you want, the term inches is usually referred to extremely short. While it was a full yard away, the picture is always deceptive to make it look closer is all I was trying to point out
raz_the_kid0901 t1_j6k3qv1 wrote
So 36 inches then?

This game that I watched on TV as a child is what made me, at the time a boy in Ottawa, Canada, & now a man in Vancouver has made me remain a fan. They are still my team. I have 2 Titans jerseys & even though they have never gone back to the SuperBowl I have remained loyal.
I don’t even need to watch the video to tell you I still vividly remember him reaching.

This is probably the first NFL game I can remember watching. My dad wasn’t a big follower but would watch the Super Bowl. I seem to remember him rooting for the Rams in this one because at that time, they “used to be” a California team (I live in CA). Fast forward 23 years and I’m a loyal 9ers fan and a stout Rams hater lol

Best super bowl ever.
They still would have had to either kick the XP and take it to OT, or go for 2 to win.
But that doesn’t fit the story of “OMG almost won” so that gets left out.

I am a Titans fans and was at the game, watching from the other end of the field.
I saw Dyson make the catch but could not tell if he made it in or not.
The millisecond took an eternity but then I saw the player reactions and I knew.
