Dyson, whose kickoff return off a Wycheck lateral had given Tennessee a stunning
wild-card victory over the Buffalo Bills, had another Music City Miracle in
reach. He caught the ball in stride inside the five and had only one man between
him and the first overtime game in Super Bowl history. Jones, however, wrapped
up the wideout, and Dyson's lunge for the goal line fell short. "It seemed
like slow motion," Jones said. "I couldn't see McNair throw the ball,
but I could feel it." It was the rarest of football events -- a Super Bowl
that exceeded its colossal buildup, and nice guys finished first and
last.
