The Greatest Show on Turf (1999 St. Louis Rams)
The Build by Josh Zenilman and Ryan Lugash
Episode notes
In August 1999, the St. Louis Rams were 200-to-1 longshots to win the Super Bowl.
Their starting quarterback had just torn his ACL.
The backup had been stocking shelves at a grocery store in Iowa three years earlier for $5.50 an hour.
By February, they'd built the most explosive offense in NFL history and won the championship on the last play of the game.
