For Tennessee, Super Bowl XXXIV might’ve gone down in history as the game that featured football’s “longest yard,” but as the record will always show, said situations were hardly a problem for their 6-foot-3, 235-pound power back. Simply unwilling to be denied on football’s grandest stage, Eddie George powered in two second-half touchdowns, crucial scores that helped the Titans turn a 16-point deficit into an eventually-tied game. The latter of the two embodied George’s playstyle flawlessly, as he juked one defender, then kept his legs churning against a different 285-pound defender to relentlessly bulldoze his way past the goal line. The St. Louis Rams ultimately prevailed in a 23-16 thriller on Jan. 30, 2000, but the All-Pro George was predictably dominant, recording a 30-touch, 130-yard, two-touchdown effort.
