1997 Denver Broncos - Superbowl XXXII Champions

Super Bowl XXXV was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) Champion Baltimore Ravens and the National Football Conference (NFC) Champion New York Giants to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2000 Season. The Ravens defeated the Giants to win their first championship in franchise history. Their 34–7 victory was tied for the seventh largest Super Bowl margin of victory with Super Bowl XXXVII. The game was played on January 28, 2001, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, the first time the stadium held a Super Bowl. The Ravens, who posted a 12–4 regular season record, became the third wild card team to win the Super Bowl and the second in four years. The Giants entered the game seeking to go 3–0 in Super Bowls after also finishing the regular season with a 12–4 record. The Ravens allowed only 152 yards of offense by the Giants (the third-lowest total ever in a Super Bowl), recorded four sacks, and forced five turnovers. All sixteen of the Giants' possessions ended with punts or interceptions, with the exception of the last one, which ended when time expired in the game. The Giants' lone touchdown, a 97-yard kickoff return, was quickly answered by the Ravens on an 84-yard touchdown return on the ensuing kickoff. The Giants became the first team since the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII not to score an offensive touchdown and the fifth overall. This was the fourth Super Bowl where the winning team outscored the losing team in all four quarters. Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who made three solo tackles, two assists, and blocked four passes, was named Super Bowl MVP. This was the fifth meeting between teams from Baltimore and New York City for a major professional sports championship, which previously occurred in the 1958 and 1959 NFL Championship Games, Super Bowl III (in which the New York Jets famously upset the Baltimore Colts), and the 1969 World Series. A team from Baltimore had not won a Super Bowl since the Colts' victory in 1971.
