Although the Rams outgained the Patriots 427-267 in total yards, the Patriots forced three turnovers in the game while committing none. The resulting 17 points from these turnovers was capped off by Adam Vinatieri's 48-yard field goal as time expired, to give the New England Patriots their first Super Bowl title.

The Rams scored first on Jeff Wilkins' 50-yard field goal. With 8:49 left in the second quarter New England's Ty Law stepped in front of an out-pattern pass intended for Isaac Bruce and raced 47 yards into the end zone. Late in the first half the Ram's Proehl fumbled and Terrell Buckley recovered it. Five plays later, Tom Brady's 8-yard touchdown pass to David Patten gave New England a 14-3 halftime lead.

Late in the third quarter New England's Otis Smith intercepted a Warner's pass and returned it 30 yards to the Rams' 33 to set up a Vinatieri's 37-yard field goal and a 17-3 lead.

The Rams responded with Warner scoring to cut the deficit to 17-10 with 9:31 left. The Rams got posession of the ball on their 45-yard-line with 1:51 left. Warner completed an 18-yard pass to Az-Zahir Hakim and an 11-yard pass to Yo Murphy before connecting on a 26-yard touchdown pass to Proehl with 1:30 left to tie the game.

Operating without any timeouts, Brady completed three short passes to J.R. Redmond to reach the Patriots' 41 with 33 seconds left. After an imcompletion, Brady completed 23- and 16-yard passes to Troy Brown and Jermaine Wiggins to reach the Rams' 30, and then spiked the ball with seven seconds remaining. Vinatieri then kicked the 48-yard field-goal attempt, marking the first time in Super Bowl history the game had been won on the final play.

Brady, who earned Most Valuable Player honors, was 16 of 27 for 145 yards and one touchdown. Warner was 28 of 44 for 365 yards and one touchdown, with two interceptions.
