Arizona MLB Gerald Hayes makes a leaping interception with one second remaining.The Arizona Cardinals pulled off a thrilling last second victory in Super Bowl XLIV last night, winning 21-17 over the Tennessee Titans. In a game that went back and forth from the get-go, the Cardinals were able to come away with the victory thanks to some last second heroics by MLB Gerald Hayes.
This game is already being called one of the best RUTS games in history.
After Tennessee capitalized on a quick scoring drive to take a 17-14 lead with just over 9 minutes remaining in the game, the Cardinals got the ball, determined to run the clock and move the chains. Arizona dominated the time of possession in this game, and after a drive that saw them convert several key 3rd and 4th downs, Arizona's Beanie Wells lunged into the end zone on a short run with 1:49 remaining in the game. Arizona led 21-17, and with only 1 timeout remaining, the Titans were in dire straights.
After QB Vince Young, who played most of the game at QB for the Titans, was sacked on 1st down, all hope looked lost for Tennessee. But, a huge 4th down and 20 conversion kept the drive alive. All of a sudden the Titans were able to attack the deep middle of the field and drove the ball inside the Arizona 15 yard line. With 8 seconds remaining in the game, Tennessee still had its final timeout and had the Cardinals defense on its heels.
But, the Titans went to the well one time too often. Vince Young tried to loft a post pattern pass in the back of the end zone, but Gerald Hayes' mad hops wouldn't allow it. Hayes picked off the pass, and ran it out of the end zone before being tackled with 1 second remaining. Hayes was named Super Bowl MVP and promised to take Coach Stu to Disney World with him later this week.
It was a thrilling finish to a classic game.
RUTS2, Season 1 is in the books. Congratulations to the Arizona Cardinals and Coach StuBucksman on winning the coveted Lombardi trophy.
