Now to conclude the three-part series...
3. One For Dungy
Tony Dungy, beaming and sporting an NFL champions cap, waded through the mob on the soggy field until he found his quarterback, Peyton Manning, and there they stood in the rain, the winning Super Bowl coach and the MVP, finally savoring a moment that was a long time coming.
Dungy became the first black coach to win the championship, beating good friend and protege Lovie Smith in a game that featured the first two black coaches in the Super Bowl. The Game also had the first opening kick return for a touchdown after a 92 Yard dash by Devin Hester

The Tennessee Titans drove downfield trailing 23-16 with 1:54 left in regulation, and McNair avoided a sack and completed a 16-yard pass to Kevin Dyson to place Tennessee at the Rams' 10 with six seconds remaining. With no timeouts, McNair attempted a quick pass to a slanting Dyson, who caught the ball in stride at the Rams' 3. However, Jones reacted quickly and stepped up to tackle Dyson at the 1-yardline as time expired.
