The 2001 season was a historic campaign for the St. Louis Rams, who finished with a franchise-best 14-2 record and captured the NFC West title. Led by the league's top-ranked offense, "The Greatest Show on Turf," quarterback Kurt Warner earned NFL MVP honors while Marshall Faulk was named Offensive Player of the Year. The team became the first in NFL history to score 500 or more points in three consecutive seasons and advanced to Super Bowl XXXVI after dominant playoff victories over the Packers and Eagles.
