Signature Moments
The Greatest Show on Turf — 2000 MVP
Faulk was the engine of the Greatest Show on Turf — the most explosive offense in NFL history. He won MVP in 2000, rushing for 1,359 yards and catching 81 passes for 830 yards. He scored 26 touchdowns from scrimmage. He was unstoppable as both a runner and receiver.
The most complete back in NFL history. He could rush for 100 and catch 100 in the same game. Defenses literally could not plan for him.
Super Bowl XXXIV — One Yard Short
The Rams won Super Bowl XXXIV when Kevin Dyson was tackled one yard short of the end zone on the final play. Faulk had 17 touches for 90 total yards. The Greatest Show on Turf won its only championship by the thinnest of margins.
They won by one yard. Literally. The most dramatic finish in Super Bowl history, and Faulk's Rams were on the winning side of the inch.
