Re-living ‘99: Detroit rocks city with “Gus vs Them” second half finish

Re-living ‘99: A week-to-week look back on one of the greatest seasons in NFL history.

When we last left them, the 1999 St. Louis Rams were coming off of their first loss of the season. They were now 6-1 and losses always hurt but consider where the Rams were in 1998. The season before ‘99 the Rams lost their first game in Week 1, not in Week 8. They lost their third game in Week 4, not in Week 17.

In their final game of 1998, St. Louis went on the road to face the San Francisco 49ers and surprisingly landed the first blow when Steve Bono threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl.
