'''Super Bowl XXXV''' was an [[American football]] game between the [[American Football Conference]] (AFC) champion [[2000 Baltimore Ravens season|Baltimore Ravens]] and the [[National Football Conference]] (NFC) champion [[2000 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] to decide the [[National Football League]] (NFL) champion for the [[2000 NFL season|2000 season]]. The Ravens defeated the Giants by a score of 34–7, tied for the seventh largest Super Bowl margin of victory with [[Super Bowl XXXVII]].<ref>{{cite web|title=mcubed.net : NFL : Super bowl scores sorted by margin of victory|url=http://mcubed.net/nfl/sbptmar.shtml|website=mcubed.net|access-date=February 3, 2016}}</ref> The game was played on January 28, 2001, at [[Raymond James Stadium]] in [[Tampa, Florida]], making it the first time Raymond James Stadium held a Super Bowl.

The Ravens, who posted a 12–4 regular season record, became the third [[wild card (sports)|wild card]] team to win the Super Bowl and the second in four years. The Giants entered the game seeking to go 3–0 in Super Bowls after also finishing the regular season with a 12–4 record.

Baltimore allowed only 152 yards of offense by New York (the third-lowest total ever in a Super Bowl), recorded 4 sacks, and forced five turnovers. All sixteen of the Giants' possessions ended with punts or interceptions, with the exception of the last one, which ended when time expired in the game. New York's lone touchdown, a 97-yard kickoff return, was quickly answered by Baltimore on an 84-yard touchdown return on the ensuing kickoff. The Giants became the first team since the [[1988 Cincinnati Bengals season|Cincinnati Bengals]] in [[Super Bowl XXIII]] not to score an offensive touchdown and the fifth overall. This was the fourth Super Bowl where the winning team outscored the losing team in all four quarters. Baltimore linebacker [[Ray Lewis]], who made three solo tackles, two assists, and blocked four passes, was named [[Super Bowl MVP]].

Counting the [[1958 NFL Championship Game|1958]] and [[1959 NFL Championship Game]]s, this was the fourth title game that involved teams from Baltimore and New York, and the first such matchup since [[Super Bowl III]], in which the [[New York Jets]] defeated the [[Indianapolis Colts|Baltimore Colts]]. A team from [[Baltimore]] had not won a Super Bowl since [[Super Bowl V|the Colts' victory]] in 1971.

==Background==
===Host selection process===
NFL owners awarded Super Bowl XXXV to Tampa during their October 31, 1996, meeting in [[New Orleans]]. A total of five cities submitted bids: [[Miami]] ([[Hard Rock Stadium|Joe Robbie Stadium]]), [[Atlanta]] ([[Georgia Dome]]), [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]] ([[Raymond James Stadium]]), [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]]/[[Tempe, Arizona|Tempe]] ([[Sun Devil Stadium]]), and [[Los Angeles]] ([[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum|Coliseum]]). The Los Angeles host committee originally was going to partner with [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]] ([[Rose Bowl (stadium)|Rose Bowl]]),<ref name="KennJ09-01-1996pg25">{{cite news|title=Los Angeles puts in bid to host Super Bowl|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/kennebec-journal/152268938/|newspaper=[[Orlando Sentinel]]|first=Patrick|last=McGreevy|page=25|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=September 1, 1996|access-date=July 29, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref> but switched their plans to the Coliseum after a renovation plan was announced.<ref name="LAT10-13-1996pg373">{{cite news|title=L.A.

Tampa became a favorite after voters passed a ballot measure in September 1996 to fund the construction of a new stadium.<ref name="STT09-05-1996pg35">{{cite news|title=Tampa Bay steps up its big-games hunt (Part 1)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times/152264948/|newspaper=St. Petersburg Times|first=John|last=Romano|page=35|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=September 5, 1996|access-date=July 29, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref><ref name="STT09-05-1996pg42">{{cite news|title=Tampa Bay steps up its big-games hunt (Part 2)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times/152265169/|newspaper=St. Petersburg Times|first=John|last=Romano|page=42|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=September 5, 1996|access-date=July 29, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref> NFL [[Commissioner of the National Football League|commissioner]] [[Paul Tagliabue]] threw his support behind Tampa based on the new stadium plans.<ref name="tamtrib03-19-1996pg19">{{cite news|title=Veterans to miss Dungy's 1st minicamp|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/152268019/|newspaper=The Tampa Tribune|first=Nick|last=Pugliese|page=19|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=March 19, 1996|access-date=July 29, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref> Owners initially planned on selecting only two hosts (XXXIII and XXXIV), but decided to name three after strong showings by the respective delegations.

The Tampa contingent expected to win the vote for [[Super Bowl XXXIV|XXXIV]], but unexpectedly lost out to Atlanta. The [[Georgia Dome]] garnered a sympathy vote as [[Atlanta Falcons|Falcons]] owner [[Rankin M. Smith Sr.|Rankin Smith]] was terminally ill.<ref name="ttrib07-09-2000pg41">{{cite news|title=Signed, sealed, and delivered|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/163185405/|newspaper=The Tampa Tribune|first=Carter|last=Gaddis|page=41|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=July 9, 2000|access-date=January 27, 2025}}{{Open access}}</ref> Due to logistical conflicts, Atlanta would not be able to host the Super Bowl again until 2005, and some NFL owners desired to award the game to the city before Smith died.

===Baltimore Ravens===
{{main|2000 Baltimore Ravens season}}

The Ravens entered the game with the second-best defense in allowing yards in the league, with the fewest points allowed (165) and the fewest rushing yards allowed (970) during the regular season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2000 NFL Opposition & Defensive Statistics |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2000/opp.htm |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> At the time, they were the only team to hold the opposition to under 1,000 yards rushing in a season since the NFL adopted a 16-game schedule in 1978.  Baltimore's 165 points allowed broke the record set by the [[1986 Chicago Bears season|1986 Chicago Bears]], who had given up 187 points. The Ravens' defense had held their opponents to ten or fewer points in eleven games, including four shutouts.

The defense was led by a trio of outstanding linebackers: [[Peter Boulware]], [[Jamie Sharper]], and [[Ray Lewis]]. During the regular season, Boulware recorded 7 sacks, while Sharper forced five fumbles and made one interception. Lewis was named the [[NFL Defensive Player of the Year]] by recording three sacks, making 138 tackles, and intercepting two passes. Pro Bowl defensive tackle [[Sam Adams (American football)|Sam Adams]] and veteran [[Tony Siragusa]] anchored the defensive line, along with defensive ends [[Rob Burnett (American football)|Rob Burnett]] (10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and five fumble recoveries) and Pro Bowler [[Michael McCrary]] (6.5 sacks and three fumble recoveries). Baltimore also had an outstanding corps of defensive backs led by Pro Bowl veteran safety [[Rod Woodson]], who along with [[Kim Herring]], [[Duane Starks]], and [[Chris McAlister]] combined for 17 interceptions.

On offense, the Ravens' main strength was rushing, led by rookie [[Jamal Lewis (American football)|Jamal Lewis]] (1,364 yards, six rushing touchdowns, 27 receptions, 298 yards) and [[Priest Holmes]] (588 yards, 32 receptions, 221 yards). Also, tight end [[Shannon Sharpe]] recorded 67 receptions for 810 yards and five touchdowns.  Receiver [[Qadry Ismail]] added 49 receptions for 655 yards and four touchdowns.  The offensive line was anchored by tackle [[Jonathan Ogden]], who was named to the [[Pro Bowl]] for the fourth consecutive season.  On special teams, [[Jermaine Lewis (American football, born 1974)|Jermaine Lewis]] ranked second in the NFL with 36 punt returns for 578 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching nineteen passes for 161 yards and another score.  Kicker [[Matt Stover]] led the NFL in field goals made (35) and attempted (39), while ranking seventh in field goal percentage (89.7) and second in scoring (135 points).

However, the Baltimore offense was mediocre, ranking only thirteenth in the league in scoring (333 points), sixteenth in total yards (5,301), and 23rd in passing yards (3,102). The team had a lot of trouble scoring, and at one point they went through five games without scoring an offensive touchdown (although they managed to win two of those games). But they managed to regroup, as head coach [[Brian Billick]] forbade anyone to use the "P-word" (presumably "postseason" or "playoffs") until the team actually played in it. The Ravens' outspoken defensive lineman, Tony Siragusa, did utter the word "playoffs" on two occasions and was fined $500. Since the fine (and Billick's ban) were clearly symbolic and playful, Billick explained himself by saying, "He got a $400 fine for doing it on national television and $100 for doing it on his radio show. The reason being because no one listens to his show anyway." In place of the "P-word", the word "[[Festivus]]" was used, the December 23 [[secular holiday]] featured in an [[The Strike (Seinfeld)|episode]] of the popular American television [[situation comedy|sitcom]] ''[[Seinfeld]]'' (the Ravens organization played along with this theme for that year's playoffs by showing a clip of [[Cosmo Kramer]] saying "A Festivus miracle!" on the stadium screen during the team's only home playoff game that year).  The Super Bowl was thereafter referred to as "Festivus Maximus."

Midway through the season, with the team at 5–3, Billick benched starting quarterback [[Tony Banks (American football)|Tony Banks]] and replaced him with [[Trent Dilfer]]. Although his statistics were hardly distinguished (twelve touchdowns, eleven interceptions, 76.6 passer rating), and the team lost in his first game as a starter, Dilfer led them to victory in their last seven regular season games to finish in second place in the [[AFC Central]] with a 12–4 record and entered the playoffs as a [[wild card (sports)|wild-card]] team.

===New York Giants===
{{main|2000 New York Giants season}}

The Giants advanced to Super Bowl XXXV after posting a 7–9 record in the previous year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1999 New York Giants Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/1999.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=1999 New York Giants Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/1999_draft.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> Their big draft acquisition during the off-season was [[running back]] [[Ron Dayne]], the [[1999 NCAA Division I-A football season|1999]] [[Heisman Trophy]] winner.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1999 Heisman Trophy Voting |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/awards/heisman-1999.html |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=College Football at Sports-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> The plan was to have his power running style complement running back [[Tiki Barber]]'s speed and pass-catching ability. The two would be called the Giants' "Thunder and Lightning" backfield. Although Dayne had a solid rookie year by rushing for 770 yards,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ron Dayne 2000 Game Log |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaynRo00/gamelog/2000/ |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> the breakout star during the regular season was Barber. Barber had 1,006 rushing yards in 213 attempts, caught seventy passes for 719 yards, and scored ten touchdowns. He also returned 44 punts for 506 yards and gained 266 yards returning kickoffs, giving him 2,495 total yards.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tiki Barber 2000 Game Log |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BarbTi00/gamelog/2000/ |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref>

[[Kerry Collins]] entered the season as the Giants' unquestioned starting quarterback. Although he helped lead the [[1996 Carolina Panthers season|Carolina Panthers]] to the [[1996–97 NFL playoffs|1996 NFC Championship Game]], he endured a mediocre season in [[1997 Carolina Panthers season|1997]].  In [[1998 Carolina Panthers season|1998]], he quit part way through the season after the team opened the campaign with a four-game losing streak. After spending the remainder of the 1998 season with the [[1998 New Orleans Saints season|New Orleans Saints]], Collins was signed in 1999 as the Giants' second-string quarterback, but soon claimed the starting job. In leading the Giants to Super Bowl XXXV, Collins completed 311 out of 529 passes for 3,610 yards and 22 touchdowns during the regular season.  His favorite targets, in addition to Barber, were wide receivers [[Amani Toomer]] (78 receptions, 1,094 yards, seven touchdowns), and [[Ike Hilliard]] (55 receptions, 787 yards, eight touchdowns), along with fullback [[Greg Comella]] (36 receptions for 274 yards).  The Giants offensive line featured guard [[Ron Stone (American football)|Ron Stone]], the team's only Pro Bowl selection from the offense.

The Giants also had a powerful defense, led by Pro Bowl defensive end [[Michael Strahan]], who recorded 9.5 sacks, and defensive tackle [[Keith Hamilton (American football)|Keith Hamilton]] who recorded ten. Defensive backs [[Jason Sehorn]], [[Emmanuel McDaniel]], [[Reggie Stephens (cornerback)|Reggie Stephens]], and [[Shaun Williams (American football)|Shaun Williams]] combined for fourteen interceptions.  Pro Bowl linebacker [[Jesse Armstead]] led the team in total tackles with 102, while also recording five sacks and an interception.

The Giants lost just four games that season, having won six of their first eight games before a subsequent two-game losing streak put them at 7–4 with five games to go. In what would be his defining moment, head coach [[Jim Fassel]], at a press conference following the Giants' loss to the [[2000 Detroit Lions season|Detroit Lions]], guaranteed that his team would make the playoffs. The Giants responded by winning their last five regular season games to reach 12–4 and win the [[NFC East]] for the first time in three years.

===Playoffs===
{{further|2000–01 NFL playoffs}}

With an explosive defense and a "play-it-safe" offense, the Ravens became the seventh wild-card team to reach the Super Bowl, and third in four seasons, after allowing only a combined one touchdown and three field goals in their playoff wins over the [[2000 Denver Broncos season|Denver Broncos]], 21–3, then their [[Ravens–Titans rivalry|rivals]], [[2000 Tennessee Titans season|Tennessee Titans]], 24–10, and the [[2000 Oakland Raiders season|Oakland Raiders]], 16–3.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wild Card - Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens - December 31st, 2000 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200012310rav.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Divisional Round - Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans - January 7th, 2001 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101070oti.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=AFC Championship - Baltimore Ravens at Oakland Raiders - January 14th, 2001 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101140rai.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> Meanwhile, the Giants defeated their [[Eagles–Giants rivalry|rivals]], the [[2000 Philadelphia Eagles season|Philadelphia Eagles]], 20–10, and shut out the [[2000 Minnesota Vikings season|Minnesota Vikings]], 41–0, the most lopsided game in NFC Championship game history.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Divisional Round - Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants - January 7th, 2001 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101070nyg.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=NFC Championship - Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants - January 14th, 2001 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101140nyg.htm |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref>

===Pre-game news===
Officially, the win made the Ravens the quickest [[expansion team]] in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. The Ravens were established when the [[Cleveland Browns relocation controversy|Cleveland Browns relocated to Baltimore]]. Although much like the [[1950 Cleveland Browns season|1950 Browns]] winning the [[1950 NFL Championship Game|NFL Championship]] in their first season in the NFL after coming over from the [[All-America Football Conference]], the Ravens were not an expansion team in the traditional sense of the term that started out as a completely brand new organization, coaching staff and players from scratch.

The Giants, as the designated home team, wore blue jerseys with grey pants. The team had previously worn blue jerseys with white pants in their two prior Super Bowl victories, but before the 2000 season, they replaced the [[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]]-era uniforms with a modern version of their early 1960s set. The Ravens donned all-white uniforms for the game.

==Broadcasting==
[[File:SuperBowlXXXVBroadcastCompound.jpg|thumb|The broadcasting compound at Super Bowl XXXV]]
The game was broadcast in the United States by [[NFL on CBS|CBS]]. It was CBS's first Super Bowl since [[Super Bowl XXVI]] in January 1992. Following the [[1993 NFL season|1993]] season, [[NFL on Fox|Fox]] bought the rights to air the [[National Football Conference|NFC]] package, leaving CBS without the NFL for the next four years until [[1998 NFL season|1998]], when they began broadcasting the [[American Football Conference|AFC]] package.

[[Play-by-play|Play-by-play announcer]] [[Greg Gumbel]] became the first [[African-American]] announcer to call a major sports championship on network television. Gumbel also became the third person to both host a Super Bowl pregame show and call the game, joining [[Dick Enberg]] and [[Al Michaels]]. Gumbel was the host during his first stint with CBS for [[Super Bowl XXVI]], and he was the pregame host for Super Bowls [[Super Bowl XXX|XXX]] and [[Super Bowl XXXII|XXXII]] when he was with [[NFL on NBC|NBC]].

Gumbel was joined in the broadcast booth by [[color commentator]] [[Phil Simms]]. [[Armen Keteyian]] and [[Bonnie Bernstein]] served as [[sideline reporter]]s. [[Jim Nantz]] hosted all the events with help from his then-fellow cast members from ''[[The NFL Today]]'': [[Mike Ditka]], [[Craig James (running back)|Craig James]], [[Randy Cross]], and [[Jerry Glanville]]. The studio set was placed aboard the famous ''Buccaneer Cove'' pirate ship at the end zone of Raymond James Stadium.

The broadcast featured the brand-new EyeVision instant-replay system, which provided rapid-fire sequential shots from a series of cameras positioned around the top of the stadium. It allowed for [[bullet time]] effects, similar to those used in the movie ''[[The Matrix]]''. It was extremely unusual for CBS to debut a major new technology system at an event the size of the Super Bowl.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite web   | last =   Shortal | first =  Helen  | title = Game Show: Life, Death, and Super Bowl XXXV Through the TV Eye   | work = [[Baltimore City Paper]]  | date = February 7, 2001   | url = http://www2.citypaper.com/arts/story.asp?id=3520 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103172253/http://www2.citypaper.com/arts/story.asp?id=3520 |archive-date=November 3, 2013 |access-date = January 26, 2016}}</ref> The EyeVision system proved its mettle when it helped to uphold a replay challenge on a [[Jamal Lewis (American football)|Jamal Lewis]] 4th-quarter [[touchdown]].

CBS also produced a separate [[HDTV]] broadcast of the game in the [[1080i]] format,<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cbs-and-rca-join-forces-to-present-super-bowl-xxxv-and-afc-playoffs-in-hdtv-72901732.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304220846/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cbs-and-rca-join-forces-to-present-super-bowl-xxxv-and-afc-playoffs-in-hdtv-72901732.html |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |title=CBS and RCA Join Forces To Present Super Bowl XXXV and AFC Playoffs in HDTV |publisher=Thomson Multimedia |via=PRNewswire.com |date=August 17, 2000}}</ref> with [[Kevin Harlan]] and [[Daryl Johnston]] announcing.

Before the game, a pregame show titled "Life's Super in Central Florida" was held, featuring [[Sting (musician)|Sting]], [[Styx (band)|Styx]], and [[P.Y.T. (band)|PYT]].  The show was directed and choreographed by Lesslee Fitzmorris from Covington, Louisiana.

To honor the 225th anniversary of the birth of the United States, singer [[Ray Charles]] performed "America the Beautiful". The song was signed (ASL) by Tom Cooney. To honor the 10th anniversary of the [[Gulf War|Persian Gulf War]], 10 military veterans from the conflict including former general [[Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.|Norman Schwarzkopf]] were introduced on the field. The [[vocal group]] (and Florida natives) [[Backstreet Boys]] then sang the national anthem becoming the only boyband to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

The [[coin flipping|coin toss]] ceremony honored the two previous Super Bowls that were played in Tampa. Representing the [[New York Giants]]' win in [[Super Bowl XXV]] was the game's MVP, [[Ottis Anderson]], and former head coach [[Bill Parcells]] (coincidentally, tight end [[Howard Cross]] was the only Giants player on the 1990 team that was still active). Representing the [[Los Angeles Raiders]]' win in [[Super Bowl XVIII]] was that game's MVP, [[Marcus Allen]], and former head coach [[Tom Flores]].

This was the last Super Bowl to have individual player introductions for both teams (both the Ravens' and Giants' defenses were announced). In [[Super Bowl XXXVI]], the New England Patriots bucked this trend and were introduced all at once as a team; the Rams, however, still used individual player introductions in that game. Starting with [[Super Bowl XXXVII]], the league decided to have both participating teams introduced collectively as teams, instead of introducing them individually by player.

===Halftime show===
{{main|Super Bowl XXXV halftime show}}
The halftime show was produced by [[MTV]], then a sister network of CBS before the re-merger. The show was titled, "The Kings of Rock and Pop".<ref name="detroitnews">{{cite web |last1=Graham |first1=Adam |title=Adam Graham: In 2001, *NSYNC, Britney Super Bowl halftime show rocked |url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/2016/02/05/adam-graham-nsync-britney-super-bowl-halftime-rocked-socks/79902652/ |publisher=Detroit News |access-date=14 February 2020 |language=en |date=5 February 2016}}</ref> It was headlined by [[Aerosmith]] and [['N Sync]], and also featured appearances from [[Britney Spears]], [[Nelly]], [[Mary J. Blige]], and Tremors featuring The Earthquake Horns. The show featured a back-and-forth medley between Aerosmith and 'N Sync.

===Community events===
The city of Tampa moved its annual [[Gasparilla Pirate Festival]] from its usual date in early February to the Saturday before the game. It was the largest Gasparilla in history, with over 750,000 attending.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sptimes.com/News/012801/SuperBowl2001/Gasparilla_Supersized.shtml|title=Superbowl2001: Gasparilla Supersized|website=www.sptimes.com}}</ref>

==Game summary==
[[File:SuperBowlXXXVEndzoneView.jpg|thumb|A view of the endzone from the press box.]]

===First quarter===
Both defenses dominated early in the first quarter as the first five possessions of the game ended in punts. On the fifth punt, Ravens wide receiver [[Jermaine Lewis (American football, born 1974)|Jermaine Lewis]] returned the ball 43 yards to the New York 22-yard line. Although a holding penalty on Ravens cornerback [[Corey Harris (American football, born 1969)|Corey Harris]] during the return moved the ball back to the 41-yard line, Baltimore took only two plays to take an early 7–0 lead. First, running back [[Jamal Lewis (American football)|Jamal Lewis]] picked up 3 yards, then quarterback [[Trent Dilfer]] completed a 38-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver [[Brandon Stokley]].

===Second quarter===
After the teams exchanged punts three times each going into the second quarter, New York advanced to midfield, only to lose the ball when quarterback [[Kerry Collins]] threw a pass that was deflected by linebacker [[Ray Lewis]] and intercepted by linebacker [[Jamie Sharper]]. Then on the next play, a holding penalty against defensive tackle [[Keith Hamilton (American football)|Keith Hamilton]] nullified linebacker [[Jessie Armstead]]'s 43-yard interception return for a touchdown that could have tied the game. After the teams exchanged punts again, Dilfer completed a 44-yard pass to wide receiver [[Qadry Ismail]] to set up a 47-yard field goal by Ravens kicker [[Matt Stover]] to extend Baltimore's lead to 10–0. Aided by a face-mask penalty against Ravens linebacker [[Brad Jackson]], a 16-yard completion from Collins to wide receiver [[Ron Dixon (American football)|Ron Dixon]], and a 27-yard run by running back [[Tiki Barber]], the Giants advanced all the way to the Baltimore 29-yard line on their ensuing drive, but cornerback [[Chris McAlister]] intercepted Collins' pass intended for wide receiver [[Ike Hilliard]] at the 1-yard line to keep New York scoreless at halftime.

===Third quarter===
The Giants forced the Ravens to punt on the opening drive of the second half. Five plays later, Ravens safety [[Kim Herring]] intercepted a pass intended for Hilliard at the New York 41-yard line. The Ravens then advanced to the 24-yard line, but Stover missed a 41-yard field goal attempt wide left.

After another exchange of punts, Ravens cornerback [[Duane Starks]] intercepted a pass intended for wide receiver [[Amani Toomer]] and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown, setting off a chain of events never seen before in Super Bowl history: three touchdowns on three consecutive plays in 36 seconds. On the ensuing kickoff, Dixon returned the ball 97 yards for the Giants' only score of the game to cut their deficit to 17–7. But Jermaine Lewis returned the next kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown of his own, making the score 24–7 in favor of the Ravens and essentially putting the game away. It was the first time in history two kickoffs were returned for touchdowns in the same Super Bowl game, and on back-to-back kickoffs.

===Fourth quarter===
New York gained only one first down on their final four possessions and were never able to move the ball into Baltimore territory. Meanwhile, the Ravens added 10 more points to their lead, making the final score 34–7. Three possessions after Jermaine Lewis' touchdown, going into the fourth quarter, Giants punter [[Brad Maynard]]'s 34-yard punt from his own 4-yard line to the 38-yard line and tight end [[Ben Coates]]' 17-yard reception from Dilfer set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Jamal Lewis. The Giants challenged the call, as Lewis appeared to fumble the ball out of the end zone for a touchback while being tackled by linebacker [[Micheal Barrow]] and defensive tackle [[Cornelius Griffin]], but the officials determined that Lewis had stretched the ball across the goal line before he lost it, therefore confirming the score. Dixon returned the ensuing kickoff 25 yards, but he was stripped of the ball by cornerback [[James Trapp]], and cornerback [[Robert Bailey (American football)|Robert Bailey]] recovered the fumble, setting up Stover's 34-yard field goal with 5:27 left in the game. The next two possessions ended in punts, and New York advanced to their own 49-yard line before the game ended.

===Statistical overview===
Dilfer threw for 153 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions. Jamal Lewis rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown (only the second rookie to rush for 100 yards in the Super Bowl, joining [[Timmy Smith]] in [[Super Bowl XXII]], while also being the first rookie to score a rushing touchdown in a Super Bowl since Smith in 1988), and caught a pass for four yards. Stokley was the top receiver of the game with three receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. Jermaine Lewis recorded 152 total all-purpose yards (111 kickoff return yards, 34 punt return yards, seven receiving yards, one rushing yard) and a touchdown.

Collins had a passer rating for the game of only 7.1, the second worst in Super Bowl history,<ref name="Worse Super Bowl than Peyton Manning in XLVIII">{{Cite web |last=Canzano  |first=John |date=2014-02-03 |title=Who had a worse Super Bowl than Peyton Manning?

Barber was the Giants' leading rusher with 49 yards, also catching six passes for 26 yards and returning two punts for thirteen yards, while Dixon tallied six kickoffs for 154 yards and a touchdown with a sixteen-yard pass catch. While Giants punter [[Brad Maynard]] set an undesirable Super Bowl record with eleven punts, Baltimore punter [[Kyle Richardson]] nearly matched him with ten punts.

Overall, both teams combined for only 396 total yards, the lowest in Super Bowl history. The Ravens joined [[Super Bowl XVIII]]'s [[Los Angeles Raiders]] in the record books as the only teams to score offensive, defensive and special teams touchdowns in the same Super Bowl. The third team to do the same were the [[Seattle Seahawks]] in [[Super Bowl XLVIII]]. Super Bowl XXXV was the second Super Bowl since 1975 in which the losing team failed to score at least ten points, after Super Bowl XVIII.

All the main contributors for the Ravens on offense, defense, and special teams were named [[Lewis (surname)|Lewis]]. Linebacker [[Ray Lewis]], a native of [[Lakeland, Florida]], less than an hour from Super Bowl host city [[Tampa]], who made three solo tackles, two assists, and blocked four passes, became the second linebacker to be named [[Super Bowl MVP]] after [[Chuck Howley]] in [[Super Bowl V]]. Lewis also became the first defensive player to be honored since [[Larry Brown (cornerback)|Larry Brown]] in [[Super Bowl XXX]], and at the time the seventh defensive player to be Super Bowl MVP, joining Howley, [[Jake Scott]], [[Harvey Martin]], [[Randy White (American football)|Randy White]], [[Richard Dent]], and Brown (since Lewis, only three additional defensive players have been named Super Bowl MVP: [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] safety [[Dexter Jackson (safety)|Dexter Jackson]] in [[Super Bowl XXXVII]], [[Seattle Seahawks]] linebacker [[Malcolm Smith (American football)|Malcolm Smith]] in [[Super Bowl XLVIII]], and [[Denver Broncos]] linebacker [[Von Miller]] in [[Super Bowl 50]]). Despite being named the game's Most Valuable Player, Lewis did not go to Walt Disney World because of an investigation during the previous year. Quarterback Trent Dilfer went in his place.

Jamal Lewis was the top rusher of the game, Jermaine Lewis notched 145 yards and a touchdown on special teams. In addition, the Ravens defense was coached by [[Marvin Lewis]]. The Ravens defense has since been considered among the greatest of all time.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/page2/s/list/bestNFLdefense.html 	The List: Best NFL defense of all-time] ESPN.  July 7, 2007.  Accessed on January 21, 2009.</ref> The Ravens defense became the third to shut-out their opponent in Super Bowl history; the Giants' only points came on a kickoff return. Washington in [[Super Bowl VII]] scored against Miami only after the late fumble by [[Garo Yepremian]], which was returned for a touchdown.  The only points Pittsburgh allowed to Minnesota in [[Super Bowl IX]] came on the return of a blocked punt.

The [[New York Giants]] started a trend of seven different NFC Champions in seven years.  The Giants would return to the Super Bowl in 2007 and again in 2011 defeating the [[New England Patriots]] on both occasions, ending the current trend at the time, but starting a new one.  Beginning with the 2001 [[St. Louis Rams]], who played in [[Super Bowl XXXVI]], there were ten different NFC Champions in ten years.  Once again, the Giants ended the trend and started another one.  Beginning with the 2008 [[Super Bowl XLIII]] participant [[Arizona Cardinals]], there were six different NFC Champions in six years. This streak was finally ended by the [[Seattle Seahawks]], who advanced to the Super Bowl in both 2013 and 2014.

The [[Baltimore Ravens]] would later win [[Super Bowl XLVII]] in 2013 against the [[2012 San Francisco 49ers season|San Francisco 49ers]] (which was also aired on CBS). Ray Lewis was a member of both Ravens' Super Bowl wins. In between the Ravens' victories, the [[Indianapolis Colts]], the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], and the Patriots would have a Super Bowl appearance more than once, with New England and Pittsburgh winning more than once. The only other AFC team to make the Super Bowl in that stretch were the [[Oakland Raiders]], in [[Super Bowl XXXVII]].

Had the Giants won, it would have marked the first year since 1989 that a Super Bowl and World Series champion came from the same metropolitan area. The [[New York Yankees]] won the [[2000 World Series|World Series]] during the Giants' season. Including the [[New Jersey Devils]]' win in the [[2000 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]] and the [[New York Mets]]' runner-up finish to the [[Mets–Yankees rivalry|rival]] Yankees, there were four teams from the [[New York metropolitan area]] that made the championship round of their respective leagues in the same year.

==Surveillance==
The [[American Civil Liberties Union]] criticized a test of a system used at the event to monitor the people in attendance. A group of four companies installed a [[face recognition]] system to scan the faces of fans entering the stadium and compare them with a database of criminals. Attendees were not told that they were subject to this [[surveillance]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=McCullagh |first=Declan |date=February 2, 2000 |title=Call It Super Bowl Face Scan I |url=https://www.wired.com/2001/02/call-it-super-bowl-face-scan-i/ |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=Wired |language=en-US}}</ref> Tampa police reported that the system identified nineteen criminals, but due to complaints and trouble with [[false positive]] results, it was not re-used the next year.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dotinga |first=Randy |date=December 31, 2002 |title=Biometrics Benched for Super Bowl |url=https://www.wired.com/2002/12/biometrics-benched-for-super-bowl/ |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=Wired |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Super Bowl XXXVI]] and all subsequent Super Bowls have been designated as a [[National Special Security Event]], qualifying for extra security detail from the [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]].
