===Round six===
Entering the game as 14-point underdogs (based on betting odds), the Patriots dispensed with the traditional individual player introductions, choosing to enter the stadium as a team. The approach carried over into the game. The first Patriot score was a defensive touchdown, on an interception by [[Ty Law]]. The Patriot defense held the poorly coached Rams offense to a single field goal during the first half. The explosive Rams rebounded from a 17-3 deficit with two touchdowns, and with a mere two minutes remaining in regulation the game was tied, 17-17. Rather than running out the clock and playing for overtime, the Patriot offense launched one of its few successful scoring drives of the day, with quarterback [[Tom Brady]], the game's awarded MVP, moving the ball into range for a game-winning 48-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri that split the uprights at the exact moment that the game clock expired.

===Round fourteen===
1/19/2002: AFC: [[New England Patriots]] 16, [[Oakland Raiders]] 13 (overtime)
<!-- Please eliminate use of abbreviations for a more encyclopedic article -->
:This game, played in a heavy snowfall, will be remembered for a controversial call near the end of the game, in which the referees initially ruled that New England quarterback Tom Brady had fumbled on a pass attempt, with Oakland protecting a three-point lead. Invoking the "tuck rule", where a ball is ruled an incomplete pass after the quarterback starts any forward throwing motion, the referee overturned the decision after reviewing the [[instant replay]], calling the drop an incomplete pass rather than a fumble. The Patriots then tied the game on a 45-yard [[Adam Vinatieri]] field goal (a dramatic kick through heavy snowfall that barely cleared the crossbar) and subsequently won the game in overtime, again on a Vinatieri field goal.

<!-- Please eliminate use of abbreviations for a more encyclopedic article -->
:The matchup between two highly rated quarterbacks was won by St. Louis's [[Kurt Warner]], fresh from being named league MVP, but the real stars were the Rams' defense. Green Bay QB [[Brett Favre]] threw for 281 yards, but also a playoff record tying 6 interceptions. The visiting Packers generated most of their offense early in the game, but turnovers saw them trailing 24-10 at halftime. In the third quarter the Rams raised their game on both sides of the ball, scoring 14 unanswered points and putting the game out of sight.

:St. Louis quarterback [[Kurt Warner]] completed two-thirds of his passes for 212 yards, and [[Marshall Faulk]] ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Down 17-13 at halftime, the Rams were too much for an Eagle defense who, until this game, hadn't allowed more than 21 points per game.

*Lee Roy Selmon, Defensive End, Oklahoma -- taken 1st round, 1st overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Inducted in 1995.

Bledsoe threw for a touchdown to [[David Patten]] on his fifth play from scrimmage. A late Pittsburgh comeback was thwarted by two [[Kordell Stewart]] interceptions in the last three minutes.

The Super Bowl was originally scheduled for [[January 27]], but the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] led to the [[National Football League|NFL]] schedule being moved one week back.
 
Following Super Bowl tradition, the original logo for Super Bowl XXXVI was to have a flavor that represented the host city. A logo was designed and distributed on a very small amount of memorabilia items in early 2001. After the [[September 11th, 2001 attacks]], a new logo reflecting American pride was designed. Merchandise featuring the original logo is now considered extremely collectible.
 
The game was televised in the U.S. by [[Fox Broadcasting|Fox]] and was the last to feature the broadcast team of [[Pat Summerall]] and [[John Madden]], who had worked together since 1981.
 
The halftime show featured an incredible three-song set from Irish rockers [[U2 (band)|U2]], fresh off their successful ''Elevation'' world tour. After rousing renditions of "Beautiful Day" and "MLK", the band launched into an explosive version of "Where the Streets Have No Name," featuring two backdrops with the names of victims of the 9/11 attacks floating into the sky behind the band and [[Bono]] opening his jacket to reveal an American flag printed into the lining.
