After the Ravens pulled ahead 17-0, Giants WR Ron Dixon returned the ball 97 yards for the Giants' first and only score of the game. But Ravens WR Jermaine Lewis returned the next kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown, marking the first time in Super Bowl history that back-to-back kickoffs were returned for touchdowns.

All 16 of the Giants' possessions ended with punts or interceptions, with the exception of the last one, which ended when time expired in the game.

Taylor showed early promise by scoring two touchdowns in the second game of his rookie season, a shootout victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he would score only 13 more TDs during his five years in Baltimore and was ultimately released after a lackluster 2004 season.
