Super Bowl XXXVIII
New England Patriots defeated Carolina Panthers 32-29
The furor over Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” at halftime overshadowed a thriller that started slowly.
After a record 25 minutes and 55 seconds of scoreless play, the two teams exchanged 24 points in the final 3:05 of the second quarter, with the Patriots grabbing a 14-10 lead.
By the fourth quarter, the score was tied at 29. The contest wasn’t settled until there were four ticks left on the clock.
Adam Vinatieri’s 41-yard field goal gave the Patriots their second championship in three seasons.
