DENVER -- Kurt Warner couldn't shake it all offseason.

Television, radio, newspapers, magazines and even fans -- no one would let Warner forget that New England won the Super Bowl and not St. Louis.

"You go to different award shows in the offseason and kind of put it behind you at that point, but then it pops up where they show the kick or talk about the last season," Warner said. "But it's behind us now and we've got to move forward."

The Rams will take that first step today against the Denver Broncos in a game featuring three of the past five Super Bowl champions.

The Rams, champions in 1999, look to get the "Greatest Show on Turf" rolling again and prove their 20-17 loss to the Patriots in the Super Bowl was a fluke.

The Broncos are hoping to find their offense again and reach the playoffs for the just the second time since winning consecutive Super Bowls in 1997 and 1998.

"This is a huge test for us at home against the best football team in the league for three years," Broncos receiver Rod Smith said. "We have our work cut out for us. But at the same time, if you want to be the best, you need to beat the best."

New England seemed to provide the blueprint for stopping the Rams in the Super Bowl, but the Broncos aren't sure it will work again.

The Patriots concentrated on stopping running back Marshall Faulk, were physical with St. Louis' receivers and got pressure on Warner without having to blitz. The Rams still finished with 427 yards, but had just three points in the first three quarters and made three turnovers.

"You're going against a team that's very well-coached, they've got some great players and they've been doing it consistently over the last three years," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said.
