That was the season Tennessee posted the NFL's best record at 13-3 and earned the AFC's No. 1 seed with home-field advantage -- just like this year. Tampa is hosting the Super Bowl, just like in 2000. And the Baltimore Ravens added to the deja vu feeling Sunday by beating Miami 27-9 to earn a trip to Music City for...
