Tennessee opened the playoffs at home against the Buffalo Bills in a Wild Card game, winning on the "Music City Miracle" and eventually advancing to Super Bowl XXXIV in a re-match with the Rams. On the final play of the game, a Steve McNair pass to Kevin Dyson was complete, but Dyson was unable to break the plane of the goal line, giving the Rams the win. McNair signed a new six-year contract after the 1999 season worth $47 million. After thirteen seasons in the NFL, McNair announced his retirement in April 2008. On July 4, 2009, McNair was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in Nashville, Tennessee. Steve McNair has hand signed this Nike Collegiate Full Size Football with To Layne inscription w/ #9.
