From 1999 to 2001, the St. Louis Rams were known as the Greatest Show on Turf. Their offense was the best in the NFL. Quarterback Kurt Warner seemed to be nearly unstoppable. And running back Marshall Faulk was a touchdown-scoring machine. The Rams got their nickname because their home stadium had artificial grass known as AstroTurf.
