ST. LOUIS (AP) — Marshall Faulk, a major component of an electric St. Louis Rams offense

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Marshall Faulk, a major component of an electric St. Louis Rams offense dubbed the Greatest Show on Turf, had his No. 28 jersey retired at halftime of Thursday night’s home finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bob Costas, the master of ceremonies, called Faulk “one of the league’s greatest running backs of all time.”

A banner with a replica of Faulk’s jersey was lowered between NFC championship banners for the 1999 and 2001 seasons that he helped bring to the city. The Rams won their only Super Bowl after the 1999 season, months after acquiring Faulk for second- and fifth-round draft picks from the Indianapolis Colts.

The Super Bowl championship banner is at the opposite end of the Edward Jones Dome.

“Thank you for what you did for St. Louis,” said former coach Dick Vermeil in one of many video testimonials played just before the ceremony and during breaks in the first half.

Faulk and Kurt Warner were the top two offensive players in the league from 1999-2001, with Faulk winning the MVP award in 2000 and named the offensive player of the year all three seasons. Warner was the NFL MVP in 1999 and 2001.
