The passing-challenged Ravens and Bucs expect new quarterbacks Elvis Grbac and Brad Johnson to provide enough efficiency to complement sensational defenses and lift them to the Super Bowl

This season's Super Bowl matchup was decided March 2 over pizza, beer and the persistent chiming of doorbells. In Brian Billick's home, amid the chaos created by a teenage sleepover--with phones ringing and the pizza man hoping to be paid--Elvis Grbac convinced the coach of the Ravens he wanted to play in Baltimore. And that triggered an unexpected fallout among free-agent quarterbacks, ultimately propelling Brad Johnson to Tampa Bay instead of the defending NFL champions.
