Hey there's more to life than reacting to the latest hater article, and if ever there was a hater article, it's this ESPN one about supposed events > 10 years old.
The Rams/Patriots super bowl was 14 years ago. Their claim was that the Patriots beat them by illegally learning their red zone offensive plan for the SB. In the actual game, the Rams got in the red zone once and scored a TD. But that won't stop Martz & that loser Marshall Faulk from crying, and ESPN from using it as a grave example of cheating.
You wish that was all there was to it but everyone knows there was much more cheating than that. No team goes into the Super Bowl planning to not play by the rules. But the Cheatriots did. You can do that when the Head Referee is in your pocket. Rams WRs constantly mugged. Warner knocked stupid after a hit to the face. Intentional grounding not called. All the Cheatriots could do in the second half was score two FGs the last of which at the end of the game on a drive in which Shady Brady CLEARLY COMMITTED INTENTIONAL GROUNDING that would have ended that drive.

After the FG the officials ran all the time off the clock to deny the Rams even getting a chance to touch the ball.
Who was the official responsible for assuring a Cheatriots victory? None other than Head Referee Bernie Kukar. Scroll ahead to 3:35 to see Faulk get blatantly held then watch Kukar try to talk the other officials to pick up the penalty flag. Then watch Warner get hit in the face on an INT returned for a TD and no flag from Kukar. Of course earlier in the game on a Rams fumble recovered by the Cheatriots Kukar picked up the flag against the Cheatriots. Then with time running out Kukar stops the clock when the Cheatriot RB was tackled in bounds. Nice body of work there Bernie.
