Damn. This makes me think a Rain Man bracket is necessary with the top vote getters in this thread getting seeded accordingly.
Interestingly, the wins @ Lions and @ Chargers are the lowest vote getters for victories, they even have fewer votes than our loss @ Tenn. The thing with both of those victories is they had all the staples of a pre-Mahomes Andy Reid loss. The offense never found its footing against an inferior team, let their opponent hang around the whole game, and in years past, this had led to some gut wrenching losses (similar to the Tenn game this year). It's interesting those wins are getting such a low number of votes with how close they ended up being (we did play poorly in major stretches in each game).

In part, it may depend on how people are defining "top games". Were they the most important wins? The most satisfying? The most fun to watch?
Some games I just don't remember very well, hence my question. I don't really remember the game flow in some of the games, though I could probably be prompted easily.
The Jaguars game was fun because it was like watching the good guys beat up a bully. I thought I'd vote for that, but it didn't quite make the cut.
The first Raiders game was fun with the 28 point second quarter that proved that the offense could score via carpet bombing, but the rest of the game wasn't ideal. I voted for it, though, because it was proof of concept that this team can come back from anything.
I don't remember the flow of the Ravens game.
I came away from the Detroit game not feeling very good, because they didn't bolster my confidence going forward. We very nearly lost, so the win was more relief than anything.
I'm not going to vote for a loss, so strike all of those.
No way I vote for the @Denver game. Kneecap. I did not feel good after that win.
The Vikings game was huge, and it showed that the game is a team sport. I think it was a very important win. But I didn't vote for it because it wasn't quite as entertaining to watch without Mahomes and with all of the o-line injuries. Great game, though.
I don't remember the flow of the @San Diangeles game.
The Raiders blowout was fun because it was a blowout, but I don't remember much about the flow.
I remember the patriots game because it a stressful game. I didn't want a loss to start any jinxes or anything. The Breeland play at the end was artistic, but that game was more about vindication than fun.
I remember the snow game against Denver, and that was great because it was a dismantling AND it proved that Patrick Mahomes II is impervious to weather, which has big postseason implications. I voted for that one.
The Bears game was a nice beatdown and I liked the Bears fans showing up with Mahomes jerseys. But it didn't quite make the cut.
The final Chargers game was great mostly because of how it went down with the Dolphins game. The Chiefs were a machine by that point, so our game wasn't that memorable, but the dual announcing at the end was epic, and the foreshadowing of Sorensen's big play greatness to finish off Rivers was grin-inducing. I voted for this one.
