The First DEN game, because it was legendary. We go into that game having lost two in a row, the CP doom and gloom club has been rolling full-tilt about how we can't beat the Broncos because we can't stop Lindsey/Freeman and their the running game, Flacco is going to pick apart our secondary, blah blah blah. Then Pat gets hurt in the first quarter and literally 90% of CP spontaneously shits their panties. "Season over!" "Andy's an idiot!" "All is lost!" "Our tampons are overflowing with angst and bitterness because 'Chiefs!'"
Except our defense has its first good game of the season. Clark goes off. Ragland and Hitchens and Ogbah and Okafor go off. Posted 8 sacks. Stopped the Lindsey train in its tracks. Held that DEN offense everyone was so scared of to SIX POINTS. 6.
Then our HS school teacher, Matt "Midnight hour" Moore comes in and torches them. We not only win, but absolutely stomp them, 30-6.
The Vikings game for many of the same reasons listed above. "Dalvin Cook is the best RB in the game; MIN has the best running attack in the NFL (they did at the time); our 32nd-ranked defense will never able able to stop him!" Except we did, our "terrible run defense" put a strangle-hold on that running attack and our defense as a whole played one of its best games of the season. And then Moore held his own again and then we beat them off Butkicker's tremendous last second FG. Classic win for the ages.
The Patriots game, because we finally climbed that mountain and beat the Patsies fair and square. In their house. The most satisfying win of the regular season and the moment that I knew we were going to the SB.
