Trust me on this, I was so mad I walked out on the Triplette call. I'd never done that before.
But on Sunday...I just wasn't within a million miles of defeat. It was surreal to me. I trusted Pat. I trusted the D. ...then it became obvious we just were NOT going to be denied.
That said, I felt like I'd had a heart attack by half time.... so much adrenaline flowing through my veins.
Just an amazing day.

My hope quotient declined to about 65% or so when we were down 24-zip. That lasted through the next commercial ... then I recovered. Like you, I recalled the Faider game.
The main thing that helped me through was the method whereby the Toxins got their points. An unusual bust by Ward, the blocked punt, and the muff by Tyreek ... those were outliers and highly rare mistakes. I chalked it up to nerves.
Once I came to my senses, I knew we had plenty of time to right the ship. But here's the main reason my mentals were actually pretty good overall; Mahomes + Wally After A Bye.
We have one of the most skilled offenses in NFL history right now. You simply can't hold them down forever.
Both on and off the field, it all boils down to mentals in the end.
