The run against the Vikings and to a lesser extent the Chargers TDs were huge, to be sure (I don't think a back can run any harder than he ran against the Chargers in week 17 - he was a ****ing load, man).
I remember the energy in the stadium in that Vikings game. 3 straight home losses, PM was hurt and that game had just turned into a slog where they just couldn't seem to find a working gear anywhere. Chiefs start the half punt/fumble and it looked for all the world like a 31-20 sort of game. The Vikings seemed right on the edge of getting a back-breaking score and the Chiefs offense was just teetering. Apart from the Hill TD, there had been nothing and you could feel the anxiety in the crowd.
Then Williams put Harrison Smith in a body bag and everything changed. And frankly, despite the bizarre Titans loss, that Vikings game did so much for the team that it really was a turning point for the season even if the winning streak didn't really start until the Chargers game. They so thoroughly dominated TN and needed so much crazy shit to happen to lose that you still felt like they'd gotten things back online after the Vikes win.
Williams was MASSIVE last year and people try to build up the CEH pick by undermining Williams contributions. I just don't think that's fair to the guy.
