The game we destroyed the defending AFC champs on one of the first MNF games I remember seeing the Chiefs in, at an absolutely thirsty Arrowhead sticks out as my favorite. The domination on the field of a good team, it was the first time I remember thinking of the Chiefs as a team that could be the team (the beginning of a very long trudge through the wilderness). I was over the moon elated and was therefore completely destroyed when we lost to the same team in Buffalo in the divisional round.

There of course have been other great ones, but that one was so significant in my personal fanhood. I mark the Royals winning the World Series as my "awakening" to sports. The Chiefs were still very bad for several years (with a brief blip in 86) and despite the playoff season in 90, this was the first time I remember feeling like we're not just a playoff contender, we were something more.
