With so much on the line, improbable odds, converting 3 2-pt conversions, the D finding themsleves when they absolutely had to, the O finally figuring out how to play again...yea, I concur.
And down Colby, E-man, and Riq on defense. Next man up, and as a unit they kept fighting. A sign a stellar leadership and team unity. They never folded when things got tough. Proud of them.

Only game I can think of is "U mad bro" 2012 Patriots game which had a similar come from behind win energy against a top top team.

But stakes were higher here and December games always mean more than September games.
I am still shook on the intentional grounding calls against Tom Brady which I believe was from that game

Considering the potential impact, not just for the teams playing, but others also. Considering the time of year (Dec games). Considering the rivalry. Considering the consequences (#1 seed on the line) Considering QB storylines. Considering how the whole thing played out.....I'm giving it a 5 out of 5 pucker factor and for me easily the greatest reg. season game. And thats coming from a guy that is usually "in the end, its just a game" kind of guy.

For those who remember, maybe finally revenge for that 2004 home game OT loss vs the Rams.

That's a great call.

Could also think of the Cowboys game in Week 2 of that year, widely considered the Legion of Boom's "first notice" game and the first big wave of the "alligator arms" epidemic that Kam Chancellor was about to unleash upon the league. Two big special teams miscues by the Cowboys leading to ten points for the Hawks. That's what gave us this gem, which I will never stop linking:
