The Seattle-Houston game was fantastic but I do think Minnesota-New Orleans is the best of all. And I'm not saying that just because of the Minnesota Miracle. The game is an instant classic from several angles. The Vikings demonstrating their greatest strengths in full in the first half, the Saints demonstrating theirs in full in the second half, a beautiful tense 4th quarter tug-of-war marked by slight lead change after slight lead change, topped off by what is unquestionably one of the greatest plays of all time & will be celebrated forever. We got nearly everything we could have asked for from that game, thank God it was as good as it was.

Why aren’t the Rams 41 at Niners 39 TNF on the list? You could make the case that was the best TNF game of the year.

This was the game I immediately noticed as missing as well, but I'm a 49ers fan, so it makes sense that I would immediately notice it missing lol.

Another game missing is Houston vs. New England (week 3). That was an awesome game...the game we all realized Watson is legit. 

I still haven't come to that conclusion lol.

Defiantly one of the best games of the year. What's crazy is that almost everyone(including myself) wrote it off beforehand because it looked like a boring match-up.

Didn't help when Hoyer basically threw a pick 6 on the first pass of the game lol.

Hoyer didn’t throw a pick 6. I think NRC got tackled short of the endzone then Gurley punched it in for one of his 3 tds. Crazy thing is Gurley should’ve had 5 tds. Also that game he got more touches than he ever got in his entire football life lol. Then after the game he joked with Michael Irving about beating up on the Cowboys the next week and people made a big deal about that.

That's what I meant by "basically" :) 

He got it down to the three yard line before as you said, Gurley punched it in.
