Okay, Mani, I know you need about 0.5 seconds to think about your most interesting

0:11.3

Rogers versus Vikings moments, but I give you about a minute there. So what do you got?

0:16.6

Well, I brought up 2012 already. That's kind of the one that stands out to me the most because that felt like that

0:23.3

week's 17 game at the Metro Dome felt like it felt like a playoff.
