It is steeped in the history of the team. From jump. Cook's injury. The TOs and goal line failure vs SF. Krumrie's leg, Wilson's crack, Billups' drop, and Montana's drive in the rematch.
There have peen particularly painful one's vs Pitts. Carson's leg. Dalton's thumb. And the colossal 2015 playoff meltdown.
IIRC, we have not swept them since 2009. This would be a most pleasant 3 in a row. And essentially give us a 2 game cushion over them with 6 to play. Gonna be tougher this time with Watt back, however.
Yep. It's games like these that either chip away at the 'fall-on-your-face' narrative, or continue to build on it. All the pretty talk and all the pretty articles don't amount to much until these games get won more consistently.
