Favorite- Donte Whitner forcing the fumble on Pierre Thomas in front of our goal line and knocking him out of the game.
Second Favorite- Justin Smith hunting down Jeremy Maclin from like 20 yards back to help us secure the (at the time) comeback/upset in Philly.
Third Favorite- Reggie Smith's diving interception he had against the Cincinnati Bengals to stop any potential game winning drive, and win the game.
(I also loved this game against the Bengals because analysts were calling it "the worst game of the year" during that time, because it was a low scoring affair with two teams they assumed were irrelevant, but it turned out to be a defensive struggle between two playoff teams. Lol)
What about you guys?

Smith on Maclin was probably the play of the year for us. That set the tone for the whole year

I like one and two, but my #3 is Justin Smith knocking down Eli's pass to beat the Giants (technically a turnover on downs, I know). That game was an epic win for us. It just gets downplayed now bc they got their revenge.

Justin Smith gets 2 of my favorite. Then the Whitner sleeper hit turnover. Goldson and Rogers each had one that I remembered.

This, but subtract Reggie Smith and give me Carlos Rogers PICK SIX vs. Tampa.
Or DaShon Goldson INT vs. New Orleans.
Or Aldon Smith's strip of Big Ben with help from Justin Smith.
TOO MANY TO NAME!!!
