I can't say it's for an individual, but
The defense in Super Bowl XVII (the Riggins run), especially the pass defense.
Miami had a 76-yard pass for a TD in the first half - and 80 net yards passing for the game.
They had 4 pass completions in the game - and 1 in the second half. (And got picked off once.)
They had 96 (net) yards running.
Excluding the pass play they had 100 net (offensive) yards.
I was watching in a neutral site (Boston). There were a lot of annoying Miami rooters there. The second half was spent just waiting to see if the Skins could overcome the big pass play and the kick return. The moment Riggins scored the Dolphins fans left. Even though the Skins were only up by 3 and there were 10 minutes left, everyone in the room knew the Dolphins wouldn't score again.
An amazing defensive show.

Great post. I was only 5 years old when that game was on, and I remember none of it. I've seen plenty of highlights, and I knew our D was great that day, but not lights out to that extent. I'll be watching that game in it's entirety as soon I can get my hands on it. God, I love me some defense!

The game I will always remember, vs Dallas two years ago.. Moss pulled two touchdowns in and upset Dallas in less 4 mins of 4th qr..
This is my most memorable game since i was there that night. Those cowGIRL fans were in shock, i lost my voice yelling. When the game ended i was going to take a picture of the stadium scoreboard but they turned it off soon as the game was over.

I have to go with Doug Williams in the SB. It was just such an ass kicking that no one expected during the first quarter.... I still get emotional watching it.
In recent memory the Dallas Monday Night game stands out... cmon that was a huge win... MNF... in dallas as they induct the triplets into their ring of fame and we're down by 13 with 4 mins to go... scoreless no less.... thats a game that was meant for all of the fans who don't turn off games...

I agree with all, but let's not forget that game against the Bears in the playoffs when Darrell Green hurdles the guy on a punt return. What a moment!!!!!

My grand father died the week of the Super Bowl against Elway. My family cancelled the Super Bowl party. I will never forget that game, it was like it was meant to be. I will always remember Doug William's second quarter. I was in the 10th grade.

I don't see how anything could top Doug Williams' Super Bowl performance especially since it was essentially one quarter of perfection and it is probably the best quarter of football by any quarterback in the history of the game. The Redskins did nothing in the first quarter and Williams gets so hurt that Schroeder had to come in for a series.
First play of the second quarter, 1st and 10 on the 20 and the rest is history. They could have put up 100 points in 3 quarters if they had wanted to.

how about Washington 26- Dallas 3. 1972 NFC championship. Kilmer to Charlie Taylor, down the sideline for about 45 yards and a touchdown
