Which is the definition of a choke. Same thing Houston did against Buffalo or Atlanta did against New England. I would not say we lost respect for them. We were just a stupid team in those years.
You choke under pressure in a tight game. You need to make a critical stop or a big play in the closing minutes and you choke. That’s my definition of a choke. The games you’re talking about, one was a playoff game and the other was a Super Bowl. Both teams relaxed having big leads and the games took a dramatic turn in the second half. The only way you can cough up big leads like that is losing your intensity and not being focused. It leads to mistakes and the loss of momentum. If you let a good NFL team off the hook they can come storming back especially in a do or die game. When you have a big lead and everything is going your way there’s no reason to choke.
