Ahmad Brooks’ TD interception return was the most important takeaway of 2012. By covering the 49ers’ seven point deficit, it protected young Colin Kaepernick from the tendancy to ‘press’ in order to catch up to the Saints. The season might have proceeded very differently had Kaepernick been forced to lead his offense to outscore the Saints’ offense. Thanks to the first of two uncharacteristic Brees pick-sixes, Kaepernick looked great without having to play at the level Drew Brees usually plays at.

Best takeaway of the year was Patrick Willis stripping the Bills TE right before halftime. Dude is so strong he basically tackled him from behind while also pulling the guys arms straight down. Shows why Patrick Willis is dominant. Very next play Alex Smith dropped it in the corner of the end zone from 30 yards out.

Why don’t they have the Donte Whitner interception agaisnt the Saints? The one where Colston jumps up for the grab and gets his legs taken out by Dashon Goldson? That was an awesome takeaway
