For me it was when Graham Stewart ran down the Army QB who was on his way to a TD. (Doesn't matter that the play was thankfully negated by an Army holding penalty.) The Army QB broke clear and was absolutely going to score and make things dicey for us. But Stewart never gave up and the big, tough LB showed not only impressive closing speed but a relentless desire to make the stop. If you missed it, watch it on replay and you'll see what I mean. That play also tells us a lot about this team's attitude toward finishing. In practice, Diaco keeps track of "loafing plays" where receivers don't finish their routes and defensive players stop their pursuit. Attention to that detail is clearly paying off.
