Biggest almost-comeback

[Brian wolf]

My mistake, Brady was down with the Patriots 31-3 against the 49ers in 2012 before coming back and tying the game in the 4th quarter ... The Patriots lost 41-34.

Giants/Panthers from 2015. Giants trailed 35-7 with about 5 min to go in the 3rd...tied it but lost on a late field goal

Like someone else said, The Epic in Miami is the first to come to mind...

Also, the Fumble game....Broncos had a big lead in the first half...

Panthers were down by a fair amount against New England in the Super Bowl in the 4th quarter and tied it up....

Cardinals against the Steelers is another one in the Super Bowl....

Steelers comeback against the Packers really had me worried as a Packer fan in that Super Bowl until the Clay Matthews play....

Packers were down by a lot in that crazy playoff game against the Cardinals -- not the Hail Mary overtime game but the one that ended like 51-45 or something like that....

For a long time -- and I can't remember specifics off the top of my head, but I'm sure a few of you can remember -- for several years it seemed like the Packers would always get a huge lead on the Lions and the Lions would make it close....

2007 Titans at Texans. Tennessee was up 32-7 at the start of the 4th quarter. Houston QB Sage Rosenfels throws 4 touchdown passes in the 4th, Titans add a FG but Rosenfels hits a 53 yard td pass to take the lead 36-35 with 57 seconds left. The Titans somehow find a way to get into field goal range to win it with Rob Bironas' NFL record at the time 8th FG with no time left to win it 38-36.

This is really one of the only things I can remember about the 2007 Texans season. I remember when the 4th quarter started I felt like they could make the comeback, telling my family that was there to keep the faith alive it ain't over, then started to go wild when it was actually happening. When they took the lead with 57 seconds left I lost it. Then heartbreak. I may be wrong but I believe if they would have held on to win it it would have been the biggest regular season comeback in NFL history at the time? If not it had to be up there, 25 point comeback all in the 4th quarter was crazy, then to get it all scrubbed by dude's 8th field goal of the game and by the Titans of all teams, just brutal.

That game ended up being why Tennessee made the playoffs despite a laughably bad offense (9 passing touchdowns!) and being IMHO the worst playoff team in NFL history

If the Texans hold on Cleveland gets in and they would have been a more worthy postseason team than the fraudulent Titans
