Andrew Luck’s NFL resume includes 21 game-winning comebacks in the 4th quarter or overtime. Among those victories, one in particular comes to mind when talking about the former Colts quarterback. It was January 4, 2014, at Lucas Oil Stadium, against the Chiefs, for the first round of the playoffs.
Indianapolis was trailing 31-10 at the break and coach Chuck Pagano’s tough talk during the break didn’t have the desired effect. On the contrary. On the first possession, Luck threw his 2nd interception of the day and Kansas City scored 3 plays later to take a 28-point lead after just 76 seconds of play (10-38). The unthinkable then happened. Gradually, the Colts came back into the game. One touchdown at a time, the quarterback finally led his team to a 45-44 victory, the second biggest comeback in playoff history. Despite 3 interceptions, number 12 still finished the game with 443 yards thrown and 4 touchdowns.
