That playoff game where the Buffalo Bills with back up Frank Reich at quarterback, came from like 35 points down in the second half and defeated the Houston Oilers.

As far as "comeback games", Indy-NE a month ago's as good as it gets.

Reich was an under-rated QB, should've been starting somewhere.

No way..gotta agree about the Buffalo game. The Pats just crumbled in the second half. The D line was sick and just got tired. The D was forced to change and we couldn't do what we had been doing to Manning, most of the first half. Its still really hard to talk about :(

NE-Indi were far better teams AND the context was much better. The game had far more meaning; the winner basically won the Super Bowl winner, whereas the Buffalo game was what, 1st round featuring a solid Buffalo team against an ok Houston team. AND indi-NE was an established rivalry AND the whole Peyton Manning underperformance history.

Those were some of the best "comeback" games, along with a few Dallas playoff games in the 70s; don't know that any are the best all-time though.

What is a great comeback in soccer? A 0 to 0 tie? ;)

THE ICE BOWL.........COME ON....JUST WATCHING IT ON TV GIVES ME CHILL BUMPS


Naw dog.... The BSU VS. Oklahoma game this year Fiesta bowl... That's why zabranski is going to be on NCAA 08 cover.....

That was the best bowl game this year and nobody gave BSU a chance.....every other team would have went for the tie and go to double overtime, but the coach went for the win and got it....surprised the hell out of me

If we're gonna waste time with college games, the game around new year's was considered one of the best all-time.
