* - Postseason Game

The second half of that Minnesota Vikings - Indianapolis Colts game was a beauty. 

Five of the 32 comebacks, including half of the eight greatest, were postseason games. One of those was Super Bowl LI. 

Five of the 32 comebacks came in the pre-Super Bowl era. Two occurred in the 1940s. 

The greatest comeback in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers came against a Cardinals team that was still playing in Chicago. 

Each of the Cardinals three homes (Chicago, St. Louis, and Arizona) is represented on this list. 

The greatest loser is easily the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Five teams have had their greatest comeback against the Buccaneers.

Now, it’s back to training camp watch. The Vikings are in pads today!
