Talk about amazing comebacks. This season has already been filled with them. At a record pace.
Through three weeks, there have been eight games in which a team came from behind to score the winning points in the final minute of the fourth quarter. That’s the most such finishes at this point in a season since at least the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. What’s more, in six of those games, the winning points were scored in the final 10 seconds.
