Greatest Comeback Wins For Each Franchise
Posted by Mike on October 6, 2014
Hey @pfref, where does winning after a 25-point deficit rank in terms of #Browns all-time come-from-behind wins?

This question about the Browns' comeback from a 25 point deficit yesterday inspired me to build a set of pages for the greatest comebacks for each NFL team plus a list of each team's comeback victories. You can see there that the Browns' win was their biggest comeback of all time and tied for the third biggest deficit ever overcome to win a game.
EDIT: I realized I could turn this around and do the greatest blown leads for each NFL team, too. So take heart, Titans fans - that wasn't the worst blown lead in franchise history (that.. doesn't make you feel much better, does it?)
Hi Mike this is great but I would like to be able to sort by date the franchise blown leads and comeback wins. When you click on the column header to sort it is incorrectly sorting by month and not by the date. Can you please fix this? Thanks
