A massive statistical output by quarterback Andrew Luck made possible one of the largest and wildest comebacks in NFL history. It occurred in an AFC Wild Card game in early January 2014 at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. The visiting Chiefs led 24-7 midway through the second quarter, then 38-10 in the third. The Colts, who had been booed by a frustrated crowd at halftime, came suddenly to life in the third quarter: they scored three touchdowns to pull within 41-31. In the fourth, Luck – who had already thrown three interceptions in an up-and-down performance – scooped up his own fumble before running into end zone for a touchdown, and with 4:21 left he threw a 64-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton as the Colts won 45-44. In the end, Luck threw for 443 yards and four touchdowns; Indianapolis’ magic, though, ran out the following weekend, as the Colts lost to the Patriots, 43-22. ― NFL 100
