Which Colts Comeback Game was your favorite?

AFCCG against NE because of the stakes and emotion of it. But I was just thinking about this today, I would say of my top 5 favorite comebacks 3 are from the Luck era: GB, Detroit and KC. TB and NE from the Manning era.

 

Special shout outs to the 4th and 2 game and the Rosencopter game.

That Detroit game I was certain we'd lose and then the td as time ran out was heart attack material

 

We were down like 3 scores with about 5 minutes to go. The only reason the Colts/Lions game is not discussed with the Colts/Bucs game is because it was not on prime time.

What has always amazed me about Peyton's comebacks is how quickly they happened.  Against Tampa and Houston, they were down 3 scores with only a few minutes left.  They came back so quickly that they still had to fend off a late drive in each of those games.  In 06 against NE, they were down 18 late in the first half but had the game tied early in the third quarter. 

 

With Luck, it seems like his comebacks have been more sustained and have taken more time.  Hopefully Indy will get to the point where a Luck comeback is not needed.

I will go with the Bucs game because we beat the defending Super Bowl Champion. More importantly Meshawn Johnson was mic'd up and talking smack about Marvin. Saying in head to head games with receivers in the same draft class he has beaten them all. Marvin made Meshawn look the fool. I just want throw in the 97 game against defending Super Bowl Champion Packers with Brett Farve. We beat them in the dome at an 0-10 season so far with back-up QB Paul Justin replacing an injured Jim Harbaugh.
