GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Matt LaFleur didn't know where to begin when it came to trying to make sense of how his Green Bay Packers -- with his quarterback making his first ever start at Lambeau Field -- pulled off one of the more unlikely comebacks in franchise history.
And it's not a short history.
In more than 100 years of football, the Packers had only once before turned a 17-point, fourth-quarter deficit into a victory, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
They doubled that number in Sunday's home opener at Lambeau Field, where the New Orleans Saints led 17-0 after three quarters only to watch LaFleur, Jordan Love and a short-handed team pull off an 18-17 victory.
