Wild-Card Sunday Preview: Tannehill, Lamar and Who's Built to Come Back

1a. Ryan Tannehill led the NFL with five fourth-quarter comeback victories in 2020, while Lamar Jackson had only one. Now, you might argue that’s only because Lamar Jackson’s Ravens typically don’t trail in games, but to that I’d nod my head in agreement.

Fourteen times over the last two seasons has Tannehill had a reasonable chance for a fourth-quarter comeback win (trailing by 14 or less with more than 10 minutes to go). Seven times he has succeeded. As for Jackson, he’s only had an opportunity to mount a fourth-quarter comeback seven times over the past two years, and he’s succeeded in three of those games.
