Week one of the NFL season was filled with many thrilling comebacks, and even more embarrassment for the Chargers and Colts. Not every team has the talent to come back: it includes dumb luck sometimes, along with a quarterback whose done it before. Sometimes, a team mistakenly concludes its over and doesn't realize their opponent's making adjustments in the locker room. The 49ers of the '80s and The Broncos of the '90s had WBS who led multiple comebacks. That helped teammates stay confident. Granted, some teams don't: the Bengals of the '90s and Detroit Lions of the 2000s come to mind. Comebacks in the NFL are a simple matter of talent that's done it before, a good defense to give their QB the ball back, and a little dumb luck. That's it; its a simple recipe.
