Wow, What a Comeback, Uh Comebacks

Wow, what a comeback. Make that comebacks.

You know, the ones in Cincinnati and Kansas City. In the Meadowlands and Music City. In Baltimore and the ATL.

Six teams either staged huge rallies to win on Sunday or executed timely drives to score the decisive points in a frantic Week 5. Two of the winners, the Bengals and Falcons, remained unbeaten thanks to their clutch work.

Two more, the Giants and Bills, gave themselves winning records — and well-earned pats on the shoulder pads — by displaying plenty of gumption despite being outplayed.

Meanwhile, the Browns and Bears, both already written off in NFL circles as much because of turmoil as lack of talent, fooled the critics with uplifting victories.
