The recent 21-point comeback matched the franchise's largest comeback, joining other memorable last-minute victories in team history. The October 8, 2007 Monday Night Football game against Buffalo featured Tony Romo throwing five interceptions, with Dallas trailing 20-7 at halftime and 24-13 entering the fourth quarter. Dallas scored 12 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, including a 4-yard touchdown from Romo to Patrick Crayton with 24 seconds remaining, followed by an onside kick recovery and a 53-yard game-winning field goal by Nick Folk. Dallas finished that season 13-3 and lost to the New York Giants in the Divisional Round.
"A game in which everything went wrong until about the final four or five minutes of the game. When it mattered, Romo connected with Patrick Crayton for a 4-yard touchdown with 24 seconds left, but was unable to convert on the two-point conversion, leaving them needing to recover the onside kick. They did just that, and after one positive play, a 53-yard field goal by Nick Folk won the game."
"With the Dallas Cowboys' 21-point comeback on Sunday, it matched the largest in franchise history, and it got me thinking about all the other down-to-the-wire games that we have seen throughout the years. Below are just a few games that came to mind when I started thinking about other great comebacks. I would love to hear yours, and, heck, maybe it will bring back a few that I forgot, or even some that happened before I was born in 1996."
