Super bowl Sunday--The Second Half
Today’s Superbowl—who you got? How many of you are just glad
the Patriots are not in it?
Everybody loves a comeback story.
SCORE: San Francisco 49ers 38, New Orleans Saints 35
DATE: Dec. 7, 1980
BIGGEST DEFICIT: 28 points
HOW IT HAPPENED: The Saints
were winning 35-7 at halftime. Game over, right? Wrong. A quarterback named Joe
Montana — in just his second NFL season — led the 49ers to the greatest
comeback in NFL regular-season history. During 16 NFL seasons, Montana would
lead his team to 31 fourth-quarter comebacks.
SCORE: St. Louis Cardinals 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28
DATE: Nov. 8, 1987
BIGGEST DEFICIT: 25 points
HOW IT HAPPENED: The Cardinals’ comeback from a 28-3 deficit wasn’t
the biggest in NFL history, but it was the latest in NFL history. St. Louis
scored an incredible 28 points … in the fourth quarter.
1992 wild card round: Bills 41, Oilers 38
-- 32 points
The Bills trailed 35-3 at the half. Though the Oilers
rallied to tie, the Bills prevailed on a Steve Christie field goal.
2013 wild card round: Colts 45, Chiefs 44
-- 28 points
The Colts trailed 31-10 at halftime and 38-10 with 13:39
remaining in the third quarter. Indianapolis outscored Kansas City 35-6 the
rest of the way for a 45-44 victory. The 28-point comeback the second-largest
in NFL postseason history.
Super Bowl LI:
Patriots 34, Falcons 28 (OT) -- 25 points
The Patriots trailed 28-3 with 8 minutes,
31 seconds left in the third quarter, but pulled off one of the greatest
comebacks in NFL history, if not sports championship history. They outscored
the Falcons 31-0 the rest of the way.
2002 wild card
round: 49ers 39, Giants 38 -- 24 points
The 49ers trailed 38-14 at home in the second half vs the Giants. The 49ers scored 25 unanswered points and won when the Giants botched the snap on a 40-yard field goal attempt as time ran out.
Job 42:12a New Living
Translation (NLT)
12 So the Lord
blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning.
Whatever condition you are in today, whatever you are going
through, whatever pain or affliction you are experiencing; I want to encourage
you that it’s not over and God is not done! The second half can be better than
the first.
In the meantime, while you are praying and waiting on God,
here’s my half time speech to motivate you.
1. Don’t get stuck
Every great QB has the ability to overcome their last play.
They don’t get stuck in the mindset of, “this is it. I’ll never make the next
down”. They remain positive and confident that they will get out of the deficit
they are in.
Vince
Lombardi was a renowned football coach who led the Green Bay Packers to five
NFL championships and two Super Bowl championships over a nine year period.
Before Lombardi took over the coaching position, the Packers were a losing
team, so he gained fame as a talented motivator.
The Super Bowl trophy was named in his
honor.
