It\u2019s the fastest. The only way a comeback can be faster is if the exact same thing happens but the guy runs to the endzone slightly faster. There is no way to score a faster comeback. Extra Points or conversion attempts <em>do not take time off the clock<\/em>. Effectively, the Falcons, despite scoring the go-ahead touchdown\u2026were never actually ahead. When the clock started again, the Chiefs had the lead. The Falcons lead was maybe a minute of real time, but in game time sits in a weird vacuum between dimensions, never to be found. This is the fastest game winning drive in NFL history, and the man who owns it couldn\u2019t call a timeout properly if his lunch date depended on it. Andy Reid, a man who is so baffled by clocks he\u2019s still trying to understand how daylight savings works, owns this record. This might low-key be the most amazing thing that happens all year.
