Since 2001, New England has lost one home game after leading in the fourth quarter. Every other team has lost at least six. I looked at every fourth-quarter comeback (4QC) opportunity since 2001, including the playoffs. These are defined as games where the offense had possession in the fourth quarter, trailing by 1 to 8 points. Overtime is also included now with the new rules.

Opponents are 1-46 (.021) at 4QC opportunities in New England since 2001. That is absolutely absurd. Including Super Bowls on neutral fields, the record is 3-49 (.058), and Eli Manning has led all three wins.
