Big comebacks made headlines in the NFL yesterday, with several teams mounting impressive rallies to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The Denver Broncos, for one, found themselves in yet another thriller, ultimately prevailing over the Los Angeles Rams thanks in large part to a crucial interception by safety Ji'Ayir Hufanga. However, Broncos head coach Sean Payton sounded less than thrilled about his team's reliance on comebacks, saying they can't keep relying on mounting late-game rallies to get the job done.

Dramatic finishes weren't limited to the Broncos-Rams matchup, as the Baltimore Ravens took down the Dallas Cowboys in a wild back-and-forth contest that ended with a walk-off field goal. The Saints, meanwhile, were on the wrong end of a questionable fumble ruling, leaving them to wonder what might have been. As we look at the top scorers through Sunday's games, it's clear that offense is thriving around the league - but it's the teams that can find a way to close out games that will be making a serious push for the playoffs.
