In the Marvin Lewis era the Bengals have trailed by 7 points or more at the start of the 4th quarter 73 times. Four times they have came back to force overtime, and 5 times they have came back to win in regulation. Six of those 9 comebacks were in the Dalton era.
The first was week 5 of '03 when the Bengals came back from 6-13 to force overtime with the Bills, but we lost 22-16.
The biggest was the classic '04 game against the Ravens where the Bengals trailed 20-3 at the end of 3, but three 4th quarter td passes by Carson Palmer and a Shayne Graham FG with no time left resulted in a 27-26 victory. Palmer also led an epic comeback in '09 when we trailed the Steelers 20-9 after 3 quarters. That was the one where Palmer hit Caldwell with the game winning td with just 14 seconds left.
In 2013 in a span of 7 games Dalton led the team from behind by 7 points or more at the start of the 4th three times. In week 3 we came back from 30-21 to beat the Division Champions Packers 34-30 (Reggie Nelson with game winning 58 yard fumble return td). In week 9 we came back from 10-17 to force overtime against the Dolphins, but lost on a safety. And in week 11 we came back from 3-17 to force overtime on the 50 yard hail mary to Green on the last play of regulation, but we lost on a FG in overtime.
When we tied Carolina in '14 on the Nugent miss in overtime we had erased a 24-17 deficit at the start of the 4th quarter.
In '15 we trailed the Seahawks 24-7 at the start of the 4th quarter before winning 27-24 in overtime.
Then there was Sunday against the Dolphins.
