According to this he is 8th in comebacks.  Seems to be capable of making the throws at the end of the game to win them. 

I know you don't like what ifs... however IF the kicker makes those kicks and Green doesn't fumble (which doesn't mean winning either way) he would have even more than 20.  He may not have as many as Philip Rivers, but he would be pretty close.  (I do know that the 2016 season would have been a division win and playoff appearance with an extra 3 wins if not for the kicking game, missing kicks less than 50 yards, Houston, Buffalo and NY Giants).  That would be good enough for 23.

It has to be prime time.

And the opponenet has to be a playoff team.

And it has to be a one score game at the end. (but for some reason a FG with three minutes left in a 5 point game does not count)

This has happened six times in Andy's 8 year career.  Once (Cards '15) Andy drove the team to tie the game with less than a minute left but the defense let the other team drive for a game winning score.  Two other times Andy has made the throws but a teammate messed up.  Bullock missed a FG from the 25 against the Texans in '16, and Green fumbled at the Texans 20 in '17.

So basically all of Faulks squealing about "NEVER EVER EVER" means "THREE OUT OF SIX" times over 8 years.
