Games where the losing team reached a high win probability and still lost: biggest collapses, most improbable comebacks. Powered by nflfastR play-by-play.
Heartbreak magnitude = the losing team's peak WP in the game. A 90%-peak loss is a bigger collapse than a 60%-peak loss. The same number reads as the winning team's comeback magnitude (their lowest WP was 1 − loser peak).
SFO peaked at 97% win probability, lost 38–35 to LAC.LAC bottomed out at 3%.
TAM peaked at 94% win probability, lost 23–20 to NOR.NOR bottomed out at 6%.
BAL peaked at 93% win probability, lost 34–33 to LAC.LAC bottomed out at 7%.
