Games where the losing team reached a high win probability and still lost: biggest collapses, most improbable comebacks. Powered by nflfastR play-by-play.
IND peaked at 100% win probability, lost 39–36 to MIN.MIN bottomed out at 0%.
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).
CLE peaked at 99% win probability, lost 31–30 to NYJ.NYJ bottomed out at 1%.
NOR peaked at 99% win probability, lost 17–16 to TAM.TAM bottomed out at 1%.
