Andrew Luck may not be ready to claim the quarterbacking throne but the Indianapolis Colts leader is already king of the comeback after he rallied his team to a wild-card win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
The No 1 pick in the 2012 draft, Luck has become a master of the Houdini-like escape, engineering 10 fourth quarter or overtime regular season game winning drives, more than any other quarterback in his first two seasons.
But Luck's greatest comeback to date, and perhaps what might be the best of his career, was in front of a frenzied home crowd as the Colts rallied from a 38-10 third-quarter deficit to steal a 45-44 win and advance to the divisional playoff against either the Denver Broncos or New England Patriots.
