In week 16, both New York teams fell to superstar quarterbacks. The big comebacks of the week were engineered by Andrew Luck and the Colts against the Giants and Aaron Rodgers of the Packers against the Jets. The Giants led 14-0 after the first quarter, 17-7 at halftime, 24-21 after the third, and 27-21 with one minute to go, before Luck threw the game-winning touchdown pass. The Jets led the Packers 35-20 entering the 4th quarter, before the Packers scored on three straight drives to take a 38-35 lead. The Jets forced overtime, but the Packers scored a touchdown on the opening possession of OT, Green Bay’s third straight clutch drive that ended with a TD. The full Game Scripts below:
