Brad Biggs: 4th-quarter comebacks are at an all-time high in the NFL. The next step for Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields is delivering in crunch time.

Even by Tom Brady’s lofty standards, the rally he directed Monday night in guiding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 17-16 victory over the New Orleans Saints was special.

The 44th fourth-quarter comeback of Brady’s career set an NFL record, breaking a tie with Peyton Manning, and happened to be the largest deficit he has rallied from in the fourth quarter in the regular season.

The Saints led 16-3 with 5 minutes, 21 seconds remaining when Brady began a touchdown drive that ended on a pass to Cade Otton. The game-winning drive — after the Saints proved inept at clock management — culminated on a throw to Rachaad White, lifting the Bucs to a victory that put it in firm control of the NFC South.
