TL then DW. Both with 16 point playoff comebacks.

DW's, in spite of 7 sacks, was against some tall odds:
According to ESPN Stats & Info research, over the past 10 seasons, including playoffs, starting quarterbacks were 1-117 when taking six or more sacks and trailing by 16 or more points in the same game. The lone win came from the Jaguars' Blake Bortles in 2014 against the Giants.

Loved DW's reference to Dabo.

"The game is never over," Watson said. "Regardless if we're down 16-0, 7-0, 28-0, I'm going to keep fighting. I'm going to keep playing. That's just me. I play the game. ... When I was in college, [Clemson coach] Dabo [Swinney] used to always tell us, regardless if we're up or we're down, 'Don't ever look at the scoreboard.' Keep fighting and keep pushing forward."

And an interesting tidbit:

Per ESPN Stats & Information data, Watson is the only starting quarterback in the past 15 postseasons with at least a 14-point comeback victory in both college and the NFL. He led a 14-point comeback win for Clemson against Alabama in the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship.
