Greatest Comebacks
The biggest single-season statistical rebounds in NFL history — measured as per-game improvement from a genuine down year, normalized against the player's own career baseline. Only consecutive seasons with ≥8 games qualify.
Measures consecutive-season per-game rebounds after a genuine down year. Known event-ledger seasons are attached to rows as context badges, so injury/comeback-award context stays visible instead of becoming anonymous stat movement.
