One of the evergreen storylines in professional football over the past several years is how Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers "has done it again". Like the overpowered protagonist of a shounen manga, Rodgers has time and again done the improbable in clutch situations, leading his Packers kicking and screaming to victory in games where they appeared to be down for the count. Any Rodgers comeback, such as the one he led in Week Six against the San Francisco 49ers, is almost always met with the NFL's muses singing the praises of how absolutely amazing and perfect he is in every way.

There's one problem with that narrative: Rodgers doesn't have the most fourth quarter comebacks among NFL quarterbacks. Cam Newton, of the Carolina Panthers, does.

After erasing a 17-0 deficit in the fourth quarter to execute three touchdown drives and give the Panthers an improbable 21-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Cam Newton surpassed Rodgers' mark of 14-career fourth quarter comebacks, and now lords over the NFL's "comeback king" with 15. Such was an overlooked detail of Sunday's victory, and there is certainly room for Panthers fans to feel that Newton is not being acknowledged for his prowess in clutch situations.

After all, Rodgers' Monday Night comeback was met with the national media's continued glorification of the Packers' quarterback of a decade. Why isn't Cam getting the same treatment?

During his Monday morning press conference, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera stated that he believes Newton's ability to mount fourth quarter comebacks is underrated, and knows where it comes from.

"I think he gets overlooked because of his style of play," said Rivera. "It's not a prolific style. He runs the ball extremely well. He's not a pure, pure pocket passer, although there are elements of his game where he plays very well from the pocket."

As far as exactly where his success with fourth quarter comebacks comes from, Rivera attributed it to Newton's desire to win.

"He wants the ball (In those situations)," said Rivera, who then spoke about perhaps Newton's best play from the comeback: A fourth and 10 pass that he made to Torrey Smith for a first down as he was in the air and being tackled.

"To create a little more time for Torrey to make the cut, and for him to stand tall and take the hit and finish the delivery, that's an outstanding play," said Rivera.

What sticks out in Rivera's mind is the fact that Newton has made those sort of plays before: In a 2013 game against the New Orleans Saints, Newton made a similar play as the Saints brought a zero blitz, scoring a game-winning touchdown that lifted the Panthers over the Saints and led to Carolina's first NFC South title in the Newton-Rivera era.

"That play's etched in my mind," said Rivera. "Because I think just the fact that he's standing tall being pressured and their safety's just about to hit him as he releases it. ... It's a heck of a throw."
