2002 Wild Card (Jan. 5, 2003): Pittsburgh Steelers come back to defeat the Cleveland Browns 36-33
On January 5, 2003, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off an improbable comeback to defeat the Cleveland Browns 36-33 in the 2002 Wild Card round.
Tommy Maddox, the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, led one of Pittsburgh's greatest comebacks by throwing three touchdown passes in the final 19 minutes as the Steelers rallied from a 17-point deficit to stun the Browns 36-33.
Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala's 3-yard touchdown run with 54 seconds left secured the Steelers' most dramatic come-from-behind playoff victory since Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception against Oakland in 1972.
The Steelers trailed 17-7 at the half, 24-7 in the third quarter and 33-21 with just over 10 minutes remaining.
Watch the Steelers take on the Browns in the 2020 Wild Card round on Sunday, Jan. 10 at 8:15 pm on NBC.
