It has to be Russell Wilson.

24-36 385 yards 2TDS
7 carries 60 yards 1TD

Comeback from 20 down in 2nd half on the road. Dominated the second half. Atlanta couldn't keep Russell out of the end zone in the second half.

Has there been a better performance in a losing effort?

Kurt Warner vs Green Bay in '09

ETA: Nevermind, was thinking Arizona lost that one. Rodgers was pretty good in that one as well.

So is this a thread about the best losers?

January 2, 1982. Chargers at Dolphins. Don Strock completes 29 of 43 passes for 403 yards and 4 touchdowns IN RELIEF of an ineffective David Woodley. Strock entered the game in the 2nd quarter with the Dolphins trailing 24-0. The Chargers would win in OT, 41-38.

I have seen a lot of football in my day and that game still ranks in my top 5 ever.

There have been a lot of playoff games. Im sure some research would have to be done before naming Wilson #1.

--Michael Irvin against the 49ers in 1994(5) he pwndd Deion Sanders in that game and should have gotten a PI that would have made the game a different game in the 4th qtr when deion mugged him on a deep ball

--Kellen Winslow in that epic game agains the Dolphins I believe it was back in 1980 or so

Wasn't there a guy who got MVP of Super Bowl and team lost? In the 70s or 80s?
