Agreed--that's why I wanted the clarification.
I thought that the stat was only for the end of the game--opening it up to any point makes the number surprising. Indy's post above about the 1st quarter makes it even more surprising.

You don't really want deficits too late in games to be included in this stat

Ok, but the 14 point deficit was a bit of a fluke in the first place.

I bet the odds are pretty low to win after suffering a blocked punt for a TD.

Probably. What are the odds to win if you score 28 straight points?
