Skol! The Minnesota Vikings completed the biggest comeback in NFL history, erasing a 33-point deficit by beating the Indianapolis Colts 39-36 in OT.

Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday didn’t exactly get conservative in this collapse. Matt Ryan was stopped short on a fourth-and-1 sneak at the Minnesota 36 with 2:19 left in regulation. Then Cousins hit Dalvin Cook for a 64-yard touchdown on a screen pass on the next play and T.J. Hockenson for the 2-point conversion to tie the game before the 2-minute warning.

The intermission deficit for Minnesota was the second-biggest in franchise history, behind a 45-10 score at Seattle in 2002. Sullivan was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after his tirade at the officials. The nickel cornerback thought he scored on a fumble return in the second quarter, too, when he ripped the ball out of Michael Pittman’s arms after a short catch. That play was blown dead for forward progress.The special teams units bore the brunt of the brutal start for the Vikings. Dallis Flowers returned the opening kickoff 49 yards, and the Colts were in scoring position within seconds.

Jefferson had 12 catches for 123 yards and a touchdown and raised his season total to 1,623 receiving yards. Calvin Johnson’s all-time record of 1,964 yards was set in 16 games in 2012.Colts: RB Jonathan Taylor was hurt on a 13-yard reception that ended with a hard tackle as he tumbled out of bounds, his first touch. He missed three games with the injury earlier this season.

I say thst more of a embarrassment for the Colts than anything.

So the colts defense controlled the game for 2 and 1/2 quarters and then all of the sudden the last l and 1/4 they forgot how to play,please lm not buying it.

Congrats Vikings‼️ Helluva win‼️

The Colts have had a couple of epic 4th quarter meltdowns lately, only trailed the Cowboys 21-19 going into the 4th a couple weeks ago, ended up losing 54-19, now this.

Even as dirty as the Colts played and ref's taking 2 touchdowns from the Vikings. We still won.

The only time the Vikings lead the game was as time expired in O/T with the field-goal to win the game 39 - 36. Insane game. Also the last time Matt Ryan will QB a team in the NFL Vikings VikingsFootball nflnetwork

I gave up on this game at half-time! 😠

cool comeback, still hate the Vikings though

They suck balls

The defensive coordinator, Ed Donatell, could be on his way out. Probably the worst defense in the league over the last 6 games or so.

Poor Matt Ryan the Patriots Super Bowl broke the Falcons franchise and Matt Ryan neither have been the same since that game

The refs had no clue what was happening, clearly played for the cults

The Vikings might not have won had the Colts actually played football in the second half.

Indy coach should be fired immediately for that embarrassment. Go Lions!!
