The Minnesota Vikings mounted the biggest comeback in NFL history in a wild game Saturday.

Down 33-0 to the Indianapolis Colts at half time, the Vikings led by quarterback Kirk Cousins turned their fortunes around at U.S. Bank Stadium to complete a 39-36 victory.

The rally by the home team featured some big plays, including Cousins connecting with tight end T.J. Hockenson for a two-point conversion after a touchdown with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter to tie the game 36-36, leading to overtime.

Vikings kicker Greg Joseph sealed victory for his team in the final seconds of the game with a 40-yard field goal.

ā€œI know we scared y’all in the first half,ā€ said Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson in a clip posted by the NFL’s Twitter account. ā€œBut stick with us. We’re going to hold y’all on our back. We’re going to fight to the end.ā€

The Vikings broke the record set by the Buffalo Bills during a 1992 wild card playoffs game. In that contest, the Bills overcame a 32-point deficit against the Houston Oilers in what became known as ā€œThe Comeback.ā€

The Vikings, now with a 11-3 record, clinched a trip to the playoffs atop the NFC North division. The Colts fell to 4-9-1, losing four out of the last five games since Jeff Saturday took over as interim coach.

ESPN’s ā€œSports Centerā€ marked the Colts’ defeat with a tweet about quarterback Matt Ryan. ā€œMatt Ryan has now been on the losing end of both the largest comeback in Super Bowl history and the largest comeback in NFL history,ā€ the tweet said.

That was a reference to the Super Bowl in 2017, when the New England Patriots came back from a 28-3 score to win the championship against the Atlanta Falcons.
