The Vikings trailed the Colts at halftime, 33-0. In the second half (and overtime), they accomplished the biggest comeback in NFL history.
After the 39-36 overtime win, Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters that cornerback Patrick Peterson had a simple message for the offense at halftime.
“We’re gonna get stops,” Peterson said, via O’Connell. “You just need five touchdowns.”
Five touchdowns is what they got. Including a game-tying two-point conversion. And the game-winning field goal in overtime.
It was another crazy-ass win for a Vikings team that keeps pulling a rabbit out of its butt. Will they be able to do it in the playoffs?
The answers are coming, soon.
