When the Colts went into the locker room with a 33-0 halftime lead over the Vikings, I decided to take a nap.
Apparently, so did the Colts.
Because after falling behind 33 points at home, the Minnesota Vikings dominated the second half and squeaked out a last-second overtime win on a field goal. Because the only thing more shocking than a comeback from down 30+ points is a Vikings kicker making a clutch kick for the win.
Here’s how they did it:
I’m still not buying Vikings stock. And I still believe they’ll face early playoff heartbreak. But a comeback from down 33 points is an all-timer. Even if it came against a Colts team that’s been all sorts of messy this year.
