At halftime, it looked like a bad slap for Minnesota against Indianapolis. Then the Vikings began the greatest comeback in NFL history.
The Minnesota Vikings made NFL history with a dramatic finish. In the home game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday (December 17, 2022), the Vikings turned a 0:33 deficit into a 39:36 halftime win.
Pleasant side effect: With the eleventh victory in the fourteenth game of the season, Minnesota secured first place in the NFC North and thus made it to the playoffs.
Disastrous start
For 28 minutes, it looked like a debacle for coach Kevin O’Connell’s team. While the Colts handled just about everything from all positions, things didn’t go all that well for the Vikings. Quarterback Kirk Cousins even produced an interception touchdown.
The first points in the second round went to Minnesota – and then the “Vikings” started to spin. Two more Cousins touchdown passes and a field goal later, Minnesota was within eight points.
Cousins on one side
Almost two minutes later the moment came: Dalvin Cook carried a 64-yard pass from Cousins into the end zone. Instead of a kick, the Vikings decided to try another pass. Cousins finds TJ Hockenson for extra two points in end zone – 36:36. The mega comeback was perfect.
In overtime, Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made the decision 39:36 with a 40-yard field goal two seconds before the end.
