Vikings score. plus#
Osborn, Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook, plus a one-yard dive by fullback C.J.
The Vikings roared back on the strength of Cousins throwing four second-half touchdowns to K.J.
Minnesota's first seven drives were a textbook way to put the game out of your own reach quickly as it ended with a blocked punt returned for an Indianapolis touchdown, a fumble by running back Dalvin Cook, consecutive turnovers on downs, a punt, a Cousins pick-six and another punt. The Vikings are now the first team in NFL history to go 10-0 in one-possession games through the first 14 games of a season. Make that 1-132 following the newest "Minnesota Miracle" that was completed by kicker Greg Joseph's 40-yard overtime field goal. Entering Saturday, teams that trailed by 30 or more points at the half were 0-132 in the Super Bowl Era - since 1966 - including playoff games. The game swung from an unmitigated disaster to an unprecedented comeback with the Vikings utilizing a 39-3 run in the second half and overtime to surpass the Buffalo Bills' 32-point rally over the Houston Oilers in the 1992 AFC wild-card game, a game Buffalo won 41-38 in overtime after trailing 32-3. Thanks to their 33-point comeback, the largest in a single game in NFL history, Minnesota locked down its first NFC North division title since 2017 and also its first playoff berth since 2019. The Colts dropped to 4-9-1 following Minnesota's 39-36 historic comeback victory in overtime. Saturday afternoon became the most unlikely division coronation in NFL history for the host Minnesota Vikings as they trailed 33-0 at halftime - the largest home halftime deficit in franchise history - against a scuffling Indianapolis Colts team that has now lost four in a row.
