The Minnesota Vikings came back to win the largest comeback in NFL history on Saturday afternoon, beating the Indianapolis Colts at home by a score of 39-36.
The comeback was one point larger than the 32-point comeback by the Buffalo Bills over the Houston Oilers in the 1992 AFC wild-card round, which was ironically orchestrated by former Colts coach Frank Reich.
While the second half and winning the NFC North was an excellent finish, the first half was beyond abysmal. Nothing went right for the Vikings and it reflected in the 33-0 halftime deficit. Who deserves the most blame for the performance? Let’s break it down.
