THEY F**KING DID IT. The Vikings completed the biggest comeback in NFL history, climbing out of 33-point deficit to beat the Colts 39-36 on Greg Joseph's (YES, GREG) 40-yard field goal with three seconds left in overtime Saturday to win the NFC North division in their typical dramatic fashion.

Did you leave the stadium or turn off the TV? You'd miss Captain Kirk Cousins passing for 460 yards and four touchdowns. The Vikings (11-3), trailed 36-7 late in the third quarter and became just the third team in league history to win 10 games in a season by eight points or fewer. The Vikings became only the second team in 1,551 regular-season or playoff games to trail by 30 or more points and still win.

The intermission deficit for Minnesota was the second-biggest in franchise history, behind a 45-10 score at Seattle in 2002. The Vikings even overcame a pair of fumble returns for touchdowns by Chandon Sullivan that were wiped out by the whistle.

The Vikings took this rally all the way to their second possession of overtime. Cousins hit K.J. Osborn — who caught the first score and had a career-high 157 yards — for 15 yards. He found Adam Thielen — who had the second of three fourth-quarter tomiuchdown passes — for 21 yards. Then he threw to Justin Jefferson for 13 yards to move into range.
