The Minnesota Vikings had nothing going for them in the first half on Saturday.
And by nothing, we don’t only mean the zero on the scoreboard.
They were trailing 33-0 and seemed on the verge of a humiliating defeat.
But that’s why they play four quarters.
We are going to overtime in Minnesota!
After trailing 33-0 at halftime, with a win probability as low as 0.4%, the @Vikings now have a chance to mount the biggest comeback in NFL history.#INDvsMIN | 36-36 OT pic.twitter.com/KM1zCGHrfC
