Minnesota Vikings clinch NFC North after setting new NFL comeback record

The Minnesota Vikings have set a new NFL record after they beat the Indianapolis Colts despite trailing at one stage by 33 points.

The Vikings have two accomplishments to celebrate on Saturday night as not only have they clinched the NFC North division, they've completed the greatest comeback in NFL history. The Vikings were stunned in the first half by the Colts who led 33-0 as both teams headed to the locker rooms.

But it was a game of two halves, as the Colts were held to just a single field goal across the final two quarters, and the Vikings pounced. 36 points in the second half from the Vikings saw them tie the match in dramatic circumstances, before going on to win with a game-winning field goal in overtime.
