The NFL witnessed more history-making today as the Minnesota Vikings broke the record for overturning the biggest deficit, winning 39-36 after being down 33-0 at halftime.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw four second half touchdowns to make it 36-34 with a couple of minutes left, before a two-point conversion levelled the scores to take the game to overtime.
The Vikings then took victory in the final seconds of OT with a 40-yard field goal.
Cousins was as shocked as everyone else in the stadium at the end of the match – when he was asked how he managed to lead his team to a historic victory, the quarterback replied: “We just pulled off the biggest comeback in NFL history.”
