MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings completed the biggest comeback in NFL history, erasing a 33-point deficit by beating the Indianapolis Colts 39-36 ...

Jefferson left the game twice for a brief examination following jarring hits to the chest. 4, the Colts came back fresh from their bye week and stunned the Vikings with a 33-0 halftime lead that was the second-largest in the NFL this season. Jefferson had 12 catches for 123 yards and a touchdown and raised his season total to 1,623 receiving yards. The Vikings were given the recovery, but the play was blown dead. Outscored 33-0 in the fourth quarter of their most recent game, a 54-19 loss to Dallas on Dec. Dallis Flowers returned the opening kickoff 49 yards, and the Colts were in scoring position within seconds. According to Sportradar data, this was only the second loss in 1,551 regular-season or playoff games in the league since 1930 in which a team had a 30-plus-point lead and lost. Then Cousins hit Dalvin Cook for a 64-yard touchdown on a screen pass on the next play and T.J. The previous regular season comeback record was 28 points in 1980 when San Francisco rallied from down 35-7 to win 38-35.

The Indianapolis Colts blew the biggest lead in NFL history on Saturday as they fell to the Minnesota Vikings 39-36 in a Week 15 matchup.

Being outscored 39-3 in the second half, Indy allowed the Vikings to climb back into the game and steal it. The Colts haven’t done much good this season but there is one thing Indy has done impressively: reach new lows. Everyone was calling Minnesota frauds, and the Indianapolis was just flat-out dominating the Vikings. It was a new low in a season with many low points for the Colts, and everyone foolishly assumed it couldn’t get worse. In that game, Indy had given up 33 points in the fourth quarter and

Can the Seahawks still make the playoffs? It illustrated how big the gap has suddenly become between the 49ers and a Seattle team that used to own them not long ago. But the Colts still called 37 combined runs for backups [Deon Jackson](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4240455/deon-jackson) and [Zack Moss](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4035676/zack-moss). What to know: The Seahawks have a long way to go before they can compete with San Francisco for NFC West supremacy. As long as that two spot is in play, don't expect the Niners to take their foot off the gas, in part because they need to get Purdy as many snaps as possible before the postseason. The Ravens showed no signs of panic after the deflating defeat in Cleveland, though, and they know they can take the division if they win out. It's been a tough stretch for the Ravens, who have been held to 16 or fewer points in three consecutive games -- the team's worst such rut since 2000.

Is it the one that fell behind 33-0 at halftime, having allowed a blocked punt to be returned for one touchdown and an interception returned for another? But they did exactly that, and now have won 11 of the first 14 games of coach Kevin O'Connell's tenure.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Matt Ryan has won an NFL MVP award, been named Offensive Rookie of the Year and risen to seventh in the league in all-time passing yards ...

Ryan also came out on the wrong side of history for a second time in Indianapolis' 39-36 loss at Minnesota on Saturday. There was nothing about the game or the way the game played out other than, again, we don’t make the plays and they continue to make them that I look back in disappointment.” Ryan was stopped short on a fourth-down quarterback dive in the fourth quarter in Minnesota territory. “We were still putting the ball up in the air,” Saturday said, when asked if the team was too conservative in the second half. Matt Ryan also came out on the wrong side of history for a second time in Indianapolis' 39-36 loss at Minnesota on Saturday. Ryan was efficient in the first half as Indianapolis capitalized on numerous Minnesota mistakes.

With the Eagles clinching last Sunday and the 49ers securing their spot on Thursday, the playoff picture is becoming more clear week-by-week.

The Packers, while not mathematically ruled out or at risk of being eliminated in Week 15, will need a small miracle if they’re to make a post-bye week run to the post-season. No. Tennessee has lost three straight games heading into this clash against a Chargers club that’s finally looking (mostly) healthy at the best time. By gametime this Sunday, they could be in control of the Raiders’, too. Dallas, after recovering from their tense comeback win over Houston last week, can finally and officially clinch a playoff spot (but not yet the division) with a win on Sunday. Following four straight years finishing last in the AFC South, the Jaguars are playing a — mostly — meaningful game in December. In his first start as the Falcons’ QB1, Desmond Ridder has an opportunity to be a hero in this divisional clash. This Sunday in Carolina, two 5-8 teams hit the field with two very different outlooks. While he’s not about to break any league QB records, he’s got the Eagles on pace for their best season in franchise history and isn’t slowing down. The Bears, meanwhile, were one of the first clubs officially eliminated from contention this season. A premiere matchup, the game also features three of the league’s best receivers in Miami's Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and Buffalo’s Stefon Diggs. Four more teams can join the chorus of playoff-bound squads this weekend: The Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings are all facing win-and-you’re-in scenarios.

The Minnesota Vikings took a roundabout route but got it done Saturday in a game with major playoff implications. The Baltimore Ravens? Not so much.

The Bills would clinch a playoff spot with a triumph over the Dolphins in the night game. He [has not, to this point, resembled](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/04/deshaun-watson-browns-rodgers-nfl/?itid=lk_inline_manual_42) the three-time Pro Bowl selection the Browns thought they were getting when they [traded for him in March](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/03/18/deshaun-watson-trade-cleveland-browns/?itid=lk_inline_manual_42) and signed him to a new five-year contract worth a guaranteed $230 million. The Dolphins beat the Bills in Week 3 in Miami Gardens, Fla. The two teams play again in Cincinnati in Week 18. The Vikings would lock up the division crown with a triumph over the Colts. In Baltimore, Tyler Huntley was cleared Thursday under the NFL concussion protocols and he will make a second straight start at quarterback for the Ravens, with Jackson sidelined by a knee injury. The Ravens desperately need Jackson back in the lineup. The Ravens hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Bengals by virtue of a victory over them earlier this season. The two teams meet in Cincinnati in Week 18, with the division title possibly at stake. The Vikings did not score on that possession but got the ball back and tied the game on a 64-yard touchdown dash by tailback Dalvin Cook on a screen pass and Cousins’s two-point conversion pass to tight end T.J. The Colts used a touchdown on a blocked punt and a touchdown on an interception of a pass thrown by Cousins to build their huge lead. 3, 1993, when they overcame a 32-point deficit to defeat the Houston Oilers, 41-38, in overtime in an AFC playoff game in Orchard Park, N.Y.
