Hope seemed lost for the Minnesota Vikings after the first 30 minutes of their matchup with the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
The Vikings walked into their locker room at the half facing a 20-point deficit to a Broncos team that had just three wins before this week’s contest in the Twin Cities. It was something that seemed all too familiar for Minnesota, who has been known to have a dud of a game once or twice per season since Mike Zimmer became their head coach in 2014.
But then the Vikings came out in the second half and did something the franchise hasn’t done since Week 13 of the 1985 season.
