How Vikings pulled off biggest comeback in NFL history
MINNEAPOLIS -- Patrick Peterson walked into the Minnesota Vikings locker room at halftime on Saturday and fired off one of the most absurd challenges in NFL history: "We need five touchdowns to win this game."
The Vikings trailed 33-0. Some players weren't sure if Peterson was serious or speaking with gallows humor. In this century, after all, NFL teams have scored five touchdowns after halftime in roughly three out of every 1,000 games.
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, however, overheard him and said he was moved.
