The Vikings' comeback against the Colts on Saturday broke the record for the largest comeback in a single game, and the connection between Minnesota’s thriller and the previous record holder runs deep.
Before Saturday’s game, the largest comeback was made by the Bills, who came back from down 35–3 to defeat the Houston Oilers in the 1993 AFC Wild Card game. The Bills quarterback for that game was Frank Reich, and Reich has used the knowledge from that game to coach others ever since.
After the Vikings rallied from down 33 to win, Reich texted quarterback Kirk Cousins to congratulate him.
