Game Summary:
While I didn't watch this game, from what I can tell this was a really bad but also really awesome game! The Vikings couldn't manage to score a point in the 1st half. They were on the Colts' side of the field multiple times but couldn't manage to score, either throwing a pick, fumbling or another improbability. Indianapolis managed to score 33 points in the first half.
Minnesota started off the 2nd half with a touchdown pass to KJ Osborn. Indy kicked another field goal, but that would be their last score. Minnesota would go on to score 4 more touchdowns and a 2-point conversion to tie the game! This sent the game to overtime. In overtime, both teams traded possessions. Then the Vikings managed a short possession to get in range for Greg Joseph. The rest is history, as Joseph nailed a 40 yard field goal to win the game!

Playoff Update
With this win, the Vikings clinch the NFC North divisional title and a playoff spot! Minnesota currently sits in the drivers seat for the second seed. They are behind Philadelphia who is in the number 1 spot. San Francisco holds the 3rd spot.

Up Next
Next weekend, Minnesota will take on the current wild card New York Giants on Christmas Eve (Saturday) at 12 PM CT.
