Bengals, Jaguars, Vikings combine to make NFL history in Week 15

The first of the trio of stunners took place on Saturday when the Vikings erased a 33-0 halftime hole and defeated the Indianapolis Colts in overtime, 39-36. Minnesota's epic victory set a new NFL record for the largest comeback in league history, breaking the Buffalo Bills' previous mark of 32 points during a 1993 playoff contest against the Houston Oilers.

The Vikings moved to 11-3 and clinched the NFC North with the comeback, while the Colts fell to 4-9-1 and are on the brink of elimination from the AFC playoff picture.

In the early slate of Sunday afternoon games, the Jaguars stormed back from a 27-10 second-half deficit at home against the Dallas Cowboys to capture a 40-34 overtime upset. Jacksonville second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence had one of the best games of his career, finishing 27-for-42 for 318 passing yards, a career-high four passing touchdowns, and one interception.

With the win, the Jaguars (6-8) move to just one game back of the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South (7-7), while the Cowboys drop to 10-4 and fall further behind the Philadelphia Eagles (13-1) in the NFC East.

The Bengals had their monster comeback on the road against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, as they trailed 17-0 late in the first half and 17-3 at intermission. Costly turnovers hurt Tampa Bay and Cincinnati racked up 34 unanswered points before a late Brady touchdown pass accounted for the 34-23 final.

Similar to Tennessee, the Bucs (6-8) still lead their pitiful NFC South division with a sub-.500 record, while the Bengals have won six in a row and are now in first place in the AFC North at 10-4.
