A deafening roar from the crowd was heard as the field goal went through, completely awe-struck by their home team’s brilliance. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport tweeted, “The greatest comeback in NFL history.” The Vikings indeed made one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history and the fans were speechless. Speechless according to the NFL world obviously means taking to Twitter to virtually scream their excitement and take shots at whoever is losing. And they did just that.

Not everyone is impressed by the display put on by Cousins and the Vikings

NFL Network’s Dov Kleiman did not hesitate to speak about what he thought of the Colts’ QB, Matt Ryan. He said, “33-0 lead. 28-3 lead. Doesn’t matter, Matt Ryan will find a way to lose the game.” Here Kleiman is referring to the 28-3 Super Bowl LI comeback by Tom Brady and the Patriots when Ryan was with the Atlanta Falcons.
