Colts-Vikings: The largest comeback in NFL history by the numbers
The Vikings shocked the Colts with a rally for the ages. Here are some wild numbers from the largest comeback in NFL history.DECEMBER 18, 2022
Another historic blown lead Ryan completed 19 of 33 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Impact With Minnesota's offense and special teams imploding in the first half, Ryan didn't have to do much en route to a 33-0 halftime lead, though he chipped in with a one-yard passing touchdown to Deon Jackson in the first quarter. After halftime, a script Ryan has come to know all too well unfolded, as the Vikings tied the game at 36 with 2:15 left in regulation. Minnesota completed the largest comeback in NFL history with a field goal in the final minute of overtime after one last failed drive from Ryan and the Colts. The aging quarterback hasn't thrown for 250 yards in a game since Week 6 as he prepares to face the Chargers on MNF in Week 16.

Impact In the Colts' 54-19 loss to the Cowboys in Week 13, Ryan completed 21 of his 37 pass attempts for 223 yards and two TDs, while throwing a trio of picks and losing a fumble in the contest. While the veteran QB has no doubt had his share of turnovers this season, Saturday suggested that the positioning of the signal-caller's receivers, as well as breakdowns in pass protection have been contributing factors to Ryan's ball security issues. In any case, Ryan will look to rebound this weekend following a bye week, while going up against a Minnesota defense that is allowing a league-high average of 287.2 passing yards per game to date.

Commits four turnovers on SNF Ryan completed 21 of 37 pass attempts for 223 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions and one fumble lost in Sunday's 54-19 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact This game was actually much closer than the final score suggests, but Ryan committed untimely turnovers that ultimately cost his team a chance at victory. The aging signal-caller threw an ugly interception on the Colts' final drive of the first half, then he had three consecutive drives with turnovers in the second half that all resulted in touchdowns for Dallas on the ensuing drives. Ryan has not performed well since being reinstated as the starter by head coach Jeff Saturday, producing a 2:6 TD:TO ratio while failing to top 225 passing yards in any of the four games. The sliding Colts are entering a bye week, so it will be interesting to see if Saturday sticks with his struggling starter when the team resumes play against the Vikings on Dec. 18.
