The Indianapolis Colts (4-9-1) found themselves on the wrong side of history Saturday in an epic collapse that resulted in a 39-36 overtime loss against the Minnesota Vikings (11-3).

Despite holding a 33-0 lead at halftime, the Colts were outscored 36-3 in the second half. The Vikings tied the game just before the end of regulation and then won the game on a 40-yard field-goal attempt as time expired in overtime.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the epic collapse:

So Frank Reich no longer has the greatest comeback in NFL history because the guy the Colts replaced him with blew a bigger lead than Frank overcame.

That’s truly beautiful.

What a TERRIBLE loss for the Colts, Yikes.

Gutsy Win by the Vikes.

Refs should be fined and suspended #ColtsVsVikings

The NFL has been around since 1920.

The first Super Bowl was in 1967.

There has never been a 33-point comeback in an NFL game.

Until today.

The Vikings defeat the Colts 39-36 in overtime after being down 33-0.

Unbelievable.

That was epic. I can’t believe that just happened.

Textbook in entertainment, yet still lose for draft position!

It’s a #Colts (4-9-1) organization, from top-down, in absolute shambles.

HAHAHAHAHA what a historic loss for the Colts

Absolute comedy

The Colts under Saturday have blown 4th quarter leads in 3 of their last 4 games, and the one game they didn’t blow a 4th quarter lead, they got outscored 33-0 in the 4th.

Under Saturday, they’ve been outscored 83-9 in the 4th quarter.

I’m sure it’s just bad luck, though.

As a Colts fan, idk if I’m more embarrassed about this collapse or happy that it helps our draft position.

The Colts made my choke job to Gilmore look like child’s play.

Largest comeback in NFL history. It’s almost like the Colts are coached by someone who never coached before on any level.
