Stranger than fiction: How the Vikings overcame a 17-point deficit to beat the Bills

In one of the most exciting regular season games in Vikings history, the team used a frantic rally late in the second half to take the lead with under a minute left in the fourth quarter. And they still needed overtime to win it 33-30. Here is how it all went down.

1:34: Dalvin Cook breathes life into the Vikings with an 81-yard TD run. Bills' lead cut to 27-17.

10:27: Patrick Peterson intercepts Josh Allen in the end zone on fourth-and-2 from the Vikings 7. Vikings then drive 66 yards for a C.J. Ham TD. But …

4:34: Greg Joseph hits the upright on PAT attempt after Ham's TD, leaving the score at 27-23.

2:00: With the Vikings on their own 27, Justin Jefferson extends a drive with a miraculous 32-yard catch on fourth-and-18.

0:59: Jefferson's go-ahead, 6-yard TD catch is overturned on video review and the ball is potted at the 1, making it fourth down.

0:50: Cook drops a fourth-down pass at the goal line, but an offsides penalty on the Bills gives the Vikings another chance.

0:41: On first-and-10 from their 1, after the Cousins stop, the Bills botch the snap and Eric Kendricks pounces on the fumble in the end zone. Vikings lead 30-27.

"The range [of emotions] would be about as much of a possible range as you could have in that moment," Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said.

0:24: Gabe Davis makes a diving catch on the sideline at the Vikings 40 for a 20-yard gain. After the game, an NFL official said Davis did not maintain control of the ball, and the play should have been reviewed and overturned.

0:02: Tyler Bass ties the score at 30-30 and sends the game to overtime with a 29-yard field goal, capping a five-play, 69-yard drive.

3:42: On the first possession of OT, the Vikings drive to the Buffalo 2, but after a tackle for a loss and a sack, Joseph puts them ahead 33-30 with a 33-yard field goal.

1:12: Peterson picks off Allen for the second time, in the end zone, to end the game. "To find a way to have more points in the end today, I'm going to remember this one forever," O'Connell said.
