'Hilariously stupid': Colts fans react to their blown second-half lead
The Indianapolis Colts led the Minnesota Vikings by 33 points at halftime. No team had ever lost a 30-point-plus halftime lead in an NFL regular-season game.
But the Vikings charged back in the second half, scoring touchdowns on four of their first five drives and eventually tying the game, 36-36, with a touchdown and two-point convertion.
Colts fans started wondering if they might watch the team wind up on the wrong end of league history.

They can’t blame this one on Carson Wentz. #Colts

Can you fire the interim coach and hire another interim 2.0?

You have to give the Colts credit for finding new and creative ways to implode.
That's not easy four months into the season.— Jim Ayello (@jimayello) December 17, 2022
Biggest historic NFL comeback of 32 in serious jeopardy... #Colts

I just can’t get worked up about this game. It’s been hilariously stupid throughout.

Why are @Colts still throwing the ball??? Run clock, make them burn timeouts. This is not rocket science people. Geez...

Win probability is about 3% now, so that's a big move. If the Colts lose a game with a 33-0 2nd half lead, they should just move on to their 2nd interim head coach.

Who let this game start drinking again?

Why are people on edge? Just sit back and enjoy this fourth quarter:
Colts win? Cool. It was actually kind of fun to see them win.
Colts actually blow this game? Cool. Helps draft position and that’s more meaningful than a quest for 8-8-1.— Derek Schultz (@Schultz975) December 17, 2022
Well, already looking like another game where an incompetent Colts offense can’t close
