Giants vs. Broncos Highlights, Scores: Denver Stuns New York With Historic 33-Point Fourth Quarter Comeback

The Week 7 showdown between the New York Giants and Denver Broncos delivered one of the most dramatic finishes of the NFL season. In a stunning turn of events, Denver erased a 19-point deficit to defeat New York 33-32 on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High, powered by a historic 33-point fourth quarter — the largest in franchise history.

The Giants appeared to be cruising toward victory, holding the Broncos scoreless through three quarters and extending their lead to 26-8 with just over 10 minutes remaining. But the final quarter turned into a nightmare for New York and a showcase of resilience for Denver, led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Giants’ Strong Start Crumbles Under Fourth Quarter Pressure

New York controlled the game early behind a sharp performance from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. He threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns while adding another score on the ground. Running back Saquon Barkley churned out 104 rushing yards on 21 carries, and Darius Slayton caught two touchdown passes, helping the Giants build a commanding lead.

The Giants defense also dominated early, forcing five punts on Denver’s first six possessions and limiting Bo Nix to just 112 passing yards through three quarters. Everything pointed toward a comfortable New York win — until the fourth quarter began.

Denver’s offense suddenly came alive. Nix connected with Courtland Sutton on a 45-yard touchdown strike to cut the lead to 26-15. Moments later, linebacker Baron Browning intercepted Dart and returned it for a touchdown, pulling Denver even closer.

Nix then capped an 80-yard drive with a rushing touchdown with under two minutes to go, trimming the Giants’ lead to a single point. A crucial defensive penalty on New York extended Denver’s final drive, setting up kicker Wil Lutz for a game-winning 39-yard field goal as time expired.

Stat Leaders and Game-Changing Plays

Both teams put up impressive numbers, but Denver’s late surge overwhelmed New York’s early dominance. Here are some of the standout performances:

• Bo Nix (DEN): 27-of-38 passing, 314 yards, 2 TDs, 1 rushing TD

Season Implications and What’s Next

This defeat drops the Giants to 2-5, severely damaging their playoff hopes. It also marks the first time since 2015 that a team has lost a game after leading by 19 or more points entering the fourth quarter. Denver, meanwhile, improves to 5-2 and solidifies its place as a contender in the AFC playoff race.

Denver’s comeback is already being hailed as one of the greatest in team history. Their 33-point final quarter is the second-highest scoring fourth quarter in NFL history. It also marked Nix’s third 300-yard passing game this season, underscoring his rapid rise as a franchise quarterback.

“We never stopped believing,” Broncos head coach Sean Payton said after the game. “Bo showed the poise and fire of a veteran today. This is the kind of win that can define a season.”

Next up: The Giants will travel to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 8, while the Broncos prepare for a pivotal AFC West matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
