Broncos’ 33-Point Fourth-Quarter Rally Stuns Giants 33-32, Followed by Staff Backing, Kicker Cut and Public Spat

Brian Daboll chose continuity on his staff, with the Giants instead waiving kicker Jude McAtamney.

Overview

  • Denver scored all 33 points in the fourth quarter, ending a 1,602-game streak in which teams leading by 18 with six minutes left had always won, according to ESPN.
  • Bo Nix became the first NFL quarterback to record two passing and two rushing touchdowns in a single quarter, powering the late surge.
  • The win moved Denver to 5-2 and into sole possession of first place in the AFC West, their first solo lead in the division since 2015, per KDVR.
  • Daboll said he is not considering major staff changes after conceding 33 fourth-quarter points, and captain Bobby Okereke said players are “100 percent” behind defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.
  • The Giants waived Jude McAtamney after two missed extra points, and Russell Wilson called Sean Payton “classless” following Payton’s remark about New York’s quarterback change.
