Broncos' 33-Point Fourth Quarter Stuns Giants in Record Comeback

Brian Daboll kept his coaching staff intact after the collapse.

Overview

  • Denver erased a 19-0 deficit to win 33-32 by scoring all 33 of its points in the fourth quarter, breaking an ESPN-cited streak of 1,602 straight wins by teams leading by at least 18 with about six minutes left.
  • Bo Nix became the first NFL quarterback to record two passing and two rushing touchdowns in a single quarter, with Will Lutz adding a walk-off 39-yard field goal.
  • Momentum-turning plays included Justin Strnad’s late interception and Marvin Mims Jr.’s contested 31-yard sideline catch that kept the decisive drive alive.
  • The Broncos improved to 5-2 and hold sole possession of the AFC West lead, even as J.K. Dobbins and others emphasized the need to fix slow starts.
  • Daboll said he is not making staff changes and players publicly backed DC Shane Bowen; the Giants waived kicker Jude McAtamney after missed extra points as Jaxson Dart earned praise despite a costly interception.
