Nix's Historic Quarter Lifts Broncos to Largest Comeback

The Denver Broncos completed the largest comeback in franchise history, erupting for 33 fourth-quarter points to beat the New York Giants 33-32 on Will Lutz's 39-yard field goal as time expired. Bo Nix spearheaded the rally, finishing 27-of-50 for 279 yards with two fourth-quarter passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns — the first player in NFL history to record two passing and two rushing TDs in a single quarter. Denver's defense delivered late, including Justin Strnad's interception and a key sack by Zach Allen, after the team had been shut out for three quarters amid penalties and stalled drives. The Giants' rookie Jaxson Dart committed late miscues while linebacker Brian Burns had two sacks and publicly criticized late-game defensive play-calling as the loss dropped New York to 2-5. The victory moved Denver to 5-2 and atop the AFC West, and the night also featured the Broncos' induction of Demaryius Thomas into the team's Ring of Fame, though reporters flagged lingering concerns about early offensive struggles and penalties heading into Week 8 at Dallas.
