UPDATE: In a stunning turn of events, the Denver Broncos scored a franchise-record 33 points in the fourth quarter, clinching a dramatic 33-32 victory against the New York Giants at Empower Field on October 19, 2025. This wild finish left fans who remained in their seats euphoric, while those who left early missed one of the most exhilarating comebacks in NFL history.
After trailing by as much as 19-0 in the third quarter, the Broncos exploded with four consecutive touchdown drives in the final 14 minutes. Quarterback Bo Nix led the charge, becoming the first player in NFL history to throw two touchdown passes and rush for two touchdowns in a single fourth quarter.
The action began to unfold as time dwindled and the Broncos faced a daunting deficit. With just over 14 minutes left, they found themselves in a seemingly impossible position. However, Nix turned the tide, delivering an incredible performance that would see him rack up 220 yards—174 passing and 46 rushing—in the final quarter alone.
“I feel bad for the people that left early,” Nix said in a post-game interview. His sentiments echoed the disbelief felt by those who witnessed the miraculous comeback.
The fourth quarter was nothing short of chaotic. The Giants seemed to have the game in hand, leading by 26-8 after an impressive touchdown by their own. But the Broncos responded swiftly, with Nix orchestrating a comeback that included a critical interception by linebacker Justin Strnad, setting the stage for a thrilling finish.
As the clock wound down, Nix orchestrated a brilliant 18-yard touchdown run to put the Broncos ahead 30-26 with just 1:51 remaining. The Giants, however, were not done yet. They managed to regain the lead after a controversial drive, but missed two critical extra points that would prove decisive.
With less than a minute left, Nix completed two crucial passes, the second to wide receiver Courtland Sutton, which positioned the team for a game-winning field goal. Kicker Wil Lutz nailed a 39-yard field goal, sealing the victory in dramatic fashion.
This win places the Broncos alone atop the AFC West for the first time since 2016, marking their fourth consecutive victory and extending their home winning streak to eight games. Coach Sean Payton praised his team’s resilience, stating, “Belief is a mother—(expletive), it got us this win, for real.”
The Broncos are now poised to take on their next challenge, fully aware of the need to maintain consistency as the season progresses. Fans and analysts alike will be discussing this historic comeback for years to come, proving once again that in football, anything can happen.
As the dust settles from this thrilling game, the Broncos have shown that they can defy the odds and spark hope in their fanbase. This performance not only revitalizes their season but also solidifies Bo Nix’s status as a rising star in the league.
