It felt like the Giants had the Broncos under control for most of the game. The front seven constantly raised their hands to block Nix’s passes. The vaunted defense made stupid mistakes that led to New York jumping out to a huge lead.
The fourth quarter turned the game completely on its head.
Nix began the fourth quarter with an eight-play, 78-yard touchdown drive that resulted in a Tony Franklin touchdown after a tipped pass. The Giants responded with a touchdown from Jaxson Dart to Theo Johnson, who also caught a bounced ball off the hands of Wan’Dale Robinson.
But Nix followed up with a 13-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a Nix touchdown. Denver trailed by 10 points with 5:13 to play. The Broncos had to force a mistake on defense and they got their wish. Justin Strnad intercepted Dart and put Denver back in scoring position.

COMMANDERS’ JAYDEN DANIELS SUFFERED AN UPPER VISION INJURY AGAINST COWBOYS
Four plays later, Nix found RJ Harvey for a 2-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to three points. The Broncos forced the Giants into a three-and-out, which led to Nix rushing for an 18-yard touchdown to take the lead.
Dart rebounded with a seven-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a goal-line touchdown run. He pleaded with his teammates to win the game, but the Giants defense failed to create even a semblance of a defensive stop.
Nothing found Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton quickly to move the ball across the field. He was able to score a game-winning 39-yard field goal from Will Lutz.
It was truly a miracle at Mile High.
Nix was 27 of 50 with 279 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns. Sutton finished the game with six catches for 87 yards. Mims had six catches for 85 yards.

Dart was 15 of 33 with 283 passing yards, three touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown. For the most part, the Broncos defense kept him from getting out of the pocket. The loss was more demoralizing than being limited to 11 rushing yards.
