It felt like the Giants had the Broncos figured out for most of the game. The front seven continually raised their hands to block Nix’s passes. The highly touted defense was making silly mistakes, leading to New York taking a huge lead.
The last quarter turned the game around completely.
Nix began the fourth quarter by finishing an eight-play, 78-yard touchdown drive that led to a Tony Franklin touchdown on a slant pass. The Giants responded with a touchdown from Jaxson Dart to Theo Johnson, who also caught a ball that bounced off Wan’Dale Robinson’s hands.
But Nix followed with a 13-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a Nix rushing touchdown. Denver trailed by 10 points with 5:13 left in the game. The Broncos needed to force a mistake on defense and they got their wish. Justin Strnad intercepted Dart and put Denver back in scoring position.

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 to go three and out and that would result in Nix running for an 18-yard touchdown to take the lead.
Dart responded with a seven-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a goal-line touchdown run. He implored his teammates to win the game, but the Giants defense failed to make anything resembling a defensive stop.
Nix found Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton quickly to move the ball upfield. He was able to set up a 39-yard game-winning field goal by Will Lutz.
It was truly a miracle at Mile High.
Nix was 27-for-50 with 279 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns. Sutton finished with six receptions for 87 yards. Mims had six catches for 85 yards.

Dart was 15-for-33 with 283 passing yards, three touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown. The Broncos defense prevented him from getting out of the pocket. The loss was more demoralizing than being limited to just 11 rushing yards.
Denver improved to 5-2 on the year. New York fell to 2-5.
