It felt like the Giants had the Broncos sorted for most of the game. The front seven constantly raised their hands to block Nix's passes. The much-touted defense made stupid mistakes, giving New York the lead.

The fourth quarter completely turned the game around.

Nix opened the fourth quarter with an eight-play, 78-yard touchdown drive that led to Tony Franklin's touchdown on an inverted pass. The Giants responded with a Jackson Dart touchdown to Theo Johnson, who also caught a ricocheted ball off the hands of Wan'Dale Robinson.

But Nix went on a 13-play, 74-yard drive that ended with Nix's rushing touchdown. Denver was down 10 points with 5:13 left in the game. The Broncos needed to make a mistake on defense, and they got it done. Justin Strnad intercepted Dart to put Denver back in scoring position.

Four plays later, the Nix found RJ Harvey for a 2-yard touchdown pass, cutting the deficit to three points. The Broncos forced a three-and-out from the Giants, which led to Nix running for an 18-yard touchdown to take the lead.

Dart responded with a seven-play, 65-yard kickoff return that ended with a goal-line touchdown. He implored his teammates to win the game, but the Giants' defense was unable to generate any semblance of a defensive stop.

The Knicks found Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton quickly move the ball across the field. He managed to kick the game-winning 39-yard field goal to Will Lutz.

It was a real miracle at Mile High.

Nix was 27 of 50 with 279 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns. Sutton finished 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. The Broncos defense largely kept him out of the pocket. The loss was more demoralizing than being limited to just 11 yards.
