The Denver Broncos pulled off a stunning Week 7 comeback, rallying from a 0-19 deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the New York Giants 33-32. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart threw a late interception and summed it up in three words.

“That s–t’s unacceptable,” the rookie quarterback said, talking about his interception. “My feet got a little stuck on the ground. I’ve got to be way better than that.” And honestly, he wasn’t wrong. But he also wasn’t the reason they lost.

Dart still threw for 283 yards and totaled four touchdowns, putting together one of his most composed performances yet. For three quarters, he handled Denver’s hyped-up defense like a seasoned vet, sliding in the pocket and buying time even when the Broncos’ pass rush came at him with numbers.

Then came the turning point. With New York up by 10 and under five minutes to play, Dart tried to squeeze a short throw to his tight end, Johnson. Linebacker Justin Strnad read it perfectly, snatched it, and took it back 21 yards. The Broncos capitalized almost instantly, punching it in for a touchdown to make it a three-point game.

To Jaxson Dart’s credit, he didn’t fold. He came right back with a seven-play, 65-yard drive that ended in a short touchdown run, putting the Giants back on top 32-30. But, well, we all know how that ended. After the game, even the Broncos head coach Sean Payton praised the rookie’s effort.

“They found a little spark with that quarterback,” he said. Is that also a shade at Russell Wilson? Maybe. But there’s only so much you can do when the other team has all the momentum in the world to pull off a historic comeback. Because that’s exactly what it was. It was historic.

Broncos pull off historic comeback

Think about this: with 6:38 left, down 26-8, Denver’s win probability sat at 0.7%. Practically zero. Yet somehow, Bo Nix and the Broncos pull it off. It was one of the most improbable victories of the Next Gen Stats era.

According to Next Gen, it was not only the most unlikely win of the 2025 season, but the eighth-most improbable since 2016.

The last few minutes were absolute chaos. With 1:51 to play, Nix scrambled 18 yards for a touchdown to give Denver a 30-26 lead. Dart answered right back, marching down the field and punching it in from 1 yard out to reclaim the lead with just 37 seconds left. It felt over at the time, really did.

That’s when Nix calmly drove the Broncos into field-goal range, setting up Wil Lutz for a 39-yard game-winner as time expired. Ballgame. Broncos 33, Giants 32.

To put it in perspective: before tonight, 1,602 straight teams had won when leading by 18 or more points with six minutes left. None of them had ever seen a team score 33 fourth-quarter points after being shut out through three quarters. Ever.

It was truly historic. As Wil Lutz’s kick went through, Jaxson Dart stood on the sideline, hand over his mouth, stunned and trying to process the loss, just like every Giants fan.
