Broncos set two NFL records in stunning comeback win over Giants: How Denver rewrote the record book
The Broncos broke a record that had been held by the 1981 Atlanta Falcons, who got shut out for three quarters by the Green Bay Packers before scoring 31 in the final quarter. The Broncos and Falcons are the only two teams in NFL history to score at least 30 points after scoring zero in the first three quarters.
The Broncos trailed 19-0 going into the fourth quarter and they were down 26-8 with fewer than six minutes remaining, before coming back to win 33-32. Denver quarterback Bo Nix threw two touchdown passes and ran for two touchdowns in the final quarter, becoming the first player in NFL history to accomplish such a feat. You gotta bolieve.
The Jaxson Dart-stunning 33 fourth-quarter points from the Broncos are the second most by any team in NFL history, trailing only a 34-point performance from the Lions—who put up 34 on the Bears in the final frame of a September contest back in 2007.
The Broncos' wild comeback, which included 33 points scored in the fourth quarter, improved Denver's season record to 5-2 and kept Sean Payton's squad perfect (3-0) at home during the 2025 campaign. Brian Daboll's Giants, meanwhile, fell to 2-5 with an 0-4 road record thanks to the squandered lead.
Joseph was hired by Sean Payton as defensive coordinator in January of 2023. That year's defense under Joseph was streaky, but it had tremendous success taking the ball away, which gave the Broncos a fighting chance down the stretch. Denver would ultimately squander it, but the defense did a lot of heavy lifting.
The late Demaryius Thomas, a former All-Pro wide receiver for the Denver Broncos and one of their greatest players of the 2010s, was officially inducted into the franchise's Ring of Fame during their Week 7 matchup against the New York Giants.
