Watch: Giants’ Brian Burns Fumes After Defense Implodes in Final Quarter Against Broncos

Broncos erased a 19-0 deficit to beat the Giants 33-32, scoring 33 fourth-quarter points. Betting takeaway: avoid backing the Giants to protect late leads; consider live bets on Broncos fourth-quarter scoring, QB rushing TD props for Bo Nix, and late-game field-goal or under/over fourth-quarter totals in similar matchups.

Broncos Stage Historic Fourth-Quarter Comeback to Beat Giants 33-32

The Denver Broncos produced one of the most dramatic finishes of the season, rallying from a 19-0 deficit to stun the New York Giants 33-32 at home. A furious fourth-quarter surge, capped by a 39-yard game-winning field goal, completed a comeback that will linger for both locker rooms.

Game recap: Giants build lead, Broncos rally

The Giants started fast. Quarterback Jaxson Dart connected with tight end Daniel Bellinger to open the scoring and later found running back Cam Skattebo on a tight pass that helped build an early advantage. A 31-yard rushing touchdown by Tyrone Tracy extended the lead into the second half, and a rookie tight end added a score that made the Giants look in control.

Denver, however, refused to fold. Quarterback Bo Nix cut into the deficit with a touchdown pass early in the fourth, then scrambled for two rushing touchdowns as the game slipped away from New York. A two-yard score set up Denver’s first lead with under two minutes remaining, only for Dart to surge through the Broncos’ defense on a contested play that was initially ruled short and then overturned after review. The Giants regained the lead, but missed extra-point attempts proved costly. Denver drove into range and Wil Lutz drilled a 39-yard field goal to secure a 33-32 victory.

Key plays and turning points

Giants momentum in the first three quarters gave way in the fourth when Denver turned up the pressure and leaned on Nix’s mobility. Two sacks by the Giants’ pass rusher were highlights, but the collapse was defined by Denver’s relentless fourth-quarter scoring and New York’s missed kicking opportunities late in the game.

Brian Burns: performance and reaction

The Giants’ pass rusher delivered a strong individual performance, recording two sacks and increasing his season total to nine. He finished the night with 23 solo tackles, nine sacks and a forced fumble on the campaign. Still, emotion ran high after the loss. “You can’t play three quarters of amazing defense or great defense and give it all away in the end. That’s just shooting yourself in the foot,” he said, reflecting the locker-room frustration.

Stat lines and standings impact

Denver’s comeback pushed them to 5-2 and up toward the top of the AFC West. The Broncos became only the third team since 1991 to muster 33 or more points in a single fourth quarter, a reminder of how quickly momentum can swing in the NFL.

Betting implications and what punters should consider

This game underlines several betting lessons: - Avoid aggressive pregame backing of teams with shaky late-game kicking units; missed extra points swung the result here. - In-match (live) markets can be valuable when a mobile quarterback like Bo Nix is mounting a comeback; backing fourth-quarter scoring lines or team-to-score-in-quarter props may yield better returns than static moneylines. - Consider QB rushing TD props and late-game field-goal market exposures when a game remains within one score entering the fourth. - Expect higher fourth-quarter totals in matchups featuring opportunistic offenses and vulnerable second-half defenses; adjust total and quarter bets accordingly.

Bookmakers and bettors will study the fourth-quarter swing closely; teams that can generate late momentum and have reliable kickers gain an edge in tight games.

Brian Burns crashed out inside the Mile High tunnel after the final whistle on Sunday. His New York Giants gave up 30+ points against the Denver Broncos in the fourth quarter.
