Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos almost blew a 19-point comeback Sunday afternoon. Somehow, they walked away with a 33-32 win over the New York Giants.
After trailing for much of the game, the Broncos came alive and scored 22 unanswered points to jump ahead late at Mile High Stadium. Quarterback Bo Nix rushed for an 18-yard touchdown with 1:51 remaining to put the Broncos up 30-26.
Dart then had a short touchdown run with just 31 seconds left. Kicker Jude McAtamney missed his second extra point of the day, however, leaving the Giants up by just two points.
That miss left the door open for the Broncos, who crossed midfield almost immediately and a field goal give the Broncos the wild one-point win.
In the end, the Broncos scored all 33 points in the final quarter. Each of their scoring drives took less than a minute of game time.
Dart, who has given the Giants a jolt of life since taking over the starting job for Russell Wilson, went 15-of-33 passing for 283 yards with three touchdowns in the loss. He threw a bad interception late, which set up a 2-yard touchdown pass from Nix to R.J. Harvey to cut the score to 26-23 with 3:51 left.
