A last-gasp field goal helped the Denver Broncos pull off a miraculous fourth-quarter comeback to topple the New York Giants 33-32.

Wil Lutz’s 39-yard conversion as time expired lifted Denver’s final-quarter tally to 33 – the most fourth-quarter points scored by a team that had been shut out in the previous three quarters.

The Broncos looked on track to record their third loss of the year as they trailed 19-0 headed into the final 15 minutes, but Troy Franklin’s two-yard touchdown reception at the start of the quarter sparked the historic scoring run.

Denver found the end zone three times in the final six minutes and quarterback Bo Nix led a 56-yard drive in the final 30 seconds to put Lutz in place to secure the game-clinching score.

Nix finished the game with two passing and two rushing touchdowns, while Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart posted four touchdowns in the losing effort.
