In the fourth quarter of the game, Riley Moss was flagged for a defensive pass interference that gave the New York Giants the ball back. Trailing the game by four points (30-26), quarterback Jaxson Dart scored a rushing touchdown to help his team lead the game 30-32 with just over 30 seconds left.

However, in the dying moments, placekicker Will Lutz scored a 39-yard field goal that helped Sean Payton's team clinch the win by one point (33-32).

The Denver Broncos trailed by 19 points in the first three quarters as the offense failed to find any momentum on the field. Finally, in the fourth quarter, Bo Nix put his team on the scoreboard after finding Troy Franklin with a two-yard TD pass.

This opened the floodgates for the Broncos to take advantage of this momentum. The Giants defense ended up conceding 33 total points in just the fourth quarter. Nix ended the night completing 27 of the 50 passes he attempted for 279 yards and four total touchdowns.

Bo Nix left flabbergasted after Broncos' awe-inspiring victory over the Giants in Week 7

After the game, the Broncos quarterback had an interview with CBS sideline reporter Melanie Collins.

Nix expressed his disbelief with how his team managed to make a historic comeback in the fourth quarter in what looked like a disappointing loss for his team.

"I felt bad for the people that left early," Nix said. "A complete team effort in the fourth quarter. It was really bad there for a point. The morale was low on the sideline but guys never quit. Took a few plays and then the next thing you know, Will Lutz is kicking the game winner.

"Man, I can't believe it. I never really had one like that. So that's a first for me. I love our team."
