Giants allow 33 fourth quarter points, fall to Broncos on Wil Lutz’s walk-off field goal

The New York Giants seemed on the verge of their third victory in four games, holding an 18-point lead with just six minutes left. Then the Denver Broncos staged a furious late-game rally, piling on 33 points in the fourth quarter to seal the win with Wil Lutz’s walk-off field goal.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Giants lost despite leading by 18 points late in the fourth quarter
  • Denver scored 33 fourth-quarter points
  • The game featured three lead changes
  • Wil Lutz clinched the win with a final-second field goal
  • The Giants were denied their third win in four games

The Build-Up

The Giants entered this home stretch looking to inch back into the NFC East race. After winning two of their previous three games, they appeared poised for another promising finish as they controlled much of the contest.

The Sudden Shift

With six minutes remaining, New York boasted an 18-point advantage. Yet the Broncos refused to stay down, stringing together quick drives that saw them chip away at the lead before the Giants could regroup.

Three Lead Changes

In a back-and-forth flurry, the momentum swung repeatedly in the closing minutes. The teams exchanged leads three times, creating an atmosphere of intense drama that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

The Final Kick

Ultimately, Denver’s progress came down to Wil Lutz’s foot. His walk-off field goal sealed the Broncos’ dramatic comeback, ending the game in a burst of celebration for visiting fans—and heartbreak for New York.

What It Means for the Giants

Instead of improving their record with another comeback win, the Giants were left reflecting on a critical missed opportunity. The team’s hopes to climb further in the NFC East took a hit, marking a wild turning point in their late-season campaign.
