Giants Blasted By NFL Fans As Jaxson Dart Can’t Save 4Q Collapse vs. Bo Nix, Broncos

Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants blew a 19-0 lead in the fourth quarter to Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos on the road with a game-winning field goal, losing 33-32. 

With the last-second loss, the Giants fell to 2-5, behind Dart, who had carried them to a 2-2 record since taking over for veteran Russell Wilson in Week 4, including an immediate win over the previously undefeated Los Angeles Chargers.

Nix finished 27-of-50 for 279 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with his former Oregon teammates Troy Franklin and RJ Harvey for scoring passes. He also ran in two touchdowns himself, adding 48 yards on the ground.

Meanwhile, Dart finished 15-of-33 for 283 yards, three touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and one interception, which proved costly in the fourth quarter.

Dart and the Giants’ defense were criticized for allowing 33 fourth-quarter points in Denver’s comeback.

Denver got off to a rough start, punting on their first four possessions and turning the ball over on downs before a Nix sack took them into halftime, trailing 13-0.

The third quarter mirrored the first half, with Denver punting on both possessions to enter the fourth quarter trailing 19-0, before the Broncos finally found the end zone to open the fourth.

Another touchdown from New York seemed to seal the game, but Denver found their rhythm, scoring on a drive and forcing an interception that led to another touchdown, cutting the deficit to three points.

Forcing a three-and-out gave Denver the ball back with 2:42 remaining, and they scored once more, going 4-of-4 for touchdowns on their fourth-quarter possessions to take a 30-26 lead. 

New York stormed down the field for a touchdown, leaving just 1:51 on the clock, but the Broncos executed a perfect two-minute drill to win the game on a field goal.

The Giants’ schedule does not ease up as they travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday.
