In Week 7, the Denver Broncos went three quarters with zero points in a stunning showing against the lowly New York Giants.
Then, out of nowhere, the offense burst open, and the Broncos won, 33-32, in bizarre fashion.
It was a complete 180 from the first three quarters, and the Broncos even trailed 19-0 going into the final 12 minutes of regulation.
Yet, Will Lutz kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired, just half a minute after Jaxson Dart put the Giants back on top with a rushing score.
NFL.com listed the top-five games of the season entering Christmas Day, and the showdown between the New York Giants and Broncos was at No. 4 on the list.
Here's what Brooke Cersosimo wrote about that thrilling finish.
"The Giants absolutely bullied the Broncos for three quarters, to the point that, dare I say, there was zero to little belief from almost anyone that Denver could prevail. In fact, according to Next Gen Stats, the Broncos' win probability was as low as 0.7% with 6:38 left in the game, when they were facing fourth-and-2 while down 26-8, a deficit of 18 points. And NFL teams had won 1,608 consecutive games (!) when leading by 18 points or more with less than 6 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Until this day. It was then that the Broncos flipped a switch, ultimately ripping off 33 points. The final two minutes, which featured three lead changes, deserve their own flowers. Bo Nix's 18-yard TD run gave Denver a 30-26 advantage, its first lead of the day, with 1:51 remaining. Jaxson Dart answered with an end-zone dive of his own, putting Big Blue up 32-30 with 37 seconds left. However, Giants kicker Jude McAtamney missed the PAT (the second such blown kick of the day), leaving an opening for the Broncos to drive back down, whereupon Wil Lutz took the dagger and finished the job with a 39-yard field goal as time expire."
From that point on, it really showed how special this Broncos team is, and scoring 33 points in a quarter against any NFL team is quite an accomplishment.
The Broncos-Giants game was actually tied for fourth place on the NFL.com list with the Chicago Bears' Week 17 win over the green Bay Packers in overtime also at the same spot.
With two weeks left, this Broncos-Giants game is still one to remember.
