Unfathomable. Miraculous. Stupendous. Magical. There are numerous ways to depict the comeback victory the Denver Broncos achieved versus the New York Giants. Although, I’m not sure any words can really give their monumental win the justice it deserves. There is an old saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Maybe that is the best way to encapsulate the Mile High Magic fans across Broncos Country witnessed Sunday afternoon.
It can take some time for a team to forge its identity. With ten games remaining for the Broncos, there is ample time and opportunity for them to write...
If you follow me on these MNF threads, you know how much I love these doubleheaders. If not, then I’ll just say I don’t love them and be nice about it.
Tonight, the only nice aspect is how the games are less likely to overlap like they have in previous prime time doubleheaders. The first will be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road against the Detroit Lions. That should be a super fun game, which means it’ll end up being a low scoring and sloppy affair. Seems to be how it goes.
The second game is much later and...
After the Denver Broncos historic comeback win over the New York Giants, inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw — like many of us fans — couldn’t let go of the fact that the officiating on the Giants final drive was horrendous and nearly cost Denver that game. He chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him.
During the altercation, threats were made and the NFL has decided to suspend Greenlaw for one game without pay. Greenlaw has already appealed.
In case you missed that final Giants drive, they called a roughing the passer penalty that looked more like incidental contact on...
The Broncos completed an improbable and historic comeback vs. the Giants on Sunday that saw them score 33 4th quarter points. However, their comeback was nearly derailed by the refs when they flagged Broncos cornerback Riley Moss for a bogus defensive pass interference call. This flag gave the Giants the ball at the 1-yard line after a personal foul penalty was called on an irate Sean Payton, who ran onto the field to argue the call. The Giants would score the go-ahead touchdown and leave the Broncos with 33 seconds and no timeouts to drive down the field for the...
The Broncos are 5-2, have won four straight games, and are coming off a historic comeback victory vs. the New York Giants. Now, with the NFL trade deadline just two weeks away, some believe the Broncos should be active buyers.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk and Chris Simms of NBC Sports believe the Broncos should be active in the trade market and look to improve their offense by trading for another wide receiver.
Courtland Sutton is the Broncos’ unquestioned number one wide receiver and Bo Nix’s most trusted target. You have a key third down or need a big...
The Denver Broncos played three quarters of woeful football at home against the New York Giants. That all changed once the fourth quarter started. What happened was a four touchdown and a 33 point explosion by the Broncos in one of the franchises greatest regular season comebacks ever. The entire team came together to make every play it needed to make to perform the comeback and if they can figure out how to perform like that in the other 3/4’s of the game, then this team could be a true contender.
Here is what our Mile High Report staff learned...
As someone who has watched the Denver Broncos since the 1980s, I am quite familiar with the aura that was Mile High Magic. We can all agree that aura has been missing for quite a few years — maybe even a full decade. Last year, I felt like maybe it was making a return in Denver under Bo Nix. Yesterday, I think there is no denying it.
Of all the comeback wins I’ve enjoyed as a Broncos fan over those decades, none was as crazy and improbable as their 33-point fourth quarter fury against the New York Giants on Sunday....
When Denver took a dip after the Peyton Manning years, fans were not happy when hallowed Broncos streaks came to a screeching halt. No back-to-back losing seasons? Gone. No shutouts since the Elway days? Gone. The Broncos had started playing football no amount of magic could rescue.
The ‘magic’ had evaporated.
When Sunday’s Broncos game against the Giants began, none of us would have ever guessed that it would become the kind of game that fans will talk about for years to come. It certainly didn’t feel that way as the scoreless quarters piled up and win probability continued to...
The Denver Broncos had themselves a cardiac comeback on Sunday in a thrilling 33-point fourth quarter to defeat the New York Giants to move to 5-2 on the season. The red hot Dallas Cowboys are coming to town next week, so the Broncos may want to perform for an entire sixty minutes against them.
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 3-point home favorites over the Cowboys in Week 8 despite their rough three quarters to start their last game. The over/under stands at 48.5 for this matchup.
Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys Sunday, October...
The Tebow comparisons to the Broncos’ 33-point comeback in the fourth quarter were out of control (but not wrong) because that game was insane.
So let’s relive the fun of that “most improbable win” through the mania that is social media.
First, of course, Broncos Country’s reactions at the end.
But now we gotta talk about that call.
You know, the horrendous DPI one that set up a Giants’ touchdown with 30 seconds to go and erased Denver’s short-lived 30-26 lead?
Yeah, that one.
But the coolest reactions were the ones that remembered this win came on “Demaryius Thomas Day,”...
Holy shit.
The Broncos were down 26-8 with 6 minutes left, and I was going to rant in here about how much this team sucked today. A lifeless effort, dumb penalties, defensive lapses, and the Giants simply taking it to them. The Broncos were about to be blown out at home by a 2-4 Giants team starting a rookie quarterback. Everything sucked, and I was miserable (check the MHR Twitter to see my rollercoaster of emotions during that one).
Then something clicked. Bo Nix turned into Tim Tebow, the magic of Demaryius Thomas filled the stadium, and somehow, the Denver...
Heading into today’s matchup against the New York Giants, the Denver Broncos had the clear energy advantage. The benefit of playing in front of a hometown crowd, the Super Bowl 50 winning team on deck to cheer them on, as well as the positive vibes of honoring Demaryius Thomas.
After three quarters, things weren’t looking so good for the Broncos. But with their backs against the wall, the Broncos embarked on a miraculous comeback to defeat the Giants 33-32. This was a wild and crazy game, so my thoughts below might be a little all over the place. Nevertheless, let’s...
