THE GAME:
The Giants opened the scoring with a 44-yard touchdown pass from QB Jaxson Dart to TE Daniel Bellinger.
The 44-yard reception was the longest of Bellinger's career and the longest touchdown catch by a Giants tight end since TE Evan Engram caught a 75-yard touchdown at Tampa Bay on 9/22/2019.
QB Jaxson Dart found RB Cam Skattebo on a 13-yard pass to give the Giants a 13-0 lead with 8:46 remaining in the second quarter. K Jude McAtamney missed the PAT.
RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. added to the Giants' lead after a 31-yard touchdown run. The Giants attempted a two-point conversion but failed. The Giants led 19-0 with 2:41 left in the third quarter.
The 31-yard rush was the longest rushing attempt by the Giants this season.
Denver found the end zone in the fourth quarter on a 2-yard touchdown pass to WR Troy Franklin. The Broncos successfully converted on the 2-point attempt, making it a 19-8 game.
Dart responded with a 41-yard touchdown pass to TE Theo Johnson, giving the Giants a 26-8 advantage with 10:14 left in the game.
QB Bo Nix cut into the Giants' lead on a 7-yard rushing touchdown. Nix then found WR Troy Franklin on the 2-point attempt, cutting into the Giants' lead, 26-16.
Denver found the end zone again by way of a 2-yard touchdown pass from Nix to RB RJ Harvey, making it 26-23.
Denver took the lead on an 18-yard rushing touchdown by Nix, giving the Broncos a 30-26 advantage.
The Giants bounced back after a seven-play, 65-yard drive that ended in a one-yard rushing touchdown by QB Jaxson Dart. The Giants owned a 32-30 lead after McAtamney missed the extra point.
The Broncos kicked a 39-yard field goal as time expired to win, 33-32.

NOTES TO KNOW:
OLB Brian Burns produced 4 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, 2 quarterback hits and 1 pass defensed.
Burns moved his season sack total to 9.0. It is the seventh straight season that Burns has recorded 7.5+ sacks. He is the eighth player in NFL history to begin his career with seven consecutive seasons of 7.5+ sacks, joining Yannick Ngakoue (seven seasons), Aaron Donald (eight), Ryan Kerrigan (eight), DeMarcus Ware (eight), Jared Allen (10), Derrick Thomas (10) and Reggie White (14).
Burns recorded 2.0 sacks in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He is the first Giant since Olivier Vernon (2.0 sacks at Cleveland, 11/27/2016 and 2.0 sacks at Pittsburgh, 12/4/2016) to have multiple sacks in two straight contests.
Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, Burns is the fourth Giant to total 9.0 or more sacks through the first seven games in a season (also Dexter Lawrence II, 9.0 sacks in 2024, Michael Strahan, 12.5 sacks in 2001 and Leonard Marshall, 11.5 sacks in 1985).
QB Jaxson Dart finished 15-of-33 passing for 283 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. He also rushed 5 times for 11 yards and 1 touchdown.
He is the first Giants rookie quarterback to throw 3+ touchdowns and rush for 1+ touchdown since Charlie Conerly threw for 3 touchdowns and rushed for another on 11/21/1948 at Green Bay.
Dart is the third rookie quarterback since 2000 to be responsible for 10 touchdowns in his first four career starts, joining Justin Herbert (10 touchdowns) and DeShaun Watson (13 touchdowns).
TE Daniel Bellinger caught 3 passes for 88 yards and 1 touchdown and TE Theo Johnson hauled in 3 catches for 66 yards and 1 touchdown.
Bellinger scored on a 44-yard reception and Johnson scored on a 41-yard reception. This season, only three tight ends have scored on pass plays of 40+ yards and the Giants own two of those three (also Pittsburgh TE Pat Freiermuth, 68-yard touchdown).
Since at least 2000, no other team has had two different tight ends record touchdown catches of 40+ yards in the same game.
The Giants became the first team in the NFL this season to score 3 touchdowns of 30+ yards in a single game (Bellinger's 44-yard touchdown, Johnson's 41-yard touchdown and RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 31-yard rushing touchdown).
