The Broncos defeated the Giants, 33-32, on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High. Here are three takeaways from the home win:

Comeback kids

The Broncos trailed 26-8 with 10 minutes left in regulation and found a way to win. Quarterback Bo Nix rushed for a short touchdown with a successful 2-point conversion. Denver got the ball back, quickly, when inside linebacker Justin Strnad intercepted Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart. Denver followed it up with a Nix touchdown pass to running back RJ Harvey. The Broncos took the lead, 30-26, on their next series when Nix rushed in for another score. Dart led a go-ahead touchdown drive with under a minute left in the fourth quarter. But Denver mustered one last drive to get into field goal range. Kicker Wil Lutz nailed the game-winner from 39 yards out. 

Bolles near TD

The Broncos trailed, 13-0, late in the second quarter when starting left tackle Garett Bolles nearly caught a touchdown pass. Bolles was declared eligible as the swing tackle on a second-and-goal play and ran wide open into the end zone. But the pass from Nix was tipped at the line of scrimmage and fell incomplete as Bolles dove toward the football. It got worse two plays later. The Broncos failed to convert a fourth down and came up with no points on their most promising drive of the first half. Plenty of home fans booed when Denver players ran into the tunnel.

Greenlaw debut

Dre Greenlaw made his Broncos debut against the Giants. The veteran inside linebacker dealt with a quad injury dating back to the spring and was put on injured reserve in late September. Greenlaw ramped up his practice participation last week and started on Sunday. He combined for a tackle with safety Brandon Jones on the first play of the game. Greenlaw and Justin Strnad alternated snaps throughout the afternoon. Greenlaw likely needs more time in defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s system to flourish. But he’s got positive momentum now after a challenging early season.
