First Quarter


The opening quarter set an intense pace as both teams exchanged early blows. The Giants managed to establish their ground game with Tyrone Tracy Jr. leading the charge, rushing for 46 yards and securing a touchdown on his longest run of 31 yards. However, it was Jaxson Dart's arm that truly shone, completing passes that accumulated significant yardage and kept the Big Blue in contention.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Jaxson Dart continued his aerial assault with precision passing that resulted in two touchdowns. His longest pass of 44 yards found Daniel Bellinger in stride for one of these scores. Despite this offensive prowess, Denver's defense tightened up and limited further damage by forcing an interception from Dart.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, defensive efforts from both sides took center stage. The Giants’ defense was highlighted by Brian Burns who recorded two sacks and contributed significantly to keeping Denver’s offense under pressure. Meanwhile, Dane Belton led tackles for Big Blue with six solo stops but could not prevent Denver from finding gaps in their secondary.


Fourth Quarter


Entering the fourth quarter trailing slightly behind, New York mounted a spirited comeback attempt spearheaded by Cam Skattebo’s receiving touchdown which narrowed down Denver’s lead considerably. However, despite converting all red zone opportunities into points throughout this matchup—a testament to their efficiency—the G-Men fell just short as time expired.
