"The low sun betrayed the warmth's incongruence for the time of year, and warned of the inevitable approach of winter. It was a lovely day to be alive, a lovely day to be outside and not watching your two-win football team. It was a day instead to bike a couple of loops of the park, which was itself an excuse to be near the fruit stand selling the apple cider slushie your friend has raved about but which you haven't yet tried."
"It had been 19-0. "We were fucking killing them," said New York cornerback Dru Phillips. I was pleased, the Giants were confident, and Brian Daboll had job security. We all proved very foolish to think so. By scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter-the most any team has scored in 15 years-and, more amazingly, doing it after being shut out over the first three quarters, the Broncos pulled off an improbable, last-second 33-32 win."
A fan biked to the park to buy an apple cider slushie but found the fruit stand gone and returned home. The fan turned on the television and saw the New York Giants leading 19-0, generating confidence and apparent job security for coach Brian Daboll. The Denver Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter—the most by any team in 15 years—erasing a three-quarter shutout and winning 33-32. Quarterback Bo Nix rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two more on his last four complete drives. The Broncos earned credit for the comeback, while the Giants continued a pattern of losing improbable leads.
