Giants' Late Game Collapse Leaves Fans and Analysts Baffled

USA, DenverMon Oct 20 2025

The New York Giants found themselves on the wrong end of a historic collapse on Sunday.

A Historic Collapse

They were leading 19-0 against the Denver Broncos for three quarters. But then, something unexpected happened.

The Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone. This incredible comeback led to a 33-32 victory for Denver. It was an astonishing turn of events that left many people shaking their heads.

Stephen A. Smith's Blunt Reaction

Stephen A. Smith, a well-known sports analyst, was not shy about sharing his thoughts. He took to social media to call the Giants' performance "disgraceful."

Smith is known for his blunt opinions. He pointed out that the Giants' defense, which had been strong all game, suddenly gave up 33 points in the final quarter. To make matters worse, the Giants' kicker missed two extra points. These small mistakes added up to a big loss.

Smith's reaction was swift and public. He couldn't wait until his Monday morning show to express his dismay. Instead, he tweeted his thoughts right after the game. His post highlighted the Giants' tendency to find ways to lose games. This loss was particularly hard to swallow because of its historic nature. The Broncos' 33-point fourth quarter is now the most points ever scored in a single quarter after being shut out for the first three quarters.

Defensive Struggles and Season Impact

The Giants' defense did deserve some credit for their strong performance in the first three quarters. However, their collapse in the fourth quarter overshadowed any positive moments. The team now sits at 2-5 on the season, while the Broncos improve to 5-2.

This loss will surely be a talking point for analysts and fans alike as the season continues.
