The Broncos did the near-impossible on Sunday afternoon, mounting a historic comeback over the Giants to secure their fifth win of the season.

Down 19-0 with less than 15 minutes to go, Denver outscored New York 33-13 in the fourth quarter behind a four-touchdown performance by Bo Nix, a missed extra point from Giants kicker Jude McAtamney, and a clutch, last-second field goal by Will Lutz to complete the miraculous victory.

The Jaxson Dart-stunning 33 fourth-quarter points from the Broncos are the second most by any team in NFL history, trailing only a 34-point performance from the Lions—who put up 34 on the Bears in the final frame of a September contest back in 2007.

Here's a look at every team in NFL history that has scored 30+ fourth quarter points, and where the Broncos rank, courtesy of Stathead:
