NFL Makes Historic Announcement After 7 Weeks Played

A perfect example would be the unbelievable Week 7 matchup between the Denver Broncos and the New York Giants. Bo Nix and the Broncos put up 33 points on the board in the fourth quarter after being held scoreless in the first three quarters, marking one of the biggest comebacks in NFL history.

Denver got its first lead of the game with just 1:51 left on the clock. Nix rushed to the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown, which gave the Broncos a 30-26 lead after the extra point. The Giants battled back, though, reclaiming the lead with just 37 seconds left, 32-30. Denver, however, won it at the death with a 39-yard field goal. The game ended with the Broncos stealing away the victory, 33-32.

While no other game this season has matched the drama of the Broncos’ unprecedented comeback victory over the Giants, this contest is a good representation of how thrilling the NFL season has been thus far.

On Friday, the league announced that there have been no less than 26 games with a lead change in the final two minutes of regulation. This represents the most in NFL history through seven weeks.

“This season has been absolute cinema ” the league captioned its post.

This development brings a whole lot of excitement and drama for the fans, making this era arguably the most unpredictable in decades.

This also has major implications for teams across the league. Now more than ever, the mantra that no lead is safe has become even more relevant. Extra attention must be given to defensive and special teams performances in the final minutes. On the offensive end, teams have to be on point with their execution in two-minute type scenarios, while also avoiding penalty disasters and managing field position.

Week 8 promises to be another exhilarating round of football. The Los Angeles Chargers kicked things off with a dominant 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings on “Thursday Night Football.”

The red-hot Broncos, who have won four in a row, will look to carry their momentum in Sunday’s home game against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. That game has been billed as one of the biggest matchups of the week, and all signs are pointing to what should be another spectacle for the fans.
