Giants upset Broncos for first win

The New York Giants are looking for their first win of the season as they traveled to Denver to take on the Broncos. The Giants would be without several players, including wideouts Odell Beckham Jr and Brandon Marshall who are both out for the season. The Broncos looked to get to 4-1 on the season and get within a half game of first place in the AFC West. Who would come out on top? Will the Giants get their first win or will Denver get to 4-1 on the year? Let get to it! The Broncos would start with the ball and would go three and out to start the game. The Giants would face a third and six and Eli Manning would go to Evan Engram for 11 yards and a fresh set of downs. On second and 8, Manning would find Orleans Darkwa for 13 and into Denver territory. Manning would find Adams for six yards on second and 5 for another first down. On a second and 9, Manning would find Engram for 26 for a first and goal at the 8. The Broncos defense would keep the Giants out of the end zone and hold them to a Rosa 25 yard field goal and would lead 3-0 with 6:58 remaining in the first quarter. The Giants would get another Denver three and out. The Denver defense would get a three and out on the next drive. On the next Denver possession, Trevor Siemian would go to Emmanuel Sanders for 33 on a second and 8 to the Denver 22. The Giants would hold them to a field goal attempt by Brandon McManus and would miss the field goal. The Giants would face a third and 5 as the first quarter came to an end. A false start would back the Giants to a third and 10 and Manning would go to Roger Lewis for 15. Darkwa would go for 47 yards on the next play to the Denver 13 yard line. On third and 2, Manning would go for Engram for a five yard score. The PAT would make 10-0 with 12:30 remaining in the second quarter. CJ Anderson would go for two yards on a second and 2. On the next set of downs, they would face a third and 7 and the Giants would get called for pass interference. On third and 10, Siemian's pass would be intercepted by Landon Collins and returned to their own 35. The Giants were unable to capitalize as they would go three and out once again. On the Denver possession, Siemian would go to Virgil Green for 24 to their own  49. They would face a third and 9 and Siemian would go to Demaryius Thomas for 40 to the Giants 10 yard line. The Giants would hold them to a 28 yard field goal by Brandon McManus. The Denver defense would get another three and out. The Broncos would face a third and 9 and Siemian would run for nine yards for the first down. They would face a third and 10 and Siemian would get picked off by Janoris Jenkins and returned 43 yards for the touchdown. The PAT would make it 17-3 Giants with 48 seconds left and that is how it was as we headed to halftime. The Giants would get the second half kickoff and on the first play of the drive, Darkwa would go 14 for a first down but that was all the Giants could get and they would be forced to punt. Siemian started off with an 11 yard pass to Sanders for 11 but the Broncos couldn't move the chains anymore and would punt the ball once again. On the Giants possession, Manning would find Engram for 21 on second and 8. The Giants failed to move the ball anymore and the Broncos would hold them to a 51 yard attempt and Rosa would make it and lead 20-3 with 8:08 remaining in the third quarter. Each team would trade possessions where they would get enough for a field goal attempt and each attempt was blocked. Siemian would find Sanders for eight yards on a second and 7 but Denver would face a fourth and 5 as the third quarter came to an end and would go for it at the start of the fourth quarter and Siemian would find Thomas for the first down but would fumble and the Giants would recover. The Giants once again couldn't capitalize as they would three and out again. Siemian would find Booker for 17 on second and 10. On second and 2, Siemian would find Thomas for 21 yards. They would go for it on fourth down and 16 and the Giants would get called for pass interference. The Broncos would go for it on fourth and goal at the 1 and the Giants would stuff CJ Anderson to get a turnover on downs. The Giants would get the ball at their own 1 and Darkwa would go 15 yards for a first down for more comfort but that was all they could muster as the Giants would punt once again. Siemian would go to Booker for 23 on second down then go to Taylor for 11. Siemian would go to Heuerman for a 13 yard touchdown. The PAT would cut the lead to 20-10 with 4:07 left. The Broncos would try for an onside kick and wouldn't be able to recover it. The Giants would get a field goal by Rosas to make it 23-10.
That would be the final score as the Giants stunned the Denver Broncos 23-10.

Thoughts on the game: Well, the Giants went out and surprised everyone by beating the Broncos without their top three receivers and several key players on their defense out. The defense forced three Denver turnovers. Orleans Darkwa had a great game on the ground for the Giants. He went for 117 yards.
