The Denver Broncos (4-2) return home to Empower Field at Mile High after sweeping their two-game road trip, and welcome the suddenly surging New York Giants (2-4) this Sunday afternoon.
The Giants, after losing their first three games this season, have won two of the last three with rookie Jaxson Dart under center. The Broncos have won three straight and are 2-0 at home this season.
Here are six things to know before Sunday’s Week 7 kickoff.
The series
The Broncos hold a 7-6 advantage (4-2 at home) in the all-time series against the Giants, which began in 1972. Denver’s seven-game home win streak over Big Blue is the league’s longest active streak.
The Giants and Denver have faced each other just twice over the past decade, with the Broncos winning the most recent meeting in 2021, 27-13, at MetLife Stadium.
The clubs have met once in the postseason, in Super Bowl XXI in 1987. The Giants won, 39-20.
The Broncos’ season so far…
Denver is coming off a 13-11 victory over the winless New York Jets in London. Their other wins have come against Tennessee, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia.
Their losses are to the Los Angeles Chargers (by one point) and the Indianapolis Colts (by three points), both on the road.
The Giants to date…
Big Blue is coming off an upset win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, 34-17, at home on Thursday Night Football. Their only other win this year was against the Chargers at home, 21-18, in Week 4.
Their four losses have come against Washington, Dallas, and New Orleans on the road and to Kansas City at home.
The Giants’ rookie duo is having a moment
The Giants’ offense is buoyed by two rookies, quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo, who have made a splash with both their production and their swagger. Last week, Dart became only the third quarterback in NFL history (Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson) since 1950 to record 50-plus rush yards in each of his first three career starts.
Skattebo racked up 110 total yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns last week against Philadelphia and ranks second among NFL rookies with 493 scrimmage yards. He is the only rookie with 100-plus scrimmage yards in three games in 2025.
Return of the Orange Crush
The Denver defense is cooking this season. They are ranked second overall in points and yards allowed and are in the top 10 in six other major defensive statistical categories.
Their pass rush is on a historic pace. Led by linebacker Nik Bonitto with 8.0 sacks, the Broncos lead the NFL with 30.0 sacks in their first six contests, putting them on a pace for 85 this season. That would far surpass the NFL single-season mark of 72 set by the 1985 Chicago Bears.
Wan’Dale stepping up
With star wide receiver Malik Nabers out for the season with a torn ACL, the Giants need their other receivers to fill the massive void left by his absence. Fourth-year wideout Wan’Dale Robinson is doing his part so far.
Robinson has 29 catches for 351 yards and two touchdowns, and his 12 receptions on third down are the fourth-most in the NFL behind only heavyweights such as Puka Nacua (14), Keenan Allen, and Courtland Sutton (13 each).
In the Giants’ Week 6 win over Philly, Robinson led the Giants in receiving with six receptions for 84 yards and a score — a 35-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter. He is one of five NFL players this season with multiple receiving touchdowns of 30 or more yards (2).
