Nix and Tricks: GM Haas Rides Bo Nix's Generational Comeback to Victory Over GM Salomone

In the most thrilling finish of Week 7, GM Haas's "Nix with Dicks" squad rode one of the most spectacular comebacks in NFL history to defeat GM Salomone's "Maye I Have Some Lamb" 142.26-117.58. What appeared headed for disaster became a fourth-quarter miracle that will be talked about for years to come.

The headline? Bo Nix's historic 33-point fourth quarter that propelled Colby Haas to victory in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.

The Bo Nix Show: From Shutout to Shootout

Let's be clear: this matchup was all about Bo Nix. The Denver quarterback didn't just have a good game—he orchestrated one of the greatest comebacks in recent NFL memory, the kind of performance that gets immortalized in fantasy football lore and replayed in group chat highlight reels until the end of time.

Bo Nix's Final Line: 39.96 Fantasy Points

• 27/50 passing, 279 yards, 2 passing TDs

• 2 two-point conversions

• 5 carries, 48 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs

But those numbers don't tell the story. They don't capture the drama, the desperation, or the sheer audacity of what Denver accomplished on Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants.

For three quarters, this game was a disaster. Denver was completely shutout, trailing 19-0 as the fourth quarter began. Bo Nix struggled to move the ball effectively. The Broncos' offense looked lifeless, incompetent, dead in the water. GM Haas watched in horror as his quarterback—his 40-point savior—appeared headed for a catastrophic fantasy dud.

The projections shifted. The win probability plummeted. This was the kind of moment that haunts fantasy managers—when your star player is getting obliterated and you can feel the loss slipping away.

And then the fourth quarter happened.

33 Points in 15 Minutes: The Greatest Quarter in Fantasy History

What followed was nothing short of miraculous. Denver scored 33 unanswered points in the final 15 minutes, recording touchdowns on their last five consecutive drives. It was a complete and total offensive explosion that transformed a blowout loss into a last-second victory—and turned Bo Nix from fantasy zero to fantasy hero.

Early Fourth Quarter: Troy Franklin caught a tipped pass for a 2-yard touchdown, cutting the deficit to 19-8. Denver was alive.

Giants Answer: New York extended their lead to 26-8 on a bizarre tipped ball touchdown to tight end Theo Johnson. It looked like the comeback was dead on arrival.

Nix Takes Over: This is when Bo Nix decided he'd had enough. He led a scoring drive capped by a 7-yard rushing touchdown—the first of his two rushing scores. Then R.J. Harvey punched in another short touchdown. Then Nix did it again, keeping the ball himself and racing 18 yards into the end zone to give Denver a stunning 30-26 lead with under two minutes remaining.

The impossible was happening. A 19-0 shutout had become a 30-26 Broncos lead. GM Haas was losing his mind watching the comeback unfold.

Giants Strike Back: Rookie QB Jaxson Dart scored from the 1-yard line with just 37 seconds remaining, putting the Giants up 32-30. But kicker Jude McAtamney missed his second extra point of the day, leaving the door cracked open.

The Final Drive: With 37 seconds and no timeouts, Bo Nix took the field needing a field goal to win. What happened next was surgical precision: Nix drove Denver 56 yards in 35 seconds, completing quick strikes and getting out of bounds to stop the clock. With time expiring, Wil Lutz stepped up and drilled a 39-yard field goal as the clock hit zero.

Final score: Denver 33, New York Giants 32.

"I've never seen anything like that in my fantasy career," Haas said, still in disbelief hours after the game. "We were getting shut out for three quarters. I thought I was cooked. And then Bo Nix just goes absolutely nuclear and scores 33 points in one quarter. Two rushing touchdowns, two two-point conversions, and a game-winning drive. That's legendary."

The two rushing touchdowns. The two two-point conversions. The 48 rushing yards. The 279 passing yards. The game-winning drive with no timeouts. It was a complete, generational performance that will be remembered as one of the single greatest fantasy QB outings in RosnerESPN league history—not just because of the points, but because of the story.

The Supporting Cast Steps Up

While Bo Nix stole the show, GM Haas's supporting cast provided the depth scoring necessary to build—and hold—a comfortable lead.

A.J. Brown of Philadelphia delivered an elite WR1 performance with 28.10 points, catching four of six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' victory over Minnesota. Brown's ability to turn short receptions into explosive plays has made him one of fantasy's most dangerous weapons.

Tucker Kraft, Green Bay's tight end, contributed 16.80 points on five receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown against Arizona. His chemistry with Jordan Love has been a revelation this season, and Haas has benefited greatly from his consistent TE1 production.

DJ Moore of Chicago added 8.20 points with one carry for nine yards and three receptions for 43 yards against New Orleans—not a boom performance, but solid complementary scoring.

Kimani Vidal and Chuba Hubbard provided modest RB production, combining for 15.00 points. Neither exploded, but in a week where your QB scores 40 and your defense scores 25, you don't need heroics from your running backs.

Cooper Kupp, now playing for Seattle, had a bizarre stat line: 0 for 1 passing with an interception, plus one reception for 32 yards for 2.20 points. His flex performance was the one blemish on Haas's lineup.

But the second hero—beyond Bo Nix—was the Cleveland defense. In an absolute dismantling of Miami, the Browns posted 25.00 fantasy points: three interceptions, a defensive touchdown, four sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and just six points allowed. It was a dominant performance that provided the cushion Haas needed.

Jake Bates added 7.00 points with a 50+ yard field goal for Detroit, rounding out Haas's scoring.

Salomone's Respectable Effort

GM Salomone's "Maye I Have Some Lamb" squad entered the week as a heavy underdog with just a 1% win probability, and while he couldn't pull off the upset, his team fought valiantly.

Drake Maye, the New England rookie, posted a very respectable 23.08 points in a road victory over Tennessee. The young quarterback completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns while adding eight carries for 62 yards. It was an efficient, mistake-free performance—but it fell 17 points short of Bo Nix's heroics.

CeeDee Lamb delivered WR1 production with 22.00 points, catching five of eight targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Dallas's blowout of Washington. Lamb remains one of the league's most consistent fantasy producers.

Jaylen Warren of Pittsburgh provided workhorse production: 19.80 points on 16 carries for 127 yards and four receptions for 31 yards. His performance against Cincinnati was excellent—it just wasn't enough.

Ladd McConkey added 15.70 points on nine receptions for 67 yards for the Chargers, showcasing quality PPR volume. Drake London contributed 8.20 points with four catches for 42 yards for Atlanta.

But Salomone's Achilles' heel was Saquon Barkley. The star running back managed just 5.20 points on 18 carries for 44 yards and one reception for negative two yards. For a player of Barkley's caliber and draft capital, that performance was devastating.

Hunter Fannin at tight end contributed 7.60 points on four receptions for 36 yards for Cleveland. The Philadelphia defense delivered 11.00 points with two interceptions, two sacks, and a defensive touchdown against Minnesota. Wil Lutz ("Big Nuttiam Luttiam") added 5.00 points.

The Margin Makers

When you break down this matchup, two positions proved decisive:

Quarterback: Nix (39.96) vs. Maye (23.08) = +16.88 for Haas
This was the ballgame. Nix's historic fourth-quarter performance created an insurmountable lead.

Defense: Cleveland (25.00) vs. Philadelphia (11.00) = +14.00 for Haas
Cleveland's demolition of Miami provided the second-biggest positional advantage.

The quarterback and defense positions combined for a 30-point swing in Haas's favor—more than the entire margin of victory.

The Legacy of Bo Nix's Comeback

What makes Bo Nix's performance so special isn't just the fantasy points—though 39.96 is certainly spectacular. It's the how. It's overcoming a 19-0 shutout. It's 33 points in 15 minutes. It's five consecutive scoring drives. It's two rushing touchdowns and two two-point conversions. It's a game-winning drive with 37 seconds and no timeouts.

As Haas put it best: "Nix with Dicks? More like Nix with Big Dick Energy. That was legendary."

Looking Ahead

For GM Haas, this victory improves his record to 3-4, keeping playoff hopes alive. More importantly, it provides the kind of "we just witnessed something special" energy that can propel a team through the stretch run.

For GM Salomone, falling to 2-5 makes the road difficult. But Drake Maye is developing into a legitimate fantasy QB1, and if Saquon Barkley can rediscover his form, the roster has the pieces to compete.

But Week 7 will always belong to Bo Nix. His fourth-quarter comeback stands alone—a historic performance that propelled GM Haas to victory and etched itself into RosnerESPN Fantasy League folklore.
