The Giants' dormant run game is finally coming to life. The Giants broke out with 148 yards on 32 carries in last Sunday's 23-10 win over a Broncos team that was allowing an NFL-low 50.8 yards rushing per game.

Running back Orleans Darkwa was the star with 21 carries for 117 yards, highlighted by a 47-yard run early in the second quarter. It was the Giants' longest run since a 50-yard touchdown by Andre Williams on Dec. 7, 2014.

So, how did the Giants manage to break their longest run in nearly three years against the best rushing defense in the league?
