As the Green Bay Packers secured their third consecutive win, prevailing in four of their last five games against the Kansas City Chiefs, the New York Giants, fresh from a Week 13 bye, triumphed over the Patriots in Week 12. This sets the stage for a Monday night clash at MetLife Stadium.
The focal point of uncertainty revolves around Tommy DeVito, as the Giants prepare to face the Packers. DeVito, an undrafted rookie quarterback, emerges as a pivotal figure, creating intrigue and anticipation regarding his role in the upcoming game.
Will Tommy DeVito start for Giants?
Brian Daboll, the head coach of the New York Giants, who tried to lure Gronk back into the team, announced on Tuesday that Tommy DeVito will be the starting quarterback for the upcoming Monday night game against the Packers.
The previous starter, Tyrod Taylor, missed the last four games of the team as he was on injured reserve. However, his 21-day practice window was opened on Monday, creating uncertainty about who will be the starter in the MNF.
But the coach has emphasized that they will continue with Tommy DeVito by stating, “I just thought Tommy earned it.”
Brian Daboll shared that DeVito earned the right to start, having played two good games. Overall, DeVito has a 2-1 record as a starter and has completed 66 of 105 passes for 697 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions in five games this season.
