Tommy DeVito’s rise to stardom could have come straight out of a Disney script, complete with the lovable Italian family and an agent with a personality as verbose as his wardrobe.
But after the Giants signed Drew Lock to a one-year contract on Tuesday, could this be the end of DeVito’s time with Big Blue?
Tommy DeVito threw a 32-yard pass to Wan’Dale Robinson to set up Randy Bullock’s 37-yard field goal as time expired as the New York Giants beat Green Bay 24-22 on Monday night to hand the Packers their first December loss since Matt LaFleur took over as coach in 2019.
The Giants went 57 yards in eight plays after Jordan Love threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Malik Heath with 1:33 remaining.
Green Bay then tried a two-point conversion but Jayden Reed was stopped by linebacker Bobby Okereke. The go-ahead drive had been set up by a Saquon Barkley fumble.
DeVito rushed for 71 yards in the third straight win for the Giants (5-8). He threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins while leading four scoring drives, two of them capped by Barkley runs of five and one yards. The Giants defense forced three turnovers on the day.
The Packers led 10-7 at halftime on Carlson’s 36-yarder with 13 seconds left. The drive was kept alive early by a 27-yard pass interference against Cor’Dale Flott.
Green Bay and New York scored touchdowns on consecutive series early in the game.
Wide receiver Reed found the end zone on a 16-yard sweep late in the first quarter, one play after Love hit running back AJ Dillon on a 35-yard pass play.
