The New York Giants came into their Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers riding a two-game winning streak and well rested following the bye week.
With a win, as crazy as it may seem, the Giants would be a game out of a playoff spot. A loss would have the Giants slated to pick 4th overall in the 2024 NFL draft.
The Packers also came in riding a winning streak of their own — a three-game winning streak where they had not turned over the ball.
Monday Night’s matchup would be different as the Giants would force three Green Bay turnovers.
In a weird and eventful game, the Giants had the lead late in the fourth quarter but the Packers were able to take advantage of a Saquon Barkley unforced fumble and score with 1:33 remaining on the clock to take a one-point lead.
However, Tommy DeVito had some late magic on the ensuing drive to put the Giants in position for the game-winning field goal to extend the Giants winning streak to three games.
Here’s how X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the win.

The #Giants are very much alive in the playoff picture. They are one game out of the seventh seed. Unreal. Tommy DeVito has turned this team around.
There's a chance …

Tommy DeVito just drove a dart to Wan’Dale Robinson who had this defender beat so clean and at this point it’s time to fully lean into Devitosanity.
That’s three in a row for DeVito & the #Giants

Saquon probably just wanted to add to the DeVito mythology with that fumble.

Tommy DeVito: No turnovers for the third straight game. Didn’t take a sack tonight, as he clearly was quicker to flee the pocket. I still don’t know quite what to make of this, but it’s certainly made things a lot more entertaining!
