After taking over as the starter to little fanfare ahead of Week 10, Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito’s time in the spotlight reached a fever pitch Monday night following his team’s win over the Packers.
With New York trailing 22–21 with 1:33 to play, DeVito completed four consecutive passes, including a 32-yard dime to receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, to help set up a 37-yard Randy Bullock field goal to win it for the Giants as time expired.
The eight-play, 57-yard game-winning drive marked the first such series of DeVito’s young career in what was also his prime time debut, placing the rookie QB at the center of the Giants’ crucial upset in front of a national audience.
