Disheartening times for the Giants and undrafted quarterback Tommy DeVito, as they faced a crushing defeat against the New Orleans Saints with 24 to six. Despite the tough game, DeVito’s Italian flair and resilience have escalated him from the third-string quarterback to a fan-favorite in just five games.
DeVito's resilience was in full view during the game as he took seven sacks from the robust Saint's defensive line and still returned in the third quarter, having been evaluated for a suspected concussion. Contributing to his popularity is DeVito’s signature Italian hand gesture, now well-recognized by fans, and a symbol that’s being used to taunt him by his opposition. However, DeVito plays along, recognizing it as part of the game's friendly banter.
