He rushed for a touchdown in Week 8, but notably wasn&#8217;t given the freedom to throw very often in a low-scoring loss to the Jets. A week later, DeVito returned to action following Jones&#8217; season-ending ACL injury, and with the majority of the game still in front of them, the Giants had no choice but to operate their offense as usual with DeVito at the controls.<\/p>\n<p>He completed 15 of 20 passes for 175 yards and a wide-open touchdown against the Raiders this past Sunday, but also threw two interceptions in a blowout loss. Apparently, the combination of DeVito&#8217;s slight improvement and the lack of a legitimate option elsewhere &#8212; New York did elevate Matt Barkley from the practice squad on Wednesday &#8212; gave Daboll enough confidence to name DeVito the starter.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/giants-to-start-rookie-qb-tommy-devito-vs-cowboys-matt-barkley-elevated-to-backu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a moment of desperation, the Giants are showing Tommy DeVito\u00a0some appreciation.
