Tommy DeVito will make his fourth start of the year coming Monday when the Giants take on the Packers, according to a statement made by coach Brian Daboll on Tuesday. After Tyrod Taylor and Daniel Jones were placed on injured reserve in back-to-back games in Week 10, DeVito assumed the starting role and guided the team to a 2-1 victory with six touchdown passes and just one interception.
“Tommy’s done a good job; he’s improved in each of the games he’s played,” Daboll stated. “I thought he played well the last two games, made good decisions, was accurate with the football and earned the right to play.” In each of the last two games, DeVito has completed at least 68 percent of his passes and concluded with a passer rating exceeding 100.

Although I’m pleased about it, it’s still a job. You still have to put up a show and complete every task. It’s not as though you’re at the top right now, which is far from the case, but I’m just going to attempt to go out there and try to improve every day in an effort to win my colleagues’ respect and
