Smokin’ Tommy DeVito conquered the gridiron once again in his fourth career start as the New York Giants overcame the Green Bay Packers with a thrilling 24-22 victory on Monday Night Football.
DeVito completed 81% of his passes for 158 yards and a touchdown, dominating the Packers’ defense on the ground as well. He racked up 71 rushing yards on 10 attempts against Green Bay after entering the contest with 83 career rushing yards.
After the Packers grabbed a late one-point lead with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, DeVito masterminded a drive that culminated in a game-winning field goal by Randy Bullock as time ran out.
NFL fans were blown away by the outstanding performance of the former undrafted free agent.

That was a ridiculous play, followed by an absurd catch by Isaiah Hodgins for the touchdown and a 21-13 lead for the Giants.
Tommy Devito earned the chance to start and is rewarding Daboll’s trust.
