Tommy DeVito punished by Saints as Giants’ playoff hopes get crushed in loss
After hanging around for a half, the Saints blew them away in a dismal last 30 minutes, resulting in a 24-6 loss at Caesars Superdome.
The Giants were 2-8 after 10 games and flirting with a top-two choice in the draft, so this effectively puts an end to the flimsy postseason thoughts they carried into mid-December.
They are now out of contention at 5-9 and gave the Saints (7-7) enough lead to maintain their lead, leaving them with a mathematically impossible road to the postseason.
With their current NFC ranking of No. 12, the Giants will have already departed by the time the postseason arrives.
What’s left for them is this: the Giants take on the Eagles in Philadelphia on Christmas Day, the first of two games the teams will play together in the last three. Suck it up.
Guard Justin Pugh remarked, “This probably eliminates us from the playoffs.” We had to come back from a losing start to the season and find a way to play a very good Philadelphia club the next week. This movie needs to be watched, and mistakes need to be made. It will have the same f-king outcome if we don’t.
The good vibrations that DeVito generated in the Big Easy did not carry over from his consistent play, vibrant family, and embrace of the Tommy Cutlets image.
Due to the offensive line’s flimsy protection and the reemergence of DeVito’s uneasiness in the pocket, he was banged around and sacked seven times.
During the winning run, defensive linemen Tanoh Kpassagnon (three sacks) and Bryan Bresee (two sacks) had the most fun as they mimicked the DeVito Italian hand motion, which was punctuated by several sacks by Saints defenders.
DeVito stated that you can see it in all sports: if someone does something and something else occurs, they will simply take offence and strike back.
It’s just a part of it, Barkley remarked. You should anticipate that a team will follow through on your actions when things are going well and they have your number.
Yes, the Saints knew how to beat the Giants.
Barkley only managed 14 yards on his nine attempts at rushing, failing to gain any momentum.
DeVito completed 20 of 34 throws for 177 yards without turning the game over, but he was unable to move his team close to the end zone.
Throughout the whole game, the Giants did not cross the Saints’ 20-yard line.The Giants’ greatest offensive display occurred in the second quarter when former cornerback Isaac Yiadom hit a late-sliding DeVito, sending his head crashing into the ground, to cap off a 6-yard rush. While DeVito was being laid out, his teammates created a commotion on the field to protect their quarterback, but no penalty was called.
