The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 11-4 on the season with a 33-25 win over the rival New York Giants. Tommy DeVito’s run as the New York Giants’ starting quarterback is done. For now, at least.

In an effort to “try to spark the team” according to Giants head coach Brian Daboll, the Giants replaced DeVito with backup Tyrod Taylor in the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. 

DeVito struggled to move the offense in the first half while completing 9 of 16 passes for 55 yards without a touchdown. The first half marked six straight quarters for the Giants without a touchdown following last week’s 24-6 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

“It is a business. It’s your job. I respect it,” DeVito told reporters postgame. “There’s no feelings one way or another.”

DeVito started six games this season in relief of injured starter Daniel Jones. He entered Monday’s game having completed 64% of his passes for 147.4 yards per game with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He helped lead the Giants to three straight wins, including a Monday night upset of the Green Bay Packers in Week 14, developing a cult following in the process.

But New York’s offense has struggled to move the ball since, and a spiraling Giants team at the end of a disappointing season is moving in another direction.

On a cloudy and cool afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the New York Jets defeated the Washington Commanders, 30 – 28.

The first half saw the Commanders collapse under an avalanche of ineptitude as the Jets took a commanding 27 – 7 lead into the locker room. 

Just when the Jets looked like they were going to put the final nail in the Commanders’ coffin, Trevor Siemian threw an interception. A few plays later QB Jacoby Brissett had the Commanders in the end zone and suddenly we had a football game with the score Jets 27, Commanders 14, as the momentum shifted to the Commanders.

Four minutes later the Commanders finished off another drive with a touchdown run and took a one point lead at 28 – 27. It was a stunning and humiliating turnaround, with the Jets vaunted defense unable to stop a mediocre Commanders offense.

Trevor Siemian drove the Jets just far enough for Greg Zuerlein to kick a game winning 54 yard field goal with five seconds left on the clock.

The New York Giants lost to the New Orleans Saints, 24-6, on Sunday. The loss broke the Giants three-game winning streak and left them with a 5-9 record. The Saints are 7-7.

One week after the Giants did not allow any sacks for the first time this season, quarterback Tommy DeVito was sacked seven times and hit on nine other dropbacks.

Leading 7-6 at the half, New Orleans scored 17 points on its first three possessions of the second half to stretch their lead to 24-6 early in the fourth quarter. The game was basically over at that point.

“Collectively just not good enough,” said head coach Brian Daboll. “Nothing was where it needed to be today. Just overall not good enough.”

DeVito said the Giants “didn’t play with enough swagger.”

Any delusions about the Jets bringing Aaron Rodgers back to make a late-season playoff push ended here Sunday in an utterly embarrassing, no-show performance against the Dolphins.

The Jets were outplayed and out-coached in every aspect of the game and suffered a humiliating 30-0 defeat at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Jets (5-9) were officially eliminated from the playoffs with the loss and wins by the Browns and Texans. They have now missed the playoffs for 13 straight seasons, the longest drought in North American sports.

It is the first time the Jets have been shut out since Sept. 26, 2021, when the Broncos beat them 26-0. Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was the head coach of Denver that day.

Quarterback Zach Wilson was under siege in the first half behind an offensive line that played an atrocious game. He exited the game just before halftime with a head injury. Wilson had no chance to duplicate his performance against the Texans last week as he was under pressure every time he dropped back and was sacked four times. Wilson was 4-for-11 passing for 26 yards and had a fumble.

Trevor Siemian replaced Wilson and did not fare any better, getting sacked two times and going 14-for-25 with 110 yards with two interceptions.

The Packers came into Monday night’s game against the Giants with a perfect record in the month of December dating back through the past 16 games they have played in that time span, but that was all spoiled as they hit the road to face the Giants.

In a game that was uneventful overall at the beginning, there was plenty of back and forth there toward the end as the Giants pulled off the 24-22 victory over the Packers in the final seconds with a field goal.

The Packers had turned things around from a 2-5 start to the season to 6-6 with a very real chance of making a strong postseason run, though they have suffered a bit of a setback at this point.

Though things looked bleak for New York at the end of the contest with just seconds remaining, QB Tommy DeVito led the team down the field to finish the job.

DeVito spoke on what he told his teammates in the huddle during that last drive after the game. The message was simple.

“Let’s go win the game. It’s on us. It’s on the offense.”

It’s been a particularly drama-filled week for Zach Wilson, but the New York Jets third-year signal caller out of BYU responded to all the noise Sunday by having his best game of the season as the Jets beat the Houston Texans 30-6 to snap a five-game losing streak.

Amidst talk that he didn’t want to return to the starting lineup after being benched last month, Wilson finished the day by completing 27 of 36 passes for 301 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.

It marked the first time since December 18 of last year that Wilson reached the 300-yard mark in a game.

The performance came on a day when Wilson, the second pick in the 2021 NFL draft, was opposite Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was the second pick of the 2023 draft.

Stroud has been phenomenal as a rookie this season but had his worst outing of the campaign as Wilson outclassed him.

Stroud finished just 10 of 23 for 91 yards with no touchdowns before leaving the game in the fourth quarter because of a head injury.
