The New York Giants’ 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders snapped a three-game losing streak to improve the Giants record to 3-8. Here are some thoughts to come from that game.
Jersey Strong. Given the Giants’ injury situation at quarterback, many thought the team might immediately turn to a veteran to at least try to salvage its season rather than place the season’s fate in the hands of undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito
But the scrappy New Jersey native, while nowhere close to being a finished product, has rewarded the coaching staff’s faith in him by delivering two starting campaigns in which he’s now 1-1 and where, in the loss, he wasn’t the lone reason for the team coming up short.
