Rookie QB Tommy DeVito has tough time in 1st start, but does get TDs for Giants against Cowboys

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tommy DeVito’s first drive as starting quarterback for the New York Giants began inside their own 1, and the next one at the 6. “Have some things to work on, that’s why we competed all the way to the end to give him as many different situations as he can get.” The 25-year-old from New Jersey, who still lives in Essex County with his family, became the 10th rookie quarterback to start an NFL game this season. “You get put in that situation, you’ve got to get out of it.” After replacing Jones early in the second quarter in a 30-6 loss last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, DeVito was 15-of-20 passing for 175 yards with a TD and two interceptions. The Giants’ second possession began at the 6, with two more runs by Barkley before DeVito dropped back to pass and had to step up out of the end zone to avoid a safety when he was sacked for the first of five times.
