How far can DeVito-mania carry the New York Giants? The 5-8 Giants, who are now one game out of the NFC playoffs in a crowded field seven teams at either 6-7 or 5-8, travel to face the favored New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
The Saints are one of those 6-7 teams the Giants would need to climb over to ascend to a playoff berth that seemed unfathomable a month ago when they were 2-8. The rise of undrafted rookie free agent quarterback Tommy Devito, improved defense and the health of stars Andrew Thomas and Saquon Barkley has helped revive the Giants’ season.
