LANDOVER, Md. — Undrafted quarterback Tommy DeVito isn't just starting games for his hometown New York Giants — he's setting franchise records.
DeVito, a New Jersey native who is living at home during his rookie season, threw three touchdown passes in a 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedEx Field.
He now has five touchdown passes in his first two career starts. That is the most by any Giants quarterback through his first two NFL starts since starters were first tracked in 1950, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
DeVito threw a pair of touchdown passes in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. «I did not [know it was a franchise record],» DeVito admitted afterward. «Like I said, it's all about the playcalling and executing the plays.
