DeVito continued his feel-good surprise story on Monday night, leading the Giants to a thrilling last-second 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers. DeVito went 17-of-21 for 158 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions to go along with 71 rushing yards.
Wilson, who had just lost his starting job to the since-released Tim Boyle three weeks ago, had his best season of 2023 on Sunday. The No. 2 pick of 2021 threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover, leading the Jets to a stunning 30-6 blowout victory of the Houston Texans.
