The legend of Tommy DeVito grew on Monday night.
In front of his family and friends at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, DeVito was 4-for-4 on the final drive of the game to set up kicker Randy Bullock for the game-winning 37-yard field goal to give the New York Giants a win over the Green Bay Packers 24-22.

The Giants were able to recover from a devastating Saquon Barkley fumble on the previous drive. Barkley’s fumble helped the Packers drive 36 yards for a Jordan Love touchdown pass to Malik Heath. Green Bay failed to secure the 2-point conversion and eight plays later it was the Giants celebrating.
DeVito was an efficient 17-for-21 with 158 yards and a crucial touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins in the third quarter. He wasn’t sacked and had 71 yards on the ground.
DeVito found Wan’Dale Robinson twice on the final drive as well as Barkley and Darius Slayton. The last Robinson catch went for 32 yards and helped give Bullock an easier kick.
