New York Giants announce Tommy DeVito will start against Dallas Cowboys
FRISCO, Texas - New York Giants third-stringer Tommy DeVito will get the first start of his NFL career against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.
DeVito, a rookie, has been forced into games the last two weeks after injuries to Tyrod Taylor and Daniel Jones.
DeVito has struggled badly in his first two NFL games.
In the Oct. 29 game against the New York Jets he went 2-7 for -1 yard.
On Nov. 5, he went 15-20 on pass attempts for 175 yards and a touchdown. He also threw two interceptions and took 6 sacks.

Jones tore his ACL last week and is out for the season. Taylor is on the injured reserve with a rib injury.
The Dallas Cowboys defense will be licking their chops to face the rookie.
In Week 1, with Daniel Jones under center, the Cowboys beat the Giants 40-0 in the Meadowlands.
Dallas is in need of a bounceback game after a tough loss to the Eagles.
The New York Giants signed former Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Barkley to back up DeVito.
