The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants were both on their Bye Week this past Sunday. While one team worked on healing up, the other made a quarterback change, and it wasn’t the Bucs.
The New York Giants are making a quarterback change ahead of their matchup on Sunday against the Bucs. They are benching Daniel Jones in favor of Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock. Jones will now be third on the depth chart behind DeVito, who will start, and Lock.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the move early on Monday morning.
In his siz years in the NFL, after the Giants drafted him in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Jones has a record of 24-44-1. The Giants this year have the lowest scoring offense with 15.6 points per game so they hope this change can bring life to the team.
For the Bucs, though, it allows a secondary that has been struggling to go against a softer challenge. DeVito, in six games last year, was 3-3 and averaged less than 200 yards passing a game.
