The Tommy DeVito magic ended on Sunday, through little fault of his own, as the New York Giants fell to the New Orleans Saints, 24-6.
The New York Giants traveled down to The Big Easy to face the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday in a matchup of two teams attempting to keep their postseason hopes alive.
The Giants came into the game riding a three-game winning streak while the Saints are coming off a 28-6 win in Week 14 over Carolina that stopped a three-game losing streak.
Here’s how things went…
Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 24-6 loss for the New York Giants against the New Orleans Saints in Week 15.
The New York Giants saw their playoff hopes all but dashed on Sunday, falling to the New Orleans Saints, 24-6.
Although not mathematically eliminated, the Giants would need every single domino to fall into place over the next three weeks and that’s simply not going to happen. Accordingly, it’s time for Big Blue to begin looking ahead.
They were completely out-coached in Week 15 and many of their early season issues reappeared: Poor offensive line play, drops, missed tackles, lack of non-blitz pressure, and injuries.
With the loss, the Giants fall to 5-9 on the season.
Here is a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the Week 15 defeat.
The New York Giants defeated the Green Bay Packers, 24-22, in Week 14 and the Giants Wire team grades reflect that performance.

The Giants pulled off a big upset in primetime to keep their playoff hopes alive. They have now won three straight and improved to 5-8 on the season. They will have an opportunity to build on that next week as they face another potential wild-card team in the New Orleans Saints.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what we saw during the game and how we graded the Giants in this win.
Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ 31-19 victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 11?
The New York Giants upset the Washington Commanders, 31-19, at FedEx Field on Sunday afternoon in Landover, Maryland, improving their record to 3-8 on the season.
The Giants won on the backs of their defense, which recorded five of the team’s six turnovers, running back Saquon Barkley and rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito.
The win is proof the Giants aren’t tanking and that they” continue putting their best foot forward this year.
Whose stock is up and whose is down after the Week 11 win? Let’s take a look.
Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 31-19 win for the New York Giants against the Washington Commanders in Week 11.
The New York Giants headed down to Landover, Maryland on Sunday afternoon to take on the Washington Commanders, a team they traditionally play very well against.
Despite low expectations, the Giants again put on their hard hat and went to work against their long-time NFC East rivals. The defense, in particular, stepped up to the plate and rebounded after a humiliating display in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Wink Martindale’s crew recorded four sacks and forced five of the six turnovers on the game, including a game-sealing pick-6 by linebacker Isaiah Simmons with just seconds remaining.
On the other side of the ball, running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Tommy DeVito put enough points on the board to allow the D to keep the pressure on.
Here is a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the Week 11 win.
New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie WR Jalin Hyatt took a step forward in concussion protocol and could play in Week 11.
The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Thursday and they made a few positive strides from the day prior.
Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence returned from his veteran rest day, while both linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt took a step forward in concussion protocol. They were limited and have a chance to play on Sunday.
The same could not be said for veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, who did not participate for the second straight day and is unlikely to suit up against the Washington Commanders.
Meanwhile, linebacker Azeez Ojulari was listed as limited with yet another new injury.
The Giants’ full Thursday injury report can be found below:
Did not participate: OL Evan Neal (ankle), CB Adoree’ Jackson (concussion)
Limited participant: CB Deonte Banks (ankle), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Andrew Thomas (knee), WR Jalin Hyatt (concussion), LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (concussion), LB Bobby Okereke (hip), LB Azeez Ojulari (ankle)
Full participant: RB Deon Jackson (concussion), NT Dexter Lawrence (rest), QB Tommy DeVito (shoulder), S Xavier McKinney (rib), S Jason Pinnock (thumb/ankle)

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie WR Jalin Hyatt were among a trio who missed practice on Wednesday due to concussions.
The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 11 game against the Washington Commanders at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.
After getting a little banged up in a 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week, all eyes were on rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito. He was a limited participant and head coach Brian Daboll announced that he will start on Sunday.
“I think he’s a good, young quarterback to work with, so you know, try to improve him this week from last week,” Daboll said.
On the downside of things, rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt and linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux joined veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson in concussion protocol.
Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence also received his usual mid-week rest day.

The Jets released RB Michael Carter on Tuesday and we recap how the team’s 2021 NFL draft class has fared thus far.
The New York Jets are amid a two-game skid right now, being outscored by the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders 43-18 in the last two weeks. The Jets held a players-only meeting on Tuesday, and running back Michael Carter was released shortly after.
We are now in the third year of Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas being the head coach-general manager duo for the Jets. The 2021 NFL draft was the first one Saleh and Douglas took part in together, beginning a regime that had fans in New York optimistic about the future.
With the offense struggling with Zach Wilson under center, and Carter being released, now is as good a time as ever to recap how New York’s 2021 NFL draft class has fared thus far.
Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 13-10 loss for the New York Giants against the New York Jets in Week 8.
The New York Giants had victory in their hands on Sunday but couldn’t put the finishing touches on things. A late fourth-quarter collapse led to overtime and Big Blue simply couldn’t get anything done when it mattered most, allowing the New York Jets to steal a victory that never should have been.
For a franchise mired in a decade-plus stretch of unimaginable futility, this Week 8 loss to the Jets takes the cake. And while injuries certainly contributed, the coaching was downright appalling and deserves to be questioned.
Here’s a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the team’s latest loss.
New York Giants safety Jason Pinnock was once a Jet and he knows from seeing it on the inside: Little brother syndrome is very real.
This weekend, the New York Jets and New York Giants will rekindle the New York City rivalry in a pivotal matchup for both teams.
Jason Pinnock, who grew up a Jet fan prior to being drafted by Gang Green, certainly knows both sides of the rivalry.
Pinnock talked about the rivalry ahead of the Week 8 game.
“Being over there, the little-brother thing, that’s how they feel,” Pinnock said, via the New York Post. “Being on both ends of it, it’s funny. It’s time to get it in the regular season now.”
“Even if you didn’t know the history of it, we play in the same stadium. You literally are fighting for this city overall.”
Pinnock was drafted in the fifth round by the Jets back in 2021 before being waived prior to his sophomore season. Big Blue claimed the defensive back just days prior to the start of the 2022 regular season — quite the find for Joe Schoen in his first season with the Giants.
The Jets have certainly played second fiddle to Big Blue in recent memory. Gang Green currently holds one of the longest active playoff droughts in US sports.
After acquiring Aaron Rodgers, the Jets had all the attention of the city entering this season. However, that quickly changed just four snaps into the Rodgers era.
As the two teams battle for New York bargain rights, you can bet that players like Pinnock and Leonard Williams have a little extra motivation going up against their former team this week.
