NEW ORLEANS - Perhaps the biggest misconception about the craze involving Tommy DeVito that energized the New York Giants and swept through the rest of the NFL is that, in some way, it was not real. Yet here's the thing about DeVito and what his presence did for Big Blue in its recent three-game losing streak, which breathed life into what was a dead season at 2-8 following that embarrassing 32-point loss to the Cowboys last month: The confidence was genuine, not a media creation, and the story remains a...

NEW ORLEANS — Derek Carr passed for 218 yards and three touchdowns, New Orleans sacked Tommy DeVito seven times, and the Saints defeated the Giants 24-6 on Sunday. It was one of the more redemptive performances of the season for Carr, who was booed while struggling in recent home games. Not this time as he connected on 23 of 28 passes without a turnover in one of his most efficient outings of his first season with New Orleans (7-7). And he did it without top receiver Chris Olave, who was...

The New Orleans Saints did not care at all for the Tommy DeVito hype, dominating the New York Giants, 24-6, at home on Sunday. The Saints move to 7-7 on the year to remain in the NFC South race, as they’re tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who defeated the Green Bay Packers as well. The Giants came into this game winners of three straight and hanging on in the NFC playoff race. But DeVito, who has become a local legend in New Jersey as he’s been leading the Giants’...

NEW ORLEANS — It was nice for the Giants while it lasted. Their temporary respite from their dismal season and the three-game lift and nice distraction provided by Tommy DeVito all came crashing down on Sunday, as the undrafted rookie quarterback was a marked man— and at times mocked by the opposition — in a desultory 24-6 loss to the Saints inside the Caesars Superdome. DeVito was knocked around in the first half, with Saints defensive linemen delighting in sacking DeVito four times and then mimicking his Italian hand gesture...

NEW ORLEANS — Tommy DeVito pulled on his helmet and calmly rose from the bench. He walked back out toward the field, facing a massive challenge — and an even bigger test to his magical run.

The Giants had Gillan kick the field goal, which cut the Saints’ lead to 7-6 at halftime, because kicker Randy Bullock injured his hamstring on a kickoff in the first quarter. Bullock was listed as questionable to return. DeVito returned to the lineup...
