1. The Giants are rocking with Tommy DeVito on Sunday

With Jones out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL and primary backup Tyrod Taylor on IR with a rib injury, undrafted rookie quarterback Devito will be taking the reigns as the starting quarterback for New York going forward. And with Devito now the new starter, this game could get ugly right away.

This is no shot on Devito as a quarterback, as he's trying his best. The issue here is that he was an undrafted free agent for a reason. When he played on Sunday replacing Jones, he had some fine moments, but he's clearly not a starting-caliber QB. He tossed two interceptions vs. Las Vegas in Week 9. We don't even want to talk about what went down with him at QB against the Jets.

Matt Barkley was signed to the active roster, so he'll be the backup. Jacob Eason was inked to the practice squad. The fact that DeVito, Barkley and Eason are NY's healthy QBs right now is unreal. It speaks volumes to how big of a nightmare this season has been. The Dallas defense will look to feast on NY's unfortunate situation.
