The New York Giants hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium on Sunday in their first game with Tommy DeVito under center in 2024.
Heading into the game, the Giants suddenly decided to bench Daniel Jones in favor of DeVito. The shock factor was off the charts and led to a lot of drama, but the Giants still had to show up and play today.
It went as poorly as most people anticipated with the Bucs destroying the Giants from the first kickoff, waltzing down the field with seeming ease to a 30-7 victory.
Despite the horrendous performance by the Giants, safety Tyler Nubin shined on the defensive side of the ball and earned Player of the Game honors.
The defense as a whole didn’t have a great showing on Sunday, but a few players managed to keep the game from getting completely ridiculous. Nubin was the most prominent defensive player, leading the defense with 12 tackles (five solo) and had one pass defensed, but his impact went far beyond his stat line.
Nubin disrupted the Bucs offense more than any other defender, and he’s one of the biggest reasons there weren’t more touchdowns scored.
The Giants face the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Week 13.
