Tommy DeVito, the quarterback for the New York Giants, was hit frighteningly on Sunday during the team’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
With the Giants behind 7-3, DeVito was leading a drive past midfield when he launched himself into a tackle that left his head striking the ground.
The Giants sent the starter to the blue medical tent for assessment, deciding to play it safe following his reaction on the field. The drive was completed by backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, but it ended in a field goal, making the score for the Saints 7–6 at the half. Punter Jamie Gillan had to check in to try the 40-yard field goal since kicker Randy Bullock was injured.
In the first half, DeVito completed 9 of 16 passes for 73 yards before leaving the game. In addition, he had four rushes for 36 yards and absorbed four sacks for a loss of 33 yards.
