Tyrod Taylor will start for the Giants this weekend

The Tommy DeVito era has come to an end.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll announced on Wednesday that Tyrod Taylor will get the start at quarterback against the Rams in Week 17. Taylor replaced DeVito for the second half of the Giants’ Christmas loss to the Eagles and helped give the team a shot at coming back from a 17-point deficit, so it’s not a great shock that the Giants made this call.
Taylor made three starts earlier this season when Daniel Jones was out with a neck injury, but he injured his ribs in a loss to the Jets and went on injured reserve. That opened the door to DeVito for a six-game run as a starter and the undrafted rookie helped guide the Giants to wins in three of those contests, but he struggled under heavy pressure in Week 15 against the Saints and did even worse against the Eagles.
After facing the Rams, the Giants will wrap up the season with another game against the Eagles and then head into an offseason that will be devoted to trying to turn things back around after their disappointing 2023 campaign.

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
