New Orleans Saints Mock Giants Quarterback DeVito's “Tommy Cutlets” Gesture After Sacking Him

In a game that could potentially determine their playoff fate, the New York Giants faced off against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Giants, led by rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito, were hoping to secure a win and keep their playoff hopes alive. However, the Saints had other plans.

DeVito, who has quickly become a fan favorite and a cult hero in New York, found himself facing a formidable opponent in the Saints' defensive line. From the start of the game, it was clear that the Saints were targeting DeVito, hoping to rattle the young quarterback.

In the second quarter, defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon managed to bring down DeVito for a sack. As he rose to his feet, Kpassagnon mockingly made the “Tommy Cutlets” hand gesture, a move that DeVito is known for after throwing touchdown passes. This sarcastic gesture was a direct response to DeVito's signature move and was meant to taunt and mock the young quarterback.

But the Saints weren't done yet. On the same unlucky drive for DeVito, rookie defensive tackle Bryan Bresee also sacked him and followed suit with the same hand gesture. It was a clear message from the Saints' defense: they were not impressed with DeVito's rise to stardom and were determined to put him in his place.

DeVito, who was signed as an undrafted free agent, has been a revelation for the Giants. Taking over the starting job due to injuries to Daniel Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor, DeVito has led the team to three straight wins. Living at home with his parents in New Jersey, DeVito has become a symbol of hope for Giants fans, much like Jeremy Lin was for the Knicks in 2012.

But despite DeVito's success, the Saints showed no mercy. Their defense continued to pressure DeVito throughout the game, sacking him a total of four times before halftime. It was a clear display of dominance from the Saints' defense and a reminder to the Giants that they still had a long way to go if they wanted to secure a playoff spot.

For DeVito and the Giants, this game was crucial. A win would have propelled them further into the playoff hunt and solidified DeVito's status as a rising star. However, the loss to the Saints served as a wake-up call for the Giants, reminding them that they still had work to do if they wanted to make a postseason run.

As the game progressed, it became increasingly clear that the Saints were not impressed with DeVito's accomplishments. The sarcastic hand gestures from Kpassagnon and Bresee were a testament to their lack of respect for the rookie quarterback.

Despite the loss and the mockery from the Saints, DeVito remained optimistic. "I appreciate the support from everybody," he said after the game. "I'm just trying to continue to be me. I'm going to let my personality show. That's it."

For the Giants, the road to the playoffs became even tougher after the loss to the Saints. With DeVito facing increased pressure and scrutiny, the team would need to regroup and find a way to bounce back in their remaining games. Whether or not they can overcome the odds and secure a playoff spot remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: the Saints have made it clear that they are not impressed with Tommy DeVito's rise to fame.
