Giants to start Tyrod Taylor over Tommy DeVito at QB vs. Rams

The New York Giants will start Tyrod Taylor at quarterback Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, coach Brian Daboll announced Wednesday.

Taylor replaced rookie Tommy DeVito in the second half of the Giants' loss Monday to the Philadelphia Eagles, after which Daboll said he didn't know who would start in Week 17.

DeVito, the undrafted rookie who lives at home and quickly became a fan favorite by winning three of his first four starts, Daboll told him at halftime that change was afoot. All he was told at the time was that the team was trying to get the offense going. The Giants were down 20-3.

The Giants (5-10) scored on their first possession of the second half, with Taylor giving the ball away to running back Saquon Barkley on three straight plays. In the fourth quarter, Taylor threw a 69-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton.
