Tommy DeVito’s father, Tom, was among those upset with how things were going. DeVito was thrust into the starting role as the Giants dealt with injuries to Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor.
In the second quarter, the Giants were trying to extend their drive on the Cowboys’ 4-yard line. The Giants handed the ball off to running back Saquon Barkley, and the Dallas defense stopped him. The cameras panned to DeVito’s father, who appeared upset with the play call.

DeVito said he understood some of the frustration coming from the bench. The broadcast also showed Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton’s frustrations bubbling up on the sideline.
