NEW ORLEANS — Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito's riveting three-game run of victories is over following a rough game in New Orleans. The reigning NFC offensive player of the week was sacked seven times and did not produce a touchdown in a 24-6 loss to the Saints that put the Giants on the brink of playoff elimination with a 5-9 record.
