PHILADELPHIA — Tommy DeVito, whose rise from undrafted rookie to starting quarterback for the New York Giants charmed the NFL on his rise to instant celebrity, was benched in the second half of another loss in a dismal season. He was replaced by Tyrod Taylor. Taylor connected with Darius Slayton for a 69-yard score late in the fourth that made it 30-25. DeVito could only watch from the sideline, before the long ride home, back to his parents' house, where the 25-year-old QB still lives in New Jersey.
