NFC Notes: Ron Rivera, Tommy DeVito, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants

Commanders

The Commanders suffered a terrible loss to the Giants on Sunday in which QB Sam Howell finished with three interceptions. Losing to the previously morose Giants dropped Washington to 4-7 on the season. 

โ€œWell, itโ€™s a low point, thatโ€™s for sure,โ€ Commanders HC Ron Rivera said, via Ben Standig of The Athletic. โ€œAny time you got an opportunity to win a football game, and you put up the numbers that we did, you got a chance โ€” but you got to convert.โ€

Cowboys

Cowboys CB DaRon Bland tied an NFL record on Sunday with his fourth pick-six. After the game, Bland said he’s hoping to break the record. 

“It just makes another goal to break it,” Bland said, via DallasCowboys.com. “I think it was when I touched the end zone, it was like, ‘Wow, I just did it. I tied the record.’ I’m level-headed now and I want to go break itโ€ฆ

“It wasn’t really about the record. It’s really about being in the history books, being remembered.”

Giants

For most of this season, Giants QB Tommy DeVito has looked exactly like a rookie UDFA who was the third-stringer before injuries pressed him into the lineup. But in the Giants’ Week 11 win against the Commanders, DeVito tossed three touchdowns and looked like a player who just might have an NFL future. 

โ€œI definitely think heโ€™s proving people wrong,” said Giants RB Saquon Barkley, who was on the receiving end of two scores from DeVito, via Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post. โ€œWe know what heโ€™s capable of doing. Itโ€™s the NFL. You donโ€™t get here by accident. Heโ€™s a confident dude from Jersey.”
