NFL fans had plenty of jokes about Tommy DeVito vs. Cooper Rush on Thanksgiving

The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to host the New York Giants on Thanksgiving this year after the Detroit Lions hosted the Chicago Bears in the early game. The Giants and Cowboys are currently two of the worst teams in the NFL, and things only seem to be getting worse.

The Cowboys lost star quarterback Dak Prescott for the season earlier this month, and now the Giants have announced that starting quarterback Daniel Jones is being benched. Which means the two quarterbacks starring in the prime Thanksgiving time slot will be Cooper Rush and Tommy DeVito.

Fans are not thrilled.

This is just a small sampling of the visceral reaction many fans experience when they realize they will be spending the holiday with two quarterbacks who were not NFL starters as recently as Halloween.

The Cowboys had some success with Rush starting a few years ago, going 5-1 in his first six starts while putting up soft stats, but in Week 11 he completed 13 passes for 45 yards in a blowout loss to the Eagles. At this point, it’s entirely possible that Trey Lance actually starts for Dallas on Thanksgiving, which would lead to a whole new batch of unimpressed reactions.

DeVito on the other hand at least brings some interest as people will remember again that he is Italian and his mom makes chicken cutlets. The Giants went 3-3 with DeVito from last season, when he threw eight touchdown passes, and his agent rose to national prominence. And this year, they’re all coming to Thanksgiving dinner.
