Tommy DeVito is lighting it up on the world’s biggest stage.

The former Illinois QB led the New York Giants to a 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers yesterday on Monday Night Football. He finished leading the Giants on the game-winning drive and totaled `58 passing yards with 1 touchdown on 17-of-21 attempts. DeVito added 10 carries for 71 yards to that total.

DeVito has become something of a miniature folk hero for the people of New York, who hope DeVito is here to fix their longstanding QB problem the Giants have had since the departure of Eli Manning.

If you’re interested, here’s DeVito’s full game-winning drive from the NFL:

After Randy Bullock’s field goal attempt sailed through the uprights, fans took to social media to praise the undrafted rookie out of Illinois for leading the Giants over Green Bay and doing it with style.

Here are some of the best responses.
