Tommy Cutlets wasn’t exactly a folk hero Sunday in Germany.
Former Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito endured a rough relief outing in his first extended playing time since 2024, throwing for only 81 yards after replacing starter Drake Maye late in the first quarter of the Patriots’ 35-10 loss to the Lions in Munich.
DeVito, the New Jersey product who made 12 appearances with eight starts for the Giants in 2023 and 2024, completed 12 of 24 passes with one touchdown and one interception after Maye left the game with an ankle injury on the Patriots’ first offensive drive.
He previously attempted just eight passes over the past two seasons in New England, all coming in two games of mop-up duty earlier this year.
Maye limped off the field and went to the locker room after Detroit defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson landed on the quarterback’s leg during a first-quarter sack.
Hutchinson suffered a knee injury while celebrating the sack and also did not return to the game.
The Patriots managed just 151 yards of total offense in the game, compared to 494 by the Lions.
The 28-year-old DeVito completed a 10-yard TD pass to running back Lan Larison with 12:40 remaining in the fourth quarter.
