In a surprising turn of events, Giants head coach Brian Daboll announced on Wednesday that Tyrod Taylor will be taking over as the starting quarterback in the final two games of the 2023 season. This decision comes after Taylor's impressive performance in relief of Tommy DeVito during the Giants' recent loss to the Eagles.

Taylor, who previously made three starts earlier in the season when Daniel Jones was sidelined with a neck injury, proved his capabilities on the field. However, his stint as a starter was cut short due to a rib injury suffered in a loss to the Jets, which led to his placement on injured reserve. This setback paved the way for DeVito, an undrafted rookie, to step in and take the reins as the starting quarterback for the past six games.

During DeVito's tenure as the starter, he showcased his potential by leading the Giants to victories in three of those contests. However, as the pressure mounted, he struggled in a Week 15 clash against the Saints and performed even worse in the recent game against the Eagles. It became evident that a change was needed to provide a spark for the struggling Giants.

With their disappointing 2023 campaign nearing its end, the Giants will now turn to Taylor in hopes of salvaging some semblance of success. The decision to start Taylor against the Rams in Week 17 was seen as a logical move after his strong performance during his time on the field against the Eagles. Taylor's ability to rally the team from a sizable 17-point deficit demonstrated his capability to lead the Giants' offense effectively.

Following their matchup against the Rams, the Giants will face off against the Eagles once again to conclude their season. As the focus shifts to the offseason, the organization will be dedicated to resurrecting their team and turning their fortunes around for the upcoming year.

It remains to be seen whether Taylor's presence in the starting lineup will breathe new life into the struggling Giants or if the team will continue to face challenges. However, with two crucial matchups remaining, the Giants are hoping for a positive end to what has been a disappointing season.
