The New York Giants want to give their fans a few moments of celebration during their difficult season, and on Monday the crowd favorites posted a 24-1 victory on the final play of the game at MetLife Stadium. 22 at the Green Bay Packers.

Tommy DeVito again provided the essentials, completing 17 of his 21 passes, including one for Isaiah Hodgins' touchdown in the third quarter. The quarterback also covered 71 yards with his legs, but also trusted his running back Saquon Barkley. Two of the latter's 20 shorts led to majors.
The Packers (6-7) took a 22-21 lead with just 1:33 remaining. Malik Heath intercepted Jordan Love's throw in the end zone near the sideline. He barely had time to touch the pin before running off the field, pushing the referee in the process. Fortunately, he managed to make the touchdown possible without any major problems.
The Giants (5-8) will put their good streak on the line against the New Orleans Saints (6-7) on Sunday.
Dolphins surprised
On the Miami side, the Tennessee Titans survived an explosive fourth quarter and pulled off an upset with a 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
The Florida team is undefeated in five home games this season, but their own mistakes have been their undoing. Miami trailed 13-10 heading into the quarter, but regained the lead in convincing fashion thanks to two Raheem Mostert touchdowns and a field goal.
Unable to keep their offense on the field long enough, the Dolphins (9-4) allowed the Titans (5-8) to score two touchdowns in under a minute. Quarterback Will Levis found DeAndre Hopkins in the zone and the two-point conversion was also successful. Derrick Henry then ran for three yards to secure his team's victory.
This is Tennessee's first win on opposing fields this season.
