NFL fans made a lot of jokes about Tommy DeVito versus Cooper Rush on Thanksgiving

The Dallas Cowboys will host the New York Giants on Thanksgiving this year after the Detroit Lions host the Chicago Bears in the early game. The Giants and Cowboys are two of the worst teams in the NFL right now 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 has been benched. That means the two quarterbacks starring in the main Thanksgiving time slot will be Cooper Rush and Tommy DeVito.

Fans are not happy.

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

The Cowboys had some success when Rush started a few years ago, going 5-1 in his first six starts while putting up mild 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 will actually head to Dallas on Thanksgiving, which would lead to a whole new round of unimpressed reactions.

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

Pass the remote control.
