Taylor replaced DeVito during the Giants’ 33-25 loss to the Eagles on Christmas, and Daboll took a full day before announcing his decision.

While DeVito had his moments while leading the Giants to three straight wins, he failed to lead the team to a touchdown spanning six quarters against the Saints and Eagles.

Daboll originally chose DeVito over Taylor once the veteran was eligible to return in Week 14 against the Packers.
