Amidst a five-game losing streak, the New York Giants are switching things up for their Week 12 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as the team announced it is benching starting quarterback Daniel Jones.

Head coach Brian Daboll announced the move on Monday, following the team’s Week 11 bye, and the Giants will now turn to second-year player Tommy DeVito.
