Giants-Saints free live stream (12/17): How to watch online, TV, time
The dichotomy between the quarterback situations of the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints is as stark as it is unusual. The two teams meet Sunday, Dec. 17. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).
New York is going gaga over undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito, whose opportunistic play and inclination to lean in to his Italian heritage have transformed him from a relative unknown into a charismatic and galvanizing force on a Giants squad that has surprisingly won three straight.
The Superdome, meanwhile, has sounded like boo-bird central when $150 million free-agent acquisition Derek Carr has taken the field with the Saints’ oft-sputtering offense recently.
When New Orleans (6-7) hosts the Giants (5-8) on Sunday, the young QB affectionately known as “Tommy Cutlets” will try to add another chapter to his storybook rise in the Big Apple. Carr, by contrast, will look to change the narrative surrounding his frustrating first season in the Big Easy.
Neither team has had a good season. Yet either could realistically wind up in the postseason.
The Saints are in a three-way tie for first place in the anemic NFC South. And the fact that 6-7 Green Bay entered Week 15 tenuously holding the final NFC wild-card spot means both New York and New Orleans remain in contention for that as well.
When is Saints-Giants?
The Giants and Saints play at noon (1 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Dec. 17.
