Saquon Barkley Finally Stepped Up when it Mattered Most

Saquon Barkley wasn’t perfect, but he was the difference for the NY Giants today.

Barkley chipped in five catches for 74 yards and a 54-yard receiving touchdown in the passing game. Barkley also provided 52 rushing yards and most importantly, the game-ending touchdown in OT.

Saquon was explosive, broke tackles, and was a menace in the open field. It was good to see Saquon look like the #26 of old running around, having fun. Barkley was drafted to New York for games like this. If he keeps delivering like this, Giants fans will stop complaining about using him on the #2 overall pick.
