NY Giants RB Saquon Barkley: STUD

Along with a stud in Jones, running back Saquon Barkley was a stud and looked like his old-self, for the first time since returning from his 2020 torn ACL.

Barkley had 13 carries for 52 yards, and had a 54-yard touchdown pass from Jones and the game-winning touchdown run to secure the win.

"“This team has been through a lot,” Barkley said. “We’ve been through a lot of close games and previously we haven’t found a way to finish it. That was just our motto, that’s what we kept saying at halftime: stick together… and find a way to win this game.”"

Barkley did just that, and was one of the most dominant players on the field.
