16 for 64
Saquon Barkley had arguably his best performance since returning from his ankle injury.
Barkley ran for 64 yards on 16 rushing attempts. His longest run of the day came on a 13 yard rush that showcased a classic Barkley run.
He added another 31 yards through the air on three receptions. He also reached the end zone and added his own garbage time touchdown.

Barkely finished the day averaging four yards per carry which would also be his highest of the season. As the game quickly got out of hand, the Giants were forced to switch to a pass heavy offense. This led to less rushing attempts for Brkley.
But his 16 attempts should be a breath of fresh air for this team. Barkley showing that he can get back to a heavy workload would allow this offense a bit more flexibility.
