2. Saquon Barkley is ready to step up when needed

Despite the loss, oh how good it feels to see Saquon Barkley look like his old self and ball out against the Dallas Cowboys. Due to the poor play from the offensive line for most of the game, Barkley really couldn’t get the run game going. Things changed in the third quarter. With the game tied at 6-6, Barkley stole the show.

He took a handoff from Jones and sprinted his way to the end zone for a 36-yard touchdown run. Barkley topped 20 miles per hour on that run, blazing his way past the Dallas defense. MetLife was rockin’ from start to finish on that run, making the big score all the more memorable for the Giants star.

With NY in need of a big moment, Barkley was ready to get the pigskin and do whatever was necessary to get the people off their seats. He took things to a different gear, though, and would not be denied of a touchdown. The Giants need this kind of Saquon to keep showing up. We can only hope these kinds of runs can come in wins, though.
