4. The Giants must must must keep feeding Saquon

This is stating the obvious, but giving Barkley the ball is going to put the Giants in the best position to win. Barkley is one of the most explosive running backs in the NFL and he entered Sunday with the most yards from scrimmage. Despite that, Kafka didn’t get him the pigskin enough in the first half.

Barkley only posted six carries for 14 yards in the first half, while adding two receptions. What in the world? People were furious with Kafka for not getting Barkley the ball. In the second half, Barkley was much more involved. He finished the Week 6 showdown with 22 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Yup, that’s 16 carries for 70 yards in the second half, which is exactly what people wanted to see. Barkley could have had a second TD, but he smartly stopped himself short of the end zone to kill more time off the clock. Soon after, the Giants went into victory formation. Boom.
