4 game-changing plays that saved the NY Giants in the win over Washington
2. Saquon Barkley's 32-yard TD reception to put the Giants up 14-0
As a direct result of Banks' interception, Saquon Barkley managed to get his third touchdown of the season in just four games. On the second play of the Giants' drive following Banks' play, Barkley caught a pass from Tyrod Taylor and after avoiding Jamin Davis, he had a straight shot to the end zone, putting the Giants up 14-0.
This is Barkley's second game back from injury and he's looked nothing short of incredible for the Giants. New York's offense has looked the best it has all season with him on the field and this shouldn't be a shock to anyone as he's still one of the best running backs in the entire NFL. Considering how well he played today behind a practice squad offensive line, more fans need to give Barkley his flowers.
Barkley finished this game with 21 carries for 71 yards on the ground, as well as three receptions for 41 yards and a TD through the air. Once the offense gets back to full strength with Andrew Thomas and John Michael-Schmitz, we can only imagine the level at which Barkley will up his play. He did have a fumble in this one, but thankfully Washington wasn't able to take advantage.
