EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It was the most important game of the past six seasons for the New York Giants, and there was running back Saquon Barkley jumping and windmilling his left arm to get the home crowd stoked for his quarterback during a Week 17 rout of the Indianapolis Colts.
Barkley was enjoying the moment as Daniel Jones was leaving the field to a standing ovation as the Giants clinched their first playoff bid since 2016.
Barkley was among the first to embrace the quarterback, one of his best friends on the team.
