Even Giants were in awe of Titans’ Saquon Barkley plan

The Titans’ plan was simple: Stop Saquon Barkley and you stop the Giants offense.

So the Titans stopped the star rookie running back and the Giants went from scoring 40 points a week ago to zero on Sunday in a dismal 17-0 home loss to Tennessee that officially eliminated them from playoff contention.

Barkley has been on a fast track for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, entering the game with 1,124 rushing yards, a 5.4-yards-per-carry average and nine touchdowns on the ground and 78 receptions for 629 yards and four touchdowns through the air.
