Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley was ‘a lot of fun to watch’ on Sunday

All off-season long New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley talked about wanting to prove his place amongst the best running backs in the league again. In Week 1 he did his best to showcase just that.

Barkley finished the day with 164 rushing yards on 18 carries and 30 receiving yards on six receptions. Barkley finished with the most rushing yards of any player in Week 1 and made multiple crucial plays when the Giants needed it to help push the team to an upset victory on Sunday over the Tennessee Titans.

After a touchdown pass from Daniel Jones to Chris Myarick to put the score at 20-19, the Giants had a decision to make on what to do next.
