EAST RUTHERFORD — It would have been easy for Rashad Jennings to consider his outing a statement. Understandable, even.
The veteran running back has been one of the main targets of criticism in recent weeks as the Giants' rushing attack managed to hit new lows on a weekly basis.
Entering Monday night's game against the Bengals, the Giants were dead-last in the NFL in rushing offense, averaging just 68.3 yards-per-game. And Jennings' personal numbers were even worse. Since return from a thumb injury, he had averaged just 22 yards-per-game in his last three contests.
