Giants’ Saquon Barkley ready to be a workhorse vs. Vikings

The Giants are set for a Christmas Eve rematch with the Minnesota Vikings during the NFL’s Wild Card weekend. If sixth-seeded Big Blue wants to come through with an upset, they’ll need a big game from a couple of specific guys on offense. Running back Saquon Barkley is definitely one of them.

After rushing for 593 yards in 13 games during the 2021 season, Barkley was back to his explosive self for New York this year. His 1,312 rushing yards finished among the league leaders, and it was also a single-season career-high mark. With free agency on the horizon, Barkley picked a good time to put up those kinds of numbers.
