Wayne Gallman was close to tears.
And this was before he produced 118 yards of offense and scored two touchdowns — one rushing and one receiving — in the Giants’ 24-3 win over the Redskins on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Before the game, Gallman, the Giants’ third-year running back who lives in the shadows of Saquon Barkley, could hardly contain his emotions. He was starting in place of the injured Barkley, who’s out for at least a month with a high ankle sprain, and he wanted to make it count.
This was Gallman’s moment.
