LANDOVER, Md. – Sterling Shepard was on one knee, pumping his fist in the air, after having just crashed into Josh Norman 40 yards away from the line of scrimmage. The wide receiver had bolted down the field to throw a key open-field block that allowed Saquon Barkley to pick up another dozen or so yards on his 52-yard run just before the two-minute warning. It wasn’t a touchdown – that would come two snaps later – but it was the kind of play that summed up just about every element of Sunday’s Giants game against the Redskins.
Domination followed by celebration.
