CHICAGO — Saquon Barkley took no satisfaction from the team result, naturally, not after the Bears routed the Giants, 29-3, on Sunday at Soldier Field.
But he acknowledged that his first 100-yard rushing day in 24 ½ months was a satisfying milestone, even more so because of where it happened.
It was in Chicago on Sept. 20, 2020, that the running back suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that cost him the rest of last season and still seemed to haunt him in this one.
