Sterling Shepard made Saquon Barkley’s big moment possible

ARLINGTON, Texas — It is right there, on the highlight film, and will remain there in perpetuity. Whenever anyone views Saquon Barkley’s first NFL touchdown, they will see Sterling Shepard leading the way with his lingering downfield block of Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye.

“It honestly feels real good to me,’’ Shepard told The Post. “It feels like, not quite like you’re scoring a touchdown, but it feels good when you spring one of your boys for a big one, especially his first TD.’’

Barkley’s 68-yard run was brilliant and garnered the expected reaction when the Giants gathered to review the 20-15 loss.
