Until Saquon Barkley burst for runs of 78 and 52 yards Sunday, no Giants player managed two runs of 50 or more yards in the same game in nearly 12 years, since Tiki Barber did it Dec. 30, 2006. Barkley, like Barber, did it by punishing the same franchise on the same green grass.
“It reminded me of some of those great games I had against the Washington Redskins and the big plays that just seem to open up down there at FedEx Field,’’ Barber told The Post on Tuesday.
Barber piled up a career-high and single-game Giants record 234 rushing yards in what was the final game of his NFL career.
