Can Orleans Darkwa, Giants’ running game keep this up?

Orleans Darkwa has waited four years for the feeling he had when he got out of bed Monday morning.

“It feels good to get that workload,” said Darkwa after setting career highs in carries (21) and yards (117) in Sunday night’s 23-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. “I woke up that next morning a little sore. Gotta like it. I like that feeling.”

The Giants have gotta like the work the 25-year-old fourth-year running back has done for them this season.

In limited opportunities the past couple of seasons, Darkwa has given glimpses of what he might be able to do.
