Daniel Jones battered as Giants lose in Saquon Barkley’s return

Sports

For fans suffering a sports hangover Sunday afternoon in the wake of the Yankees’ playoff exit, the action at MetLife provided little in the way of a cure.

Saquon Barkley’s return from a high-ankle sprain was not enough to spark the Giants to victory as they fumbled away two late chances for a game-winning drive in a 27-21 loss to the Cardinals at a soggy MetLife Stadium.

After letting Cardinals backup running back Chase Edmonds — the pride of Fordham — steal the show early, the Giants had recovered to have multiple shots to win it late.
