ARLINGTON, Texas -- New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley tied an NFL record with 14 receptions in Sunday night’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, which could be looked at as a bright spot during an otherwise bleak offensive effort. Or it could conversely be viewed as troubling, when you figure all that work equated to a total of 80 yards gained and none of the passes was thrown more than 10 yards downfield.
Barkley had to make more than a few tacklers miss to get those 80 yards as he worked overtime in the passing game.
