Saquon Barkley had grown weary of the questions.
Why were his rushing totals down? Could his ankle still be hindering him?
He ran for at least 100 yards seven times last season on the way to rushing for 1,307 yards and being named the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year. Then he posted 100-yard games for the Giants in the first two weeks of this season. But after returning from a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 3 that cost him three games, he wasn't the same running back.
