Sunday was a pretty good day for the New York Giants. Odell Beckham Jr. missed the game against the Washington Redskins with an injury, but contrary to some popular beliefs in the buildup to the game, the offense didn’t miss a step and even surprisingly performed better than in the games where Beckham was healthy.
Not only did Eli Manning throw for three touchdowns but Saquon Barkley rushed for a career high in yards as well as a touchdown of his own, averaging 12.1 yards per attempt in the very same game. Evan Engram had fallen out of use before his injury, but in his return, even he made an impact for the offense with 77 receiving yards on three catches.
