Offensive line, Saquon Barkley’s discipline helped Giants dictate to Tampa Bay

The New York Giants entered Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the league most inefficient rushing team. They entered with questions about whether their rebuilt and then rebuilt yet again offensive line could open consistent rushing lanes. They entered with questions about whether their explosive rookie running back was willing to lower his shoulders, follow the lanes that were there and take the tough yards.

They left the field Sunday having manhandled the Buccaneers on the ground (31 carries, 163 yards, 5.3 yards per attempt, two touchdowns) during a 38-35 victory, their highest-scoring game since 2015.
