Saquon Barkley seemed to be banging his Big Blue helmet against a green-and-white wall, repeatedly running into the Eagles very quickly after he began carrying the ball.

In the late stages of the third quarter at MetLife Stadium Sunday, the Giants had given up the go-ahead touchdown and Barkley had all of 10 yards on 11 carries. But on the next offensive play, Barkley burst through a crease on the right side and didn’t stop until he had zipped 68 yards into the end zone.
