LANDOVER, Md. — The stats were terrific, befitting Saquon Barkley’s status as one of the NFL’s elite running backs.
He had 22 carries for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown. There were four catches for 90 yards and another score.
But the one stat that was most important of all to the Giants’ second-year tailback?
“The only thing that matters is the win,” Barkley said after the Giants’ 41-35 overtime win against the Redskins at FedEx Field on Sunday.
