Saquon Barkley’s torn ACL will have a ripple effect on the New York Giants

Nobody expected the New York Giants to be a playoff team in 2020. But ownership and fans expected the team to at least improve on its win total from a season ago and play meaningful games in the second half of the year.

Nonetheless, all of that seemed to go up in smoke on Sunday when Saquon Barkley tore his ACL in the Giants’ 17-13 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Losing Barkley is devastating, considering he’s clearly the Giants’ best player and one that opposing teams spend hours game-planning against.
