EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Listening to the New York Giants talk after Sunday's 23-17 victory in Jacksonville sounded somewhat unrecognizable. They weren't simply content with a win.
Coach Brian Daboll almost immediately noted they had "made it tougher than we needed to." Not long after, running back Saquon Barkley spoke in a hushed, somewhat somber tone, as if the Giants had just lost. He opined that he ran soft and didn't play particularly well in the first half. Quarterback Daniel Jones also apologized for getting frustrated with his wide receivers for dropping passes left and right.
