Giants vs. Saints Players of the Game: Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley

The New York Giants defeated the New Orleans Saints in Week 4 and QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley earn our Players of the Game.

The losing streak is over. For at least one week, the New York Giants figured out how to close out a win and tasted victory. They had to go to overtime to do so, but at Caesars Superdome, the Giants found a way to get the win, as they defeated the New Orleans Saints, 27-21.

The two biggest parts of the offense ended up being two of the biggest contributors that helped notch the first win.

Daniel Jones, who went 28-of-40 for 402 yards and threw two touchdowns with one pick. He had a 52-yard touchdown pass to John Ross, who made his season debut for the Giants.

The other touchdown pass from Jones was a 54-yard pass to Saquon Barkley.

Barkley had the game-winning score from six yards out. That touchdown was set up by a 23-yard catch by Kenny Golladay.

Barkley, who is coming off of a year away from football after undergoing ACL surgery, had 13 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown. He also had five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown, which gave him 126 total yards for the game.

The Giants desperately needed a game like this from both of their stars and with them visiting the 3-1 Dallas Cowboys next week. They picked a great time to get off the winless streak and notch their first win of 2021.
