Saquon Barkley is capable of dominating without big plays

Last season, Barkley had over 20 big plays on the year (15+ yards). On Sunday, his longest play was 12 yards, yet he recorded 112 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.

Finally, the Giants got back to what works and utilized their most dangerous weapon. Barkley doesn’t need to break off a huge run in order to be effective and make an impact. He just needs touches. Now let’s see if Pat Shurmur can learn something from this win and continue to make use of his most dominating offensive weapon.
