What we learned from Giants’ 41-35 victory over Redskins

The New York Giants defeated the Washington Redskins, 41-35, in Week 16 and here’s some of what we learned from that win.

On Sunday, the New York Giants got their fourth win of the season when they defeated the Washington Redskins in overtime.

It was the Giants’ game to lose from the beginning, scoring on their first drive and never slowing down. The Redskins would keep it close and send the game to overtime, but the Giants emerged victorious behind a solid offensive effort.

Here’s what we learned from the Giants victory on the road:

Saquon Barkley is back to 100%

The Giants’ use of Saquon Barkley hasn’t been the same this year as it was last year, and it shows in their record. Sure, he missed a few games with an injury and maybe wasn’t 100% when he returned.

Against the Redskins on Sunday, though, Barkley proved that he is absolutely back to 100%. He recorded a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, an average of nearly 8.6 yards per carry. He also set the team’s all-time record for yards from scrimmage.

Saquon is back to form, and it’s a beautiful thing.
