Saquon Barkley Ends Season On a High Note

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley continued his hot streak on Sunday, rushing for 92 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. 68 of those yards came on his one touchdown run, but the game-breaking ability has been lacking for much of this season so it was good to see it back.
