Variety of reasons for Giants’ running game woes

But of the 11 teams behind New York on this list, only three offenses have fewer total rushing attempts. Only 10 teams average more yards per rushing attempt than the Giants. To the naked eye, you would think this rushing attack is far worse than what these numbers tell us. But much more alarming, Saquon Barkley has only run for 461 yards and averages just 3.9 yards per carry. In his rookie season, Barkley ran for more than 1,300 yards and averaged an even...

He knows what his statistics are, and what the New York Giants record is. He’s tired, though, of hearing about how the Week 3 high ankle sprain he suffered is seemingly still affecting him. He said on Wednesday that his 22-yard run late in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears should tell you what you need to know. “Did I look hurt? I know that’s what you’re going towards.
