NFL Week 4 roundup: Giants and Jets pick up first wins; Cowboys beat Panthers
LA TimesNEW ORLEANS — Saquon Barkley ran for a six-yard touchdown in overtime after Daniel Jones passed for a career-high 402 yards, and the New York Giants rallied for their first win of the season, 27-21, over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Saints, playing in New Orleans for the first time since Hurricane Ida struck Aug. 29, led 21-10 in the fourth quarter before Jones and Barkley combined for a 54-yard touchdown pass that ignited the Giants’ comeback. After New York won the coin toss to start the extra period, Jones completed five passes for 67 yards to set up Barkley’s winning score, giving the Giants a last-play victory for a change after they had lost on game-ending field goals the previous two weeks. Jameis Winston passed for 226 yards and a touchdown and reserve quarterback Taysom Hill ran for two touchdowns for the Saints, who wilted in front of nearly 70,000 fans in the first game played in the Caesars Superdome without restrictions on crowd size since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
