Saquon Barkley just wants the Giants to keep winning

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The only thing that seemingly matters to Saquon Barkley entering his fifth season with the New York Giants is winning. After four straight losing seasons — the Giants have had five in a row — Barkley had the rare feeling of seeing New York edge the Titans 21-20 for his first NFL season-opening win. “I’m just coming into work,” Barkley said Wednesday after practice. “I’ve got to be better in ball security, got to be better in pass pro.” Barkley, who missed almost all of the 2020 season with an ACL injury and was limited to 593 yards last season, felt he left yards on the field. So I think this is a good opportunity for our defense to go out there and shut down the run and set the tone for what the next 16 games can look like for us.” NOTES: Second-year WR Kadarius Toney, New York’s first-round pick last year, only got seven snaps in the opener after missing much of training camp with injuries.
