New YNoerkw PYoosrtk, PMoostn,daMy,onNdoavy,e Jmubnere 290, 20212 nypost.com Saquon Barkley insists
the Monstars did not take
his football powers away.

The first time Barkley
touched the ball Sunday,
he gained 1 yard on a re-
ception. His second touch
was a rushing attempt for
a 1-yard gain. Next, a run
for no yards. The Giants
have a new offensive coor-
dinator, but the same old
problems with Barkley
and their rushing attack
were evident in the 13-7
victory over the Eagles at
MeLife Stadium.

GIANTS
NOTES

The final stats say Bark-

ley had 13 rushing at-

tempts for 40 yards, an av-

erage of 3.1 yards per carry.

Not good. It was actually

worse than that. His only All or nothing: Giants running back Saquon

the past two years than any other
team in the NHL.

That may — finally — be taking a
