Saquon Barkley had to take over at QB for the Giants and it actually went pretty well

Saquon Barkley Giants Daniel Jones Bears Christian DAndrea Tyrod Taylor

In the slugfest unwatchable mess that was Giants and Bears (-3) on Sunday, we still got a few silly football surprises worth noting. For example, noted Elusive Athlete Daniel Jones had almost 70 yards rushing with two scores on the ground. The hapless Bears and Justin Fields, meanwhile, managed to piece together three red-zone worthy possessions and somehow failed to score a touchdown anyway.

But it’s Saquon Barkley’s cameo at quarterback for the Giants that should probably make most headlines. After an injury to backup Tyrod Taylor forced the Giants’ hand, they put their star running back … at quarterback. With hurt starter Daniel Jones on the field!

The result of this initial play (and drive)? A solid rush up the middle and an eventual field goal for the Giants!

If you’re the Bears, and you lose a team with 71 passing yards and a running back under center, it’s time to look in the mirror. If you’re the Giants, you should smile. You just won a game, 20-12, by bullying a team in an old-fashioned manner.
