Barkley backs up his dynamic and fierce running (295 rushes for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns) with great skills catching the football (57 receptions for 338 yards). Beyond throwing the football (career high passer rating of 92.5), Jones has been heavily involved as a runner this season.
Consider from 2022-21, Jones rushed 127 times for 721 yards and three scores. This season? He rushed 120 times for 708 yards and seven scores.
Three weeks ago, Barkley totaled 84 rushing yards on 14 carries, highlighted by a 27-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Jones added 34 yards on four rushes, combining for 118 of the Giants 126 rushing yards on the day.
Barkley was one of three New York players to record eight catches. He finished with 49 yards thanks to a long of 18.
“We know he has a bunch of tools, and we know they’re going to get him the ball anyway they can, different types of looks, but it’s up to us to see that,” linebacker Eric Kendricks said. “We had that a couple of weeks ago, so it prepared us for the kind of skill set he has, but we’ve got to play it as we see it.”
Jones finished 30-of-42 passing for 334 yards with one touchdown and an interception nabbed by Patrick Peterson. His passer rating of 92.8 was right on par with the 92.5 he totaled this season.
“Dual threat, he’s very confident in the pocket, an awesome scrambler,” nickel cornerback Chandon Sullivan said. “He’s faster than what people give him credit for. We’ve definitely got to keep our eyes on him and Saquon.”
