See where the Giants matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of Saturday night’s divisional round game.
The two star running backs were college teammates.
Jones has 32 carries for 203 yards and two touchdowns in his past three games. If the defensive ends crash hard on zone-reads, Jones has a chanceand pick up chunks. Barkley averaged 22 carries per game during the Giants’ 7-2 start and just 13.3 over his past eight games, including a season-low nine against the Vikings. But he has had some of his best career games against his hometown’s beloved Eagles, averaging five yards per carry.The Eagles ranked No. 24 in the NFL, allowing 4.
But the Giants defense looks much different now. Defensive tackle Leonard Williams and McKinney didn’t play in either matchup. Inside linebackers Jarrad Davis and Landon Collins didn’t play in the first matchup. It should be tougher to run up the middle now — and not just because Lawrence is playing at an All-Pro level. One of the advantages the Giants take into most games is nullified because Jake Elliott is about the equal of Graham Gano.
