EAST RUTHERFORD Parris Campbell Jersey , N.J. (AP) — There seems to be no limit to Saquon Barkley’s upside.Just when it seems the New York Giants‘ rookie running back has shown just about everything he can do on the football field, the second pick overall in the NFL draft finds another way to impress people.Take a look at Sunday’s’ 30-27 overtime win over the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears.While Barkley failed to score for only the fourth time 12 games, he rushed for 125 yards on 24 carries and helped set up 13 points.His 22-yard run on a third-and-23 draw play set up a team-record 57-yard field goal by Aldrick Rosas on the final play of the half. The play that had everyone talking was his 17-yard catch and run that ended with his hurdle over former Penn State teammate Adrian Amos. It led to a 1-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Odell Beckham Jr .Finally, there was his 29-yard run on the first play from scrimmage in the overtime. Rosas capped the drive with a 44-yard field goal that provided the winning margin when the Giants’ defense stopped Chicago on the final series.“I said it early and I really believe it, he’s got a generational spirit in terms of how he competes, and I have not been —WE have not been — disappointed in (any) way,” coach Pat Shurmur said of Barkley on Monday. “He’s extremely talented running the ball, catching the ball, he blocks well, we’re doing what we can to give him the football so he has an impact on the game, and I think he has.”Barkley’s statistics are impressive.His 954 yards rushing are third in the NFL behind Todd Gurley (1,175) of the Rams and Ezekiel Elliott (1 http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/miles-boykin-jersey-cheap ,150) of the Cowboys. He has exceeded 100 yards from scrimmage in 11 of 12 games and his 100-yard game rushing Sunday was his third in a row and fifth of the season.Catching three passes for 21 yards also gave Barkley 74 catches, tying tight end Jeremy Shockey (2002) for the second-highest total by a Giants rookie. Beckham holds the franchise rookie record with 91 in 2014.Barkley has downplayed his statistics all season, but he knows the significance of running for 1,000 yards. He would need 46 yards Sunday against Washington to hit the mark.“It would be special because obviously one, it’s the NFL, and two, when you get 1,000 yards, it’s not just yourself getting 1,000 yards, it’s your team getting 1,000 yards. It’s the offense and especially the offensive line http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-bobby-okereke-jersey Jersey ,” Barkley said.The biggest adjustment Barkley has had to make this season is dealing with losing. New York was 1-7. It has now won three of four since its bye week, including Sunday’s game in which it blew a 10-point lead in the final 1:13 of the fourth quarter.However, the Giants found a way to win in overtime.“It just put everything in perspective from all the hard work that we’ve been putting in all season to go out there and beat a really good team and who was playing lights out up to that game or even in that game, they played really well, too,” Barkley said. “Definitely gives you confidence, and even though the season hasn’t been going how we want it to go.Barkley now has 1,556 yards from scrimmage, so he needs 444 yards to become the third rookie in league history to reach 2,000 yards from scrimmage. Eric Dickerson set the record of 2,212 in 1983, while Edgerrin James had 2 Noah Fant Jersey ,139 in 1981.Barkley said it’s hard to describe some of the things he does on the field. The jump over Amos was on instinct.“Some things you can’t explain and I give a lot of credit to God in a situation like that, my genetics, my mom and dad,” the 21-year-old Barkley said. “But a lot of that is also hard work, training my body to when you’re put in those positions to be able to make those cuts and make those moves.”NOTES: Giants starting LB Tae Davis had a walking boot on his left foot (ankle). … WR Sterling Shepard (ribs) said an MRI showed tissue damage. He expects to play Sunday. … Shurmur had his doubts either TE Evan Engram (hamstring) or LB Lorenzo Carter (hip) would return this week.… Rookie Kyle Lauletta was the backup Sunday and veteran Alex Tanney was inactive. Shurmur said that probably will be the same order this week. … Lauletta had been inactive for the first 11 games. Shurmur reiterated Manning is his starter. SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Josh Rosen got word a couple of days before the game that the Arizona Cardinals would take a deep strike on the opening play in hopes of waking up a struggling offense.It couldn’t have worked any better.Rosen threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie Christian Kirk on Arizona’s opening snap and the Cardinals then turned the game over to their opportunistic defense to earn their first win of the season, 28-18 over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.“We were just trying to get a spark in any way possible and just try to get our offense going,” Rosen said. “We haven’t been scoring as many points as we wanted to. I think we took a really good first step.”The Cardinals (1-4) gained just 145 yards the rest of the game but it didn’t matter because the defense took the ball away from the 49ers (1-4) five times, including a 23-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Josh Bynes and two more turnovers that set up short TD runs by David Johnson on drives that went a combined 44 yards.For a team that had scored just 37 points through four games, fewest for the franchise since 1945, and gained just 834 yards in the first four games, tied for the fewest in the NFL in 16 years http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/dalton-risner-jersey , this game signified progress.“We’ll take all of the ugly ones we can get,” receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. “It wasn’t pretty but we started off with a bang. The fireworks came early and they came late. So that was good.”Fitzgerald had just two catches for 35 yards but proved to be a capable decoy on the first play when free safety Adrian Colbert jumped up in coverage, allowing Kirk to get open deep.That was one of the few poor plays by San Francisco’s defense, but that was enough for a loss.“It was just an undisciplined play by me,” Colbert said. “I saw Larry flash and it was just a bad play on my part. It is something that I have to correct.”Here are some other takeaways from the game:STATISTICAL MISMATCHThe Niners had the decided edge in yardage (447-220), first downs (33-10) and offensive plays (92-49), but still ended up on the losing side. San Francisco set a franchise record for plays and had the most for any team in a loss since 2013. But the five turnovers, including four by backup quarterback C.J. Beathard, were the most for the team in five years.“You look at a lot of those (stats), it’s hard to find how you lost a game,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “Then it’s very easy when you look at the turnover column. I haven’t been part of any game, I don’t think many people have Drew Lock Jersey , where five turnovers to zero leads to a win. We have to improve that drastically to have a chance.”TAKE IT AWAYThe Cardinals had plenty of contributors on defense on a day when they could have easily been tired. Tre Boston and Bene Benwikere had interceptions, Bynes had the fumble return for a TD after a strip sack by Haason Reddick, Chandler Jones had his own strip sack and recovery and Patrick Peterson returned a fumble 49 yards to set up Johnson’s first TD run.“We just knew that we had to dig deep,” Jones said. “It wasn’t about being tired, but it was about walking off that field with a win. That was our biggest thing tonight.”BREIDA’S ANKLEMatt Breida got off to a fast start for the 49ers with eight carries for 56 yards and a 5-yard TD catch in the first quarter before going down with a sprained right ankle. The injury initially looked to be much more serious, but Breida was able to walk on it during the game and isn’t overly concerned.“I didn’t know what happened at first,” he said. “It was just a little tweak. I have been battling through injuries the past two weeks. I was just trying to get out there and play. I will be all right.”BEATHARD’S DAYBeathard fell to 1-6 as a starter in his career as he once again held onto the ball too long and made too many mistakes. Beathard completed 34 of 54 passes for 349 yards but threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles.“You can’t win ball games turning the ball over five times,” Beathard said. “I feel like we played well in all the other aspects except for turnovers. Just got to take better care of the ball.”
