Following Daniel Jones, New York Giants topping Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens in East Rutherford New Jersey Saquon Barkely had this to say about touchdown he scored with 1:43 remaining in game!
The run before that, I feel like if I really wanted to, I could have went this way and kind of scored, but I was focused on protecting the ball,""I ran up to Dabs and was making sure, 'We're not scoring here, right?' And he told me, 'Yeah.' Did a spin move, had an opportunity and just got down. I knew once you get the first down, that secures the win."
Following Daniel Jones, New York Giants topping Lamar Jackson 24-20 Brian Dabdoll had this to say about the game!
It's not always going to be perfect. There will be a lot of people down on you. And you might be down on yourself, wish you could do better. But you keep on getting back up. You keep on swinging, keep on competing, regardless of the score or the situation of the game."
