The full read
Saquon Barkley scored against the Giants and found little else: 13 carries for 22 yards and a touchdown, worth -4.5 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position. Only 2 of the 13 were successful, meaning they gained what the situation asked for. His one target fell incomplete.
The carry that cost the most came up 8-6 with 2:00 left in the half. Fourth and 1 at the New York 40, he went up the middle and Jevón Holland stopped him for a 1-yard loss: -2.9 EPA and 11.1 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. The score came earlier, down 6-0 late in the first quarter: third and 3 at the 3, he ran in off left tackle to tie it, +2.1 EPA, and Joe Milton III's two-point run made it 8-6. In the third he lost 5 yards on second and 8 from his own 23.
It was well below his season. Through Week 8, in six games, he had 56 carries for 274 yards, 2 touchdowns and +1.0 EPA; here he gave back -0.35 a carry. The touchdown was his third of the season and his third in three games.
