With a first half that saw a series of miscues, the Giants started off the second half hot with RB Saquon Barkley finding the endzone for the second time tonight.
Barkley's second score gave the G-Men their first lead of the night at 14-10 over the Packers with 11:22 remaining in the third quarter.

The No. 2 overall pick from 2018 only had one rushing touchdown on the season that came all the way back in Week 2 in a 31-28 victory over the Cardinals.
The Giants were setup with great field position after Packers' returner Keisean Nixon muffed the punt at his own 28-yard line and was recovered by linebacker Benton Whitley.
