Joe Buck and Troy Aikman Deliver a Brutal Reality Check to the Giants During Ravens-Chargers MNF
When the New York Giants chose to pay quarterback Daniel Jones over running back Saquon Barkley, many saw it as a decision that would eventually backfire. On Monday Night Football, during the game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens, announcers Joe Buck and Troy Aikman took every opportunity to remind viewers of the Giants’ miscalculation. “John Mara’s gotta be so sick of that clip and hearing about, ‘I’m not gonna be able to sleep if [Saquon Barkley] goes to Philly,’” Buck remarked, pointing out how Barkley is now thriving with the Eagles. Aikman added, “And they decided to keep Daniel Jones. Now, they don’t have either,” emphasizing how the Giants lost both their star running back and their quarterback. Meanwhile, Barkley is having a career year with the Eagles, leading the league in rushing yards, leaving the Giants to regret their decisions more than ever.
