Matt Breida Draws Third Straight Start, Lacks Production

Matt Breida Draws Third Straight Start, Lacks Production

one year ago

New York Giants running back Matt Breida logged a third straight start in Week 5 in place of starter Saquon Barkley (ankle) but was out-touched by rookie Eric Gray on Sunday. Breida ultimately ran the ball nine times for 21 yards and added one catch for three yards in the team's 31-16 loss to the Dolphins. Gray rushed the ball on 12 occasions. The Giants' offense was still unable to find any traction, even against a below-average Miami defense. New York's only touchdown came on an interception just before halftime. Barkley is getting closer to returning from his ankle ailment, which will relegate Breida to backup duty.
