Matt Breida Sees Only Four Touches Sunday Night

one year ago

New York Giants running back Matt Breida, as expected, saw his role dramatically decrease in the 14-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football with Saquon Barkley (ankle) making his return for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2. Breida finished the exciting game with four carries for 13 yards and failed to catch his only target in the passing game. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor had one more rushing attempt than Breida. The 28-year-old played just 18 of the team's 77 offensive snaps on the night after playing over half of the offensive snaps while Barkley was sidelined. Those that were rostering Breida while Barkley was hurt can now send him back to the waiver wire.
