Running back Dalvin Cook‘s primary backup was on the field for 23% of the Vikings’ plays on offense, rushing seven times for 52 yards.— Rudolph was once again a nonfactor in the passing game despite his large share of the snaps. He finished with just one catch for four yards. The veteran tight end has had multiple catches in a single game just once this season, back in Week 2.— Fullback C.J. Ham was on the field for 30% of the offense’s snaps after appearing on just nine snaps a week ago.— Cornerback Mike Hughes, who made his season debut in Week 3, played a season-high 72% of the defensive snaps.— Cornerback Xavier Rhodes missed a few plays following a collision early on, but returned to play 91% of the defense’s snaps Ray-Ray Armstrong Jerseys 2019 , his second-largest share of the season.OFFENSEPLAYERPlays (71)%O’Neill71100%Reiff71100%Bradbury71100%Kline71100%Cousins71100%Elflein6693%Rudolph6490%Thielen6085%Diggs5375%Cook4766%Smith3651%Johnson3144%Ham2130%Mattison1623%Conlkin1217%Abdullah1014%Dozier57%Treadwell57%DEFENSEPLAYERPlays (69)%Harris69100%Kendricks69100%H.

Johnson1826%Wilson1420%Gedeon913%Boyd69%Kearse57%Holmes34% The Giants finally took a look at Kyle Lauletta, but there’s no signal that a changing of the guard is at hand.The Giants went up 40-0 before the end of the third quarter and they decided to give their fourth-round pick a chance to run the offense over the final 15 minutes of their laugher in Washington. Lauletta didn’t complete any of his five pass attempts and threw an interception, but the Giants still hung on for a 40-16 win.Saquon Barkley played a big role in building that lead as he ran for 159 yards and a touchdown in the first half of the game. Barkley finished with 170 yards on the ground to set a new high for his rookie season and push him well past 1,000 rushing yards for the season.Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes before halftime and added a third in the third quarter to help the Giants to their fourth win in the last five games. Those wins have all come with backups starting at quarterback for the opposing team, so it will be interesting to see how the Giants weigh their recent upturn when deciding about their plans at quarterback this offseason.The backup to start for Washington on Sunday was Mark Sanchez, but he was yanked in the third quarter in favor of Josh Johnson. Johnson ran for one touchdown and threw for another in his first regular season playing time since 2013. That’s a lot more than Sanchez — two interceptions White B.J. Goodson Jerseys , five sacks and six completions — managed, which will likely lead Washington to consider starting Johnson next week.While the Giants were playing a relaxed defense, Johnson’s mobility is something that could help given how little resistance the Washington offensive line provides against opposing pass rushers.The loss all but scuttles any lingering playoff hopes that might have existed in Washington. Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, who didn’t play due to a quad injury, said he wanted to be a spoiler on that front and the Giants can try to do the same to the Titans next weekend.
