Murray-NY Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Barkley looked like he had nowhere to run all day and as the frustration wore on, he looked more and more hesitant. A tone was set on the Giants\u2019 first offensive play from scrimmage when Detroit defensive lineman John Cominsky stuffed Barkley for a 3-yard loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the run game is not going, you\u2019re kind of tied with one hand behind your back,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cYou\u2019ve [then] got to pass the ball, so that\u2019s why it\u2019s important for myself to get this run game back on track and the best way to do that is moving on and getting ready for Thursday [at Dallas].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Barkley said he was \u201ctrying to take what they give me,\u201d adding, \u201cI was trying to focus on taking little runs, taking little runs, and when the opportunity comes, make them pay, and I didn\u2019t make them pay at all today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to give credit to all those boys over there and the [Lions] D-coordinator. They did a really good job today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giants center Jon Feliciano credited the Detroit defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re a good D-line,\u201d said Feliciano, who suffered what was believed to be a stinger in his neck and was knocked out of the game in the third quarter. \u201cWe\u2019ve just got to execute better, get everyone on the same page. They came out ready and all hats off to them. We can\u2019t turn the ball over. We haven\u2019t been doing that. It\u2019s tough on our defense when we do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The poor rushing effort also put strain on Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who pressed and threw two interceptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCredit to Detroit \u2014 they had a good plan and stopped us in some areas that we\u2019ve had success,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to look at ourselves and see where we can execute better.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
