Saquon Barkley is having his way in Sunday’s game.

The former Penn State running back and star for the New York Giants is in action against the Washington Redskins. With the first half starting to wind down, Barkley has already put up an insane stat line with the second half still to come.

It started with a long 67-yard touchdown run by Barkley in the first quarter. That run pushed Barkley over the 100-yard mark for the game very early on:

In the second quarter, Barkley scored again. This time, he ran a beautiful route down the seam and hauled in a 33-yard score:

As the game approaches halftime, Barkley already has 159 total yards and two touchdowns. How high will that total go for the game?
