The other half of the Washington Football Team’s once-dangerous Pistol offense pairing was dusted off this week, too.

Four days after Robert Griffin III returned to the spotlight as a fill-in starter for the Baltimore Ravens, the much-less-hyped Alfred Morris scored his first two touchdowns since Dec. 30, 2018 on Sunday as the Giants stunned the Seattle Seahawks, 17-12, at Lumen Field.

Morris was out of the NFL — using bags of mulch to create a makeshift bench press to stay ready for an opportunity — until Sept. 29, when the two-time Pro Bowler humbly accepted a spot on the Giants practice squad. Morris remained in roster purgatory until Nov. 2, when he was promoted to replace the injured Devonta Freeman.

“Most days I didn’t doubt,” Morris said, “but there were a couple days I was like, ‘Why am I training? Why am I doing this? It looks bleak.’ I was reminded why I kept going. I’m super thankful the opportunity presented itself. It’s been a while since I got in the end zone, so that felt really nice.”

It was Freeman — not Morris, who will turn 32 years old this week — who got the first call to replace Saquon Barkley after the most important player in the offense suffered a season-ending injury. But the Giants’ faith in Morris was proven on Nov. 13 when he was added to the active roster.

While Wayne Gallman topped 100 yards rushing for the first time in his career, Morris finished off the two third-quarter scoring drives that took the Giants from scoreless to in control. Gallman needed a breather after a 60-yard run and the Giants didn’t miss a beat by handing to Morris for a 13-yard run and then a 4-yard power touchdown to take the lead.

“We said, ‘They can’t keep this up the entire game,’” Morris said. “They came out and played us like the Bengals did [last week] — they wanted to stack the box, shoot every gap and basically make us one dimensional. We knew we had to keep the run game going and continue to run hard.”

After forcing a turnover on downs, the Giants called four straight handoffs to move the ball from the 48-yard line to the 6. Just as the Seahawks sold out for another handoff, Colt McCoy rolled out to his right and tossed an easy touchdown pass to Morris, who juggled the catch but celebrated with a home-run swing.

“I was just so wide open,” Morris said after the first touchdown reception of his nine-year NFL career. “I assumed somebody was going to be there.”

Morris’ best seasons were his first three, when he rushed for 3,962 yards for Washington during the 2012-14 seasons. He played most of that time with RG3 in a unique two-headed rushing offense adopted by Mike Shanahan.

But Morris also teamed with McCoy at the end of his tenure in Washington. In fact, Morris ran for 73 yards and a touchdown in McCoy’s most recent victory as a starter, Oct. 27, 2014. Six years later, McCoy-to-Morris is the Giants’ unlikeliest of all upset combinations.

“It was easy,” Morris said. “It was comfortable.”
