If you want someone or something to blame for Saquon Barkley’s failure to break Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record, look no further than the coaches and the quarterback. Eagles coaches love to have Jalen Hurts run on purpose.

Nick Sirianni says we’ll see when asked about Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles going for NFL’s single-season rushing record

Barkley became only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards last week against the Cowboys. He’s at 2,005 — exactly 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson, who set the mark of 2,105 in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams.

The running back needs 101 yards to break Eric Dickerson's 40-year-old NFL record, but the Eagles have nothing to play for as a team Sunday when they close out their regular season against the Giants.

Barkley would finish the season with 2,005 yards rushing, just 101 yards shy of breaking Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards set with the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.

Jason Kelce weighed in on whether he wanted to see Saquon Barkley get a chance to break the rushing record or if he should have rested with the Eagles' playoff seed locked up.

The Philadelphia Eagles are having an excellent 2024 season. Philadelphia finished the regular season with a record of 14-3 and an NFC East division title. Now the Eagles are preparing for a Wild Card showdown with the Packers on Sunday.

During the latest edition of his "New Heights" podcast, Jason Kelce suggested that he would've let Saquon Barkley chase history.

Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce was definitely disappointed he didn't get to watch Saquon Barkley attempt to break the rushing record last Sunday in the season finale since coach Nick Sirianni rested the running back ahead of the playoffs.

Like many NFL fans, Jason Kelce was bummed that Saquon Barkley didn't get a chance to break the NFL's single-season rushing record in Week 18. Barkley entered Sunday 100 rushing yards shy of Eric Dickerson's all-time benchmark.
