The decision is strategic. It’s safe. Its logic is airtight. Yep. Logic. That’s why we watch sports, right? No, it’s not.

Saquon Barkley has said he wasn't scared of making history, but he understands the Eagles' decision to sit him in the regular season finale against the Giants.

Since Barkley is within striking distance of Dickerson's historic record, one that has stood for 40 years, there's a much bigger conversation than whether Barkley should play the Eagles' regular-season finale.

Barkley and some other regular starters will rest vs. the Giants. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Howie Roseman, Jeffrey Lurie and others, including Barkley, were consulted.

Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley is approaching a record held by Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson. Barkley needs just 268 yards over the next two games to break a record held by Dickerson since 1984. Barkley is approaching 2,000 rushing yards on the season, which only two other players have accomplished since 2010.

Saquon Barkley has had a miraculous 2024 season with the Philadelphia Eagles and fans have been feverishly speculating whether he will break Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. However, according to the running back, he's not all that concerned about it.

The Eagles opted for the smart play, keeping its top tailback healthy — and ensuring Dickerson’s rushing record hits a fifth decade.

Saquon Barkley is on the verge of history. Barkley exploded on Sunday as his Philadelphia Eagles smashed the Dallas Cowboys 41-7. The star running back racked up 167 yards on 31 carries, which put him over 2,000 rushing yards on the season. He became only the ninth player in NFL history to accomplish that feat and he still has one week to go.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said running back Saquon Barkley 'probably' won't play Sunday, which would leave ex-Rams star Eric Dickerson's 2,105-rushing yard record intact.

Eric Dickerson clarified his comments on Saquon Barkley and the rushing record, not that he needed to. Nothing he said is wrong.

An Eagles teammate of running back Saquon Barkley says that Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson should be supporting Barkley's attempt to break his record after DIckerson's comments.
