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.

Saquon Barkley was inactive Sunday for the Philadelphia Eagles, denying the running back his chance at breaking Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record.

Now that Saquon Barkley is part of ht 2,000 yard club, will the Philadelphia Eagles allow him to rush for the title in Week 18?

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

The Eagles are resting Saquon Barkley in Week 18, which means he’ll fall 100 yards short of Eric Dickerson’s single-season record

Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's previous rushing yards record in 1984, almost a decade after the former Heisman Trophy winner set his mark. Now, 40 years after Dickerson's incredible feat, Barkley has the chance to make his own history... and hopefully the Eagles give him that chance.

Saquon Barkley is not playing against the Giants, and his season ends with 2,005 rushing yards, 100 shy of Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season record.

With making a run at the Super Bowl a priority, the Eagles rested their core starters, notably running back Saquon Barkley, quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and offensive linemen Landon Dickerson and Lane Johnson.

The Philadelphia Eagles are resting Saquon Barkley, meaning he won't get any rushing yards today against the New York Giants and won't break Dickerson's record.
