The running back was 101 yards away from the NFL single-season rushing record, but his head coach decided the starters needed to rest in the regular-season finale against the Giants Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Saquon Barkley is on the doorstep of NFL history. The Philadelphia Eagles back is just 101 rushing yards away from passing Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson for the single-season rushing record. With a game left,

The Philadelphia Eagles have nothing to play for, but Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.

When news broke that Saquon Barkley was not going to play in the Philadelphia Eagles ' Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants, the one person fans wanted to hear from – save SB 2K himself – was head coach Nick Sirianni.

Nick Sirianni and Tanner McKee celebrated this Eagles player for stepping up in Week 18. After being a largely forgotten part of the Philadelphia Eagles' offense for the vast majority of the 2024 NFL season, few fans expected Jahan Dotson to do much of anything in Week 18 against the New York Giants.

Saquon Barkley will not be chasing Eric Dickerson’s rushing record when the Eagles play their season finale Sunday against the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. “We’re going to rest some guys,” Sirianni said Wednesday ahead of his team’s practice.

Nick Sirianni isn't ready to make a decision on whether Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, and the Eagles' starters will play or sit for Week 18 against the Giants.

The result of the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 18 clash against the New York Giants will have no impact on the team. Philadelphia is locked into the No. 2 seed whether it beats the Giants or not. The biggest thing to watch for is whether or not star running back Saquon Barkley will have a chance to go for the National Football League single-season rushing record.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spoke Wednesday about star running back Saquon Barkley and his odds of playing versus the New York Giants in Week 18. Sirianni said the Birds are going to rest some players and Barkley was likely to be one of them.

Sirianni went on to say that he is balancing what the best thing is for the Eagles and what the best thing is for the player. In Barkley's case, it would not be a surprise if he is fine with sitting out, as he declined staying in the game to go for a record against the Giants earlier in the season.
