Saquon Barkley finished with 2,005 rushing yards this season, 101 short of setting a new single-season record despite sitting out Week 18.

Barkley didn't get another chance at topping 2,105 rushing yards, but he did match Dickerson's historic 1984 season in another area.

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.

Dickerson's mindset is the same as Barkley's at this point. In 1984, the Los Angeles Rams star lost in the first round of the playoffs to the New York Giants. His record, while special, did not include a Super Bowl ring.

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

Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season ... Barkley won’t play in Week 18’s finale against the New York Giants, per head coach Nick Sirianni.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that key starters, including running back Saquon Barkley, will rest against the Giants.

NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson can breathe easy knowing his single-season rushing record will remain intact for at least another year. The Philadelphia Eagles have announced they'll rest star running back Saquon Barkley in their regular-season finale against the New York Giants, leaving him just short of Dickerson's historic mark.

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.

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

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, linebacker Zack Baun, offensive tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata were among the notable players who didn’t make it, but they still could get voted to the Associated Press 2024 NFL All-Pro team, which is selected by media members.
