Eagles Rest Saquon Barkley for Finale

Saquon Barkley will likely sit out the Philadelphia Eagles' final regular-season game against the New York Giants, missing the chance to break Eric Dickerson's long-standing single-season rushing record. Barkley finishes the season with 2,005 rushing yards, just 101 yards shy of the record. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni emphasized that the decision to rest Barkley was made to prevent injuries, as the team is already secured in the playoffs. Despite his desire to break the record, Barkley expressed peace with the decision and acknowledged the team's focus on playoff success. The Eagles, who have clinched the NFC East title, will host a wild-card playoff game regardless of the outcome against the Giants.
