Saquon Barkley Eyes NFL Rushing Record

Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles is within striking distance of breaking the NFL single-season rushing record, needing just 101 yards to surpass Eric Dickerson's mark of 2,105 yards. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is deliberating whether to play Barkley in the regular season finale against the New York Giants, as the team has already secured a playoff berth. Barkley has been a standout performer this season, amassing 1,838 rushing yards through 15 games and positioning himself as a strong MVP candidate. While Barkley expressed a desire to achieve greatness, he emphasized team goals over individual records, indicating he is comfortable with whatever decision is made regarding his playing status. Despite a recent loss, the Eagles are poised to secure the NFC East title with a win in their upcoming game. Jalen Hurts, the team’s star quarterback, is expected to return soon, bolstering the team's playoff aspirations.
