Saquon Barkley Eyes NFL Rushing Record

Saquon Barkley is on the brink of breaking Eric Dickerson's long-standing NFL rushing record of 2,105 yards, needing 268 yards over the final two games of the season. Following a strong performance against the Commanders where he rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns, Barkley has accumulated 1,838 rushing yards this season. Complicating his pursuit is the potential absence of quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is in concussion protocol, and the Eagles' possible decision to rest players if they secure a playoff spot. Barkley has demonstrated remarkable capability, achieving four rushing touchdowns over 60 yards this season, a feat only matched by two other players in NFL history. The upcoming match against the Cowboys, who have a weak run defense, will be critical for his record chase. However, if the Eagles lock in their playoff position, Barkley may not have the opportunity to play in the final game against the Giants.
