PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley has said he wasn’t scared of making history. Chasing Eric Dickerson’s record was something he wanted to pursue, and something his teammates wanted to help him achieve.
Barkley let the decision come down to the Eagles. They decided to rest him for the Week 18 finale against the New York Giants, as Barkley will end his season with 2,005 yards — 101 shy of breaking Dickerson’s 40-year old record.
