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

Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson raised eyebrows and attracted some criticism when he admitted in December he didn't want Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles to break the single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards that Dickerson set in 1984.

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.

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.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is nipping at the heels of the all-time single-season rushing record — Dickerson’s 2,105 yards, secured with the Los Angeles Rams in 1984 — but the record-holder doesn’t think Barkley’s going to finish the job.

Barkley currently sits at 2,005 yards, meaning he’d need just 101 more to eclipse Dickerson. Adding to the drama, Barkley played for the woeful Giants for six seasons before his former team allowed him to walk away from New York in the spring.

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.

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

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.

Those veteran running backs who changed addresses in the offseason have given themselves a chance to showcase the difference they can make in the postseason.

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.
