Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was denied the chance to break the NFL rushing record after being rested in the last week of the regular season.

Nick Sirianni won 14 games for the second time in three years. Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore turned around their careers as coordinators. Saquon Barkley had his best season as a runner. Jalen Hurts had his most efficient season as a passer.

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.

Saquon Barkley was rested in the final week of the regular NFL season by his coach Nick Sirianni, and Terry Bradshaw criticised the decision.

Now is not the time, Saquon Barkley says. Reflection comes at the end of this season, no matter the meaningfulness of its milestones. He’s resisting the sound of them toppling like towers. He won’t peek at the panorama of his production.

Sean McVay dissected the ways the Rams could potentially stop Saquon Barkley — only the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history — when he considered the consequences if they did not. “If they get a beat on what you’re doing,

If Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is serious about ending that drought, he would hire Moore because of his potential as a head coach − and because Moore knows the inner workings of the Cowboys' main NFC East rival, the Eagles.

Bradberry's Eagles tenure was tainted by a bad 2023 season, but he was excellent in 2022, earning an All-Pro nod. Slay also made the Pro Bowl that season, and the Eagles had the No. 1 pass defense in the NFL. Maddox was still a good player at the time, but he couldn't stay on the field.

This time last year the coach's job was in peril. Fifteen wins later, two games from a second Super Bowl appearance, he clearly deserves a new deal.

“It wasn’t tempting,” Barkley said after Sunday’s 22-10 win over the Packers. “Situational football. No mas. It’s first down, you win the game. Get the first down, get down. Don’t matter.”

Following their Wild Card win over the Packers, Eagles HC Nick Sirianni gave his praise to RB Saquon Barkley for his selflessness.
