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.
Barkley won the NFL’s rushing title with 2,005 yards in just 16 games. He became just the ninth player in league history to rush for at least 2,000 yards and fell 105 yards short of Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record (2,105).
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recently trolled New York Giants co-owner John Mara via an ad released last week that referenced comments Mara made about Barkley reaching free agency in March 2024.
Saquon Barkley is not playing against the Giants, and his season ends with 2,005 rushing yards, 100 shy of Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season record.

The Philadelphia Eagles are resting Saquon Barkley, meaning he won't get any rushing yards today against the New York Giants and won't break Dickerson's record.
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.
That includes Shipley, the Eagles' fourth-round pick this season. He has had just 20 carries for 50 yards. Sure, Kenny Gainwell is considered ahead of Shipley on the depth chart. But Gainwell is in his fourth full season and he's eligible for free agency.
