Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will likely not play in the team’s final game of the season, meaning Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record will remain safe.

Saquon Barkley’s pursuit of the NFL single-season rushing record will end 100 yards short. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni revealed Wednesday the running back will be among the starters rested for the team’s regular-season finale against the New York Giants this Sunday.

Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's previous rushing yards record in 1984, almost a decade after the former Heisman Trophy winner set his mark. Now, 40 years after Dickerson's incredible feat, Barkley has the chance to make his own history... and hopefully the Eagles give him that chance.
