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.

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.

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.

Despite their tremendous 2024 season, the Philadelphia Eagles have a weakness that could be the reason they are watch Super Bowl 59 from hom

Nick Sirianni and Tanner McKee celebrated this Eagles player for stepping up in Week 18. After being a largely forgotten part of the Philadelphia Eagles' offense for the vast majority of the 2024 NFL season, few fans expected Jahan Dotson to do much of anything in Week 18 against the New York Giants.

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.

Asked how the Eagles became so Barkley-focused over the course of the 2024 NFL season, with the PSU-produced back having his best-ever season in South Philadelphia, Moore noted that the Eagles found a formula that worked and have built their identity around it.

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

With the game in hand and just over a minute on the clock, quarterback Jalen Hurts handed the ball to Barkley—who had a clear shot to score a touchdown from nearly 80 yards out. Knowing that they could kneel it out and secure the win, the running back decided to slide instead of hauling it to the end zone.

“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.”
