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.
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.
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.
Saquon Barkley was rested in the final week of the regular NFL season by his coach Nick Sirianni, and Terry Bradshaw criticised the decision.
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.
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,
Every Eagles player on the 53-man roster is eligible to play Sunday, according to the Eagles' final injury report of the week. That includes TE Dallas Goedert, who missed practice Thursday and was limited Friday, due to illness. WR A.J. Brown (knee/rest) was a full participant Friday after not practicing Wednesday and being limited Thursday.
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.
"We've done it before, so it's not too far," Brown said of the Eagles' passing game. "It's not like it's never been done. We just gotta do what we gotta do."
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's now known that Hurts and Sirianni spent parts of that break together working on fixes for the Eagles. McManus shared that "the two had myriad conversations over that period, hammering out a direction for the offense and team that helped fuel the Eagles' surge, turning a 2-2 start into a 14-3 finish."
“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.”
