If you want someone or something to blame for Saquon Barkley’s failure to break Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record, look no further than the coaches and the quarterback. Eagles coaches love to have Jalen Hurts run on purpose.

Nick Sirianni says we’ll see when asked about Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles going for NFL’s single-season rushing record

Barkley became only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards last week against the Cowboys. He’s at 2,005 — exactly 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson, who set the mark of 2,105 in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni caught a lot of flack this week for choosing to keep his players healthy and benching them during the season finale against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Saquon Barkley appears set to sit out the Philadelphia Eagles final regular-season game Sunday, denying the running back his chance at breaking Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record.

Sirianni went on to say that he is balancing what the best thing is for the Eagles and what the best thing is for the player. In Barkley's case, it would not be a surprise if he is fine with sitting out, as he declined staying in the game to go for a record against the Giants earlier in the season.

Nick Sirianni isn't ready to make a decision on whether Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, and the Eagles' starters will play or sit for Week 18 against the Giants.

The running back was 101 yards away from the NFL single-season rushing record, but his head coach decided the starters needed to rest in the regular-season finale against the Giants Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
