Saquon Barkley could join an exclusive club of running backs with 2,000+ yards in a season. The Eagles' decision on whether to rest him for playoff positioning will be a key factor.
It could happen on Sunday. There are eight running backs who have rushed for 2,000-plus yards in a single season. Saquon Barkley will become the ninth member of the exclusive club should he rumble through and around the Cowboys for 162 yards. Records are made to be broken, and Eric Dickerson’s 1984 single-season rushing record (2,105 yards) is tantalizingly in sight, though Barkley will need to be touched by the hand of God to break that one.
The intrigue: would the Eagles allow him to break Dickerson’s record in the regular-season finale if he is close with the playoffs taking precedence? Or will they decide to sit him and dare the Giants to win a game they will need to lose to draft Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward? But first things first: let’s get ready to welcome him into Club 2,000 and let’s celebrate it even if he would be the first to need 17 games to enter
