Philadelphia Eagles running back and MVP candidate Saquon Barkley made history in the team’s stunning victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Barkley, 27, became just the ninth player in NFL history to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a single season. Barkley has rushed for over 100 yards in 11 of 16 games this season and is the first player since Derrick Henry in 2020 to surpass 2,000 yards.

Barkley has a chance to make more history in next week’s regular-season finale against his former team, the New York Giants. He is just 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record.

However, the question remains whether Barkley will play or not. With the win against the Cowboys, the Eagles secured the NFC East and second place in the NFL playoffs.

With the game being relatively meaningless, the Eagles could rest their starters – including Barkley – as they prepare for their push to the Super Bowl. During an exclusive interview for the Eagles Gameday Final – which aired late Sunday night on NBC10 – Mike Quick asked head coach Nick Sirianni about his approach next week.

“Not there yet,” Sirianni said. “I will get there. If everyone’s celebrating tonight, I’ll think about it sometime tonight. We’re going to make the best decision for the team, but I’m always very conscious of the guys and the records because think about this sport and this NFL that’s so great and all the great records and players that are out there, to have a chance Understand this, this is something special. So I’ll always think about it for our guys, but like I said, we want to do more.”
