Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's previous rushing yards record in 1984, almost a decade after the former Heisman Trophy winner set his mark. Now, 40 years after Dickerson's incredible feat, Barkley has the chance to make his own history... and hopefully the Eagles give him that chance.

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.

Saquon Barkley became the ninth player to go over 2,000 yards rushing in a season when he ran for 167 yards against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 29, 2024.
