The NFC East has a new winner for a record 20th straight year after the Eagles dished out a 41-7 hammering to the Cowboys on the back of 167 rushing yards from Saquon Barkley.
The 27-year-old is just the ninth player ever to break the 2,000-yard mark in a season. He has Eric Dickerson’s coveted record of 2,105, set in 1984, in his sights but may not have the chance to break it.
As the Eagles have nothing to play for next week, head coach Nick Sirianni would rest his star players for the play-offs in normal circumstances.
“I always have to do what’s right for the football team to reach our goals of what we need to do,” Sirianni said. “I’ve got a lot to think about.”
Barkley would need 101 yards next week to grab one of the biggest records in the NFL, albeit playing a game more than Dickerson, and that game just happens to be against the New York Giants – who controversially let him leave in the summer.
