Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says he plans to meet with staff and players about Saquon Barkley's record challenge.

The Philadelphia Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed, so Sunday afternoon's game against the New York Giants is literally meaningless from the team's perspective.

But from a personal perspective, Saquon Barkley has a chance to rewrite history.

Barkley rushed for 167 yards last weekend, leaving him 101 yards away from passing Eric Dickerson as the NFL's single-season rushing champion.

Barkley had another dominant performance, becoming the ninth player to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. What's even more impressive is that he did it in 16 games.

“What's best for the team, and also what's best for the individual aiming for the record?”

In 2021, Sirianni earned it by resting most of his starters, with the exception of DeVonta Smith, who was chasing a rookie receiving yards record.

Even more ironically, breaking Barkley's record with a team that chose not to re-sign Barkley after six seasons with the G-Men (the team lost No. 1 while going 3-13) It's obviously a sweet feeling for him. 1 selections for this weekend.
