Tonya Johnson talked about her son's backward leap and his halted pursuit of the NFL's single-season rushing record.

The Philadelphia Eagles coasted to a 20-13 victory in Week 18 over the New York Giants, even though they chose to rest most of their starters. That was a somewhat controversial decision due to Saquon Barkley's pursuit of the single-season rushing record, and Jason Kelce was not happy with the decision that the Eagles made.

Saquon Barkley is not playing against the Giants, and his season ends with 2,005 rushing yards, 100 shy of Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season record.

Saquon Barkley appears set to sit out the Philadelphia Eagles final regular-season game Sunday, denying the running back his chance at breaking Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record.

Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson raised eyebrows and attracted some criticism when he admitted in December he didn't want Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles to break the single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards that Dickerson set in 1984.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley received a call Sunday from Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson after Barkley came close to breaking his record.

Saquon Barkley finished with 2,005 rushing yards this season, 101 short of setting a new single-season record despite sitting out Week 18.

Saquon Barkley did not play on Sunday despite being 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. Records are great, but risking an injury right before the playoffs in a meaningless game isn't a smart thing to do.
