The quarterback runs too much, which takes away carries from the backs and puts him at risk — the key factors in Barkley's failed pursuit.

Barkley became only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards last week against the Cowboys. He’s at 2,005 — exactly 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson, who set the mark of 2,105 in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Saquon Barkley will “probably be somebody who rests” instead of trying for the NFL rushing record on Sunday vs. the Giants.
