Philadelphia Eagles Running Back Saquon Barkley is on the precipice of history in the final two weeks of the NFL regular season. He is 162 yards away from being the ninth RB to go over 2,000 rushing yards and 268 yards away from breaking Running Back Eric Dickerson’s all-time-rushing record. If Barkley surpasses 2,000 rushing yards, he joins a list consisting of Dickerson, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Lewis, Barry Sanders, Derrick Henry, Terrell Davis, Chris Johnson, and O.J. Simpson.
Barkley has had a career season in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is second in the league in carries, leading the league in rushing yards, and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns. Will the MVP-caliber running back be able to make NFL history as the Philadelphia Eagles look to improve their playoff position?
Philadelphia Eagles Season History

Philadelphia(12-3) has had a strong regular season. They currently occupy the No. 2 seed in the NFC Playoffs. The Eagles have featured one of the league’s best offenses this season. They are sixth in the league in yards per game and eighth in points per game. The dynamic duo of Barkley and Quarterback Jalen Hurts has created the NFL’s best rushing offense this season.
Philadelphia’s defense has also been strong this season. They are surrendering the fewest yards per game and the fourth-fewest points per game. Their defense is looking to rebound after a rough showing last week on the road against the Washington Commanders. Their defense surrendered 36 points last week in the shootout loss.
Final Thoughts
The Philadelphia Eagles will look to win later today at home against the Dallas Cowboys. They will have to do so without the services of Hurts who suffered a concussion in last week’s game. Kenny Pickett will be under center as Philadelphia looks to keep pace in the NFC.
