Eric Dickerson’s record looks safe. Saquon Barkley will ‘probably’ rest — not run — Sunday

LA Times  

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley needs 101 rushing yards to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL’s single-season record, but he will likely be held out of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the New York Giants to rest up for the playoffs. Saquon Barkley probably won’t play Sunday in the Philadelphia Eagles’ regular-season finale against the New York Giants. That means former Rams running back Eric Dickerson’s single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards is most likely safe for at least another year. He added of his discussion with Sirianni: “I let him know, you want me to play I’m gonna go out there and make sure I get, and if you don’t I’m OK with that, too.” Dickerson set his record during the 1984 season, back when the NFL season was only 16 games compared to 17 today.
