NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson can breathe easy knowing his single-season rushing record will remain intact for at least another year. The Philadelphia Eagles have announced they'll rest star running back Saquon Barkley in their regular-season finale against the New York Giants, leaving him just short of Dickerson's historic mark.

Former NFL coach Herm Edwards isn’t a fan of the sport’s risk-averse/player safety practice that occurs at the end of the regular season for playoff teams. For Edwards, now an ESPN NFL analyst, “football players play football,” not sit and watch when they’re healthy.

Eagles’ Saquon Barkley would love to break the single-season rushing record against the New York Giants but has bigger long-term plans.
