Barkley won the NFL’s rushing title with 2,005 yards in just 16 games. He became just the ninth player in league history to rush for at least 2,000 yards and fell 105 yards short of Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record (2,105).

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round of the NFL playoffs next weekend at Lincoln Financial Field.

The NFL's 2024 regular season is over, and the Philadelphia Eagles will face Green Bay in the NFC playoffs Wild Card round following the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Bears and the Cowboys' 23-19 win over the Commanders.

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.

The Eagles are resting Barkley and their starters because the team is locked into the no. 2 seed in the NFC playoff field with nothing to gain or lose as a result of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Giants. The Eagles will host the Green Bay Packers or the Washington Commanders in the NFC Wild Card round next week.

Barkley was made inactive for Sunday's game against his former team. After a conversation with Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni early this week, the Eagles decided they didn't want to risk an injury to the 2024 NFL rushing leader in a game with zero meaning for the team.
