Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson won't support Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley as he tries to break rushing record.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley needs 268 yards to break Eric Dickerson's rushing record. The latter doesn't want it to happen.

Saquon Barkley is 268 yards away from becoming the NFL's single-season rushing record holder, but Eric Dickerson is rooting for Barkley to come up short.

Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion. The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games.

The Eagles (12-3) had an opportunity to clinch the NFC East last week, but a game-winning touchdown by the Washington Commanders with 6 seconds remaining ended those hopes. The Birds can still clinch the division with a win on Sunday as they host the Dallas Cowboys (7-8) in a Week 17 matchup at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Washington Commanders in week 16 of the NFL season at Northwest Stadium on Sunday, December 22nd. WATCH: Eagles vs Commanders Live | Stream free on Fubo The Eagles can take control of the first seed in the NFC if they win out and the Lions drop one more game.
