PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley appears set to sit out the Philadelphia Eagles final regular-season game Sunday, denying the running back his chance at breaking Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record.

Some former NFL players are happy to see their records get broken by players from the new generation. Eric Dickerson is not of the same mindset.

Heading into Week 18, no one will be watching Saquon Barkley and the Philadephia Eagles' showdown against the New York Giants closer than Eric Dickerson. That's right, while Dickerson hasn't taken the field for an NFL game since all the way back in 1993 – which was before Barkley was even born – the Los Angeles Rams legend has maintained the all-time leading single-season rusher since all the way back in 1984 in his second season with the team.
