Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season NFL rushing record. It looks like he's going to stay there, even with one game remaining in 2024's regular season. Barkley won't play in Week 18's finale against the New York Giants,

Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's previous rushing yards record in 1984, almost a decade after the former Heisman Trophy winner set his mark. Now, 40 years after Dickerson's incredible feat, Barkley has the chance to make his own history... and hopefully the Eagles give him that chance.

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.
