Saquon Barkley had an opportunity to set the single-season rushing record, needing just 101 yards to pass Eric Dickerson in the season's final game. Barkley stayed at 2,005 rushing yards, as the Philadelphia Eagles had nothing to play for in the final week of the regular season -- having the NFC East title and No.

Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson raised eyebrows and attracted some criticism when he admitted in December he didn't want Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles to break the single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards that Dickerson set in 1984.

Barkley didn't get another chance at topping 2,105 rushing yards, but he did match Dickerson's historic 1984 season in another area.
