If you want someone or something to blame for Saquon Barkley’s failure to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record, look no further than the coaches and the quarterback. Eagles coaches love to have Jalen Hurts run on purpose.

Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts went down with a concussion in Week 16 against the Commanders and has been in the National Football League's concussion protocol ever since. He has missed practice time as he has dealt with the concussion and it's still unclear when he will get through the protocol.

Barkley became only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards last week against the Cowboys. He’s at 2,005 — exactly 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson, who set the mark of 2,105 in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams.
