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.

The Eagles clinched the division and the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a dominant 41-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys. As they head into their season finale against the New York Giants, there’s one question lingering over the team: Will Saquon Barkley play on Sunday?

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.
