Saquon Barkley entered Week 18 just 101 yards shy of etching his name in the NFL's history books. As the eyes of the world fixated on the fact that he was on the cusp of history, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni delivered a major update, telling reporters that Barkley will not play in Week 18, ending his chase for the NFL's highest single-season rushing yards total.
However, franchise legend LeSean McCoy believes the team made the wrong call. On the Wednesday night edition of FS1's The Facility, McCoy laid out a few reasons why he believes the Eagles are committing a mistake:
“It’s a mistake if you don’t let him chase the record.
“If we’re playing the Giants and you tried to get rid of my man, you tried to devalue him as a running back? Now he can set the record on you? Everything’s playing out perfectly. Play that game, man. This is bigger than just Saquon Barkley."
