PHILADELPHIA>> Nick Sirianni wore the hat given to NFC East champions as he sat at the podium and considered all the greatness that his Eagles still could accomplish this season.
Personal goals, sure. Saquon Barkley has Eric Dickerson’s NFL rushing record in sight. Team goals, absolutely. “It’s cool, I’m not going to downplay it,” Barkley said of the division crown. “At the end of the day, you’re not getting remembered for being a 2024 NFC East division champ.”
Barkley rushed for 167 yards to top 2,000 on the season, backup quarterback Kenny Pickett ran and threw for scores before departing with injured ribs, and the Eagles clinched the division title by routing Dallas 41-7 on Sunday.
Barkley has 2,005 yards and needs 101 in next week’s regular-season finale to top Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.
The Eagles (13-3) led 24-7 when Pickett was drilled by defensive end Micah Parsons, ending his first start in place of the concussed Jalen Hurts. Third-stringer Tanner McKee finished the game.
