Saquon Barkley - NFL Rushing Record or Rest for Playoffs?

What do you think? NFL Rushing Record or rest for the Playoffs?

Playoffs for sure, who cares about an individual record.

Playoffs.  Even if he were to break the record, all the talk would not be "wow he's great", it would be "Dickerson only had 16 games, Barkley got 17". Better he work on getting the Eagles to the SuperBowl, not answering questions about being Roger Maris to Eric Dickerson's Babe Ruth.

How many yards does he need?

101 to break the record.

As an Eagles fan, I'd love to see him break the record. However, it's simply not worth the risk. They are a different team without Barkley. With him, there are 4 guys that you have to account for....5 if Goedert is able to come back, and Barkley makes their passing game more effective. Also, the Eagles had their bye week in week 5, and being able to get some guys a rest at this point in the season is more important than the rushing record.

Eh, I probably rest him then. 100 is a decent chunk.
