Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from breaking a 40-year-old single-season rushing record held by Eric Dickerson. There are pros and cons to the decision not to let Saquon play and try to break the record. Plus Eagles Starting Quarterback Jalen Hurts is still in the NFL concussion protocol and probably won’t play on Sunday. We will debate the issue this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim.

We will look at how each team is trying to get back to their winning ways.
