Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles running back, faced a setback in his pursuit of the NFL rushing record due to an undisclosed injury. Despite rushing for over 100 yards in his previous four games, he managed only 65 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Barkley remains the rushing leader with 1,688 yards but now needs 418 yards in the final three games to surpass Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards. He was injured during the game but downplayed the severity of the issue.
