Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson responded to criticism from a former star on Friday. Dickerson responded to LeSean McCoy, who has been critical of Dickerson for not supporting Saquon Barkley’s bid for the single-season rushing record.

Saquon Barkley is on the cusp of NFL history. If the Philadelphia Eagles running back can get just 268 yards over the final two weeks of the season, he'll break Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record,

Saquon Barkley is down to his final game to try to break Eric Dickerson’s season rushing record. The NFL rushing leader with 2,005 yards, Barkley is only 101 yards away from topping Dickerson’s

Heading into Week 18, no one will be watching Saquon Barkley and the Philadephia Eagles' showdown against the New York Giants closer than Eric Dickerson. That's right, while Dickerson hasn't taken the field for an NFL game since all the way back in 1993 – which was before Barkley was even born – the Los Angeles Rams legend has maintained the all-time leading single-season rusher since all the way back in 1984 in his second season with the team.

Dickerson raised eyebrows when he recently admitted he does not want Barkley to break the single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards that Dickerson set during the 1984 campaign.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is nipping at the heels of the all-time single-season rushing record — Dickerson’s 2,105 yards, secured with the Los Angeles Rams in 1984 — but the record-holder doesn’t think Barkley’s going to finish the job.

Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley is approaching a record held by Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson. Barkley needs just 268 yards over the next two games to break a record held by Dickerson since 1984. Barkley is approaching 2,000 rushing yards on the season, which only two other players have accomplished since 2010.

Some former NFL players are happy to see their records get broken by players from the new generation. Eric Dickerson is not of the same mindset.

Head coach Nick Sirianni announced on Wednesday that Philadelphia will rest key starters, including Saquon Barkley, in Week 18 against the New York Giants. The regular-season finale won't have an impact on the Eagles' playoff position, as the NFC East champs are already locked into the No. 2 seed.

The Los Angeles Rams will host the Seattle Seahawks for their Week 18 ‘Inspire Change’ matchup, presented by QuidelOrtho, on Sunday, January 5 at 1:25 p.m. PT. The game will be broadcast on FOX and on local radio on 93.
