2025-01-01
Arrr, matey! The mighty Saquon Barkley, a swift-footed scallywag of the Philadelphia Eagles, be settin' sail from Sunday’s skirmish against the New York Giants! Aye, he could’ve plundered the NFL’s rushin’ record, but instead, he be takin’ a wee nap! Ye can’t win ‘em all, savvy?
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale of the Philadelphia Eagles, who be settin' sail without lettin' Saquon Barkley chase that grand NFL rushin' record. The cunning Captain Nick Sirianni declared to the crew that he’d be restin' his finest buccaneers fer the season finale against the roundly despised New York Giants — Barkley's old crew, no less! With the Eagles already secure in their playoff treasure, they be takin' no chances on injury, savvy?Now, Saquon, the fearsome yardage beast, be sittin' at 2,005 yards, but alas, he be just shy o’ Eric Dickerson’s lofty record o' 2,105. Yet, the lad, wise as he be, claims he came aboard to hoist the team’s colors high, not just to tally individual glory. “A banner up there, that be the real prize!” he declared, settin' aside the quest fer personal feats. He’s a good mate, that one!
Sirianni summoned the ship’s council — coaches, players, and even the mighty owner — to ponder this weighty decision. In the end, the crew unanimously agreed: better to rest the hallowed starters before they embark on their playoff voyage. So, the Eagles be ready to face the Giants without their fiercest warriors, whilst the Giants, now eyein' the draft booty, be in a pickle of their own. Arrr, what a tangled web we weave in the salty sea of football!
