Saquon Barkley has a chance to break the single-season rushing record in front of his arch enemy in Week 18

As we all know, Saquon Barkley is just 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record and has a real chance to do it on Sunday against the New York Giants.

While doing it against the team that decided to go with Daniel Jones over him is poetic — especially since Jones didn’t even make it the entire season in New York — there’s another motivating factor in play here.

Sunday’s contest will be broadcast on CBS, with former Giants running back and known Saquon Barkley denier Tiki Barber up in the booth.

Saquon flat-out hates Tiki Barber and it’s not a secret.

After he left New York to join Philly, Barber ranted and cried on his radio show about it, telling Saquon that he’s, ‘Dead to us.’

Of course, Saquon responded to this, telling Barber that he’s been a hater ever since Barkley got to NY and that he’s a fake nice guy.

At this point, I’m leaning towards letting Saquon go for it on Sunday. As our fearless leader Drew Smith wrote, ‘Scared money don’t make money.’ Go for the record against New York and make history right in Tiki’s face.
