Saquon Barkley is closing in on the record for the most rushing yards in a single season, but the Philadelphia Eagles running back has other things on his mind at this point in the season.

"I'm not overtly trying to get it. I'm not scared of it," he said after the Eagles' win over the Cowboys on Sunday, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. "But we've got bigger things we're focused on. Whether we play next week or rest, I'm fine with that. I didn't sign here just to break a record. I want to do something special with the team.
