The Philadelphia Eagles are locked in the No. 2 seed, so, from a team standpoint, Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants is quite literally meaningless.

However, from a personal standpoint, Saquon Barkley has a chance to rewrite the history books.

Barkley is 101 yards away from surpassing Eric Dickerson as the NFL’s single-season rushing king after running for 167 yards this past weekend.

With another dominant performance, Barkley became the ninth player to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season – even more impressively is that he did it in 16 games.

The record, of course, would come in a Week 17 game, so arguments can be had about its legitimacy.

However, it is without a doubt on the minds of the Eagles and head coach Nick Sirianni, who have a decision to make: personal goals or what benefits the team.

Well, Sirianni said on Tuesday that he would discuss the decision with just about everyone in the building.

“I’ll talk to our staff, I’ll talk to the players, I’ll talk to [general manager] Howie [Roseman], I’ll talk to Mr. Lurie. I’ll talk to everybody to try and make sure I’m making the best decision for the football team,” Sirianni said to 94WIP radio in Philly on Tuesday during his weekly interview with 94WIP radio in Philadelphia.

“What’s the best thing for the team, and then also, what’s the best things for the individuals going for the record?”

In 2021, Sirianni rested most of his starters except DeVonta Smith, who was going for the rookie receiving yards record, which he got.

“Every situation is a little different. Not saying one way or the other or how that’s going to play out or even that I made a decision yet.”

In an added sense of irony, it would obviously be a sweet feeling for Barkley to break the record against the team who opted not to re-sign him after six seasons in the G-Men, who are 3-13 but lost themselves the No. 1 pick this weekend.

Over the weekend, Cam Ward broke the FBS record for career touchdown passes and then did not play in the second half.

Barkley said on Sunday that he will be fine with whatever the decision is.

“I came here to do something special. Breaking a record is special,” Barkley said, “but I want a banner up there. I think we all do.”

Barkley has 2,005 rushing yards on the season, averaging 125.3 yards per game. He has run for at least 100 yards in 11 games this season.

A man is in critical condition after he was shoved onto New York City subway tracks on New Year’s Eve, adding to a recent spate of violent incidents in the nation’s busiest subway system. 

The NYPD received a 911 call claiming there was an assault in progress at a New York City subway station on Tuesday afternoon. 

Officers responded and found that a 45-year-old man had been struck by a southbound train after reportedly being shoved onto the subway tracks, according to authorities.

The ordeal was captured on video and shows a hooded male on the edge of the platform and a victim looking at his phone as the train pulls into the station.

Kamel Hawkins, 23, has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly pushing the stranger, police said.

The 45-year-old victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Tuesday’s violence comes less than two weeks after a woman — identified as 57-year-old Debrina Kawam — was set ablaze while asleep on a train in Brooklyn on Dec. 22. She died, and a man has been charged with murder and arson in her death.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

An Alabama mother has been arrested after allegedly notifying investigators that her missing one-year-old toddler had died, and his body was kept in a storage shed, according to a criminal complaint.

The discovery was made shortly after Wendy Pamela Bailey, 22, was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of Steven Bradley Collins, 40, and Ryleigh Collins, 2. 

A third child, Kahleb Rowan Collins, 1, was unaccounted for.

Following an investigation into the whereabouts of Kahleb, the 24th Circuit District Attorney’s Office along with the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation believe that he is deceased. 

The result of the investigation led them to believe Kahleb was not only deceased but that he had been for some time.

Investigators alleged evidence shows that the father, Steven Collins, had abused the boy and that the mother failed to intervene or report the abuse, according to court documents.

Officials also say that he sent messages saying, “He want move” and “I’m so sorry” and finally “He moving.” and that Bailey replied, “He just looks wore out and tired and hopefully that’s all.”

“His body has not been recovered, although law enforcement teams are still actively gathering information and searching for his remains,” officials said.

A routine traffic stop took an unusual turn when a California Highway Patrol official stopped a Rolls-Royce in Madera County on Monday.

Officials pulled the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost over for excessive speeding on Highway 99 but were surprised when they found a Spider Monkey in the car.

CHP noted that finding the exotic animal in an exotic car made it especially bizarre “a traffic stop with a twist.”

The monkey is believed to be one month old and, in California, primates are illegal to own as pets.

The driver, identified as Ali Mused Adel Mohamed, 27, was also found to be under the influence and placed under arrest for DUI and in possession of cannabis for sale, police officials said.

In its first College Football Playoff, Penn State is now one win away from going to the big dance.

The third-seeded Nittany Lions shut down No. 6 Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, 31-14, on New Year’s Eve to advance to the semifinals.

The Nittany Lions got off to a red-hot start, blocking a Boise State field goal and turning it into a touchdown. Then, after forcing a three-and-out, Drew Allar found Omari Evans on a long touchdown to make it 14-0. The Broncos would add a touchdown before the half, and both offenses stalled for a while. Penn State added a field goal just before the half ended, but on their first drive of the second half, Boise State found the end zone again with a 53-yard catch and run by Matt Lauter.

Penn State clicked again, though, as they went on an 11-play drive and going 75 yards, with Allar finding Tyler Warren for the tight end’s second touchdown and regaining a 10-point lead. Maddux Madsen then threw a pick, and then, despite forcing a three-and-out, Boise State missed another field goal.

The Lions took advantage, and seven plays later, they led 31-14 with 4:54 to go after Nicholas Singleton scampered for a 58-yard touchdown. In the effort of a miracle, Madsen threw another interception, all but icing the ball game.

The Nittany Lions offense contained Ashton Jeanty all night – sure, 108 yards is very good, but that was the Heisman Trophy runner-up’s lowest rushing total of the season all while fumbling twice and losing one of them. Thus, his chase for Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record fell short by just 24 yards. Entering Tuesday, Jeanty had rushed for at least 127 yards in every game this year. 

Jeanty’s 2,605 yards on the season, though, are now the second-most in a single season, as he surpassed Melvin Gordon and Kevin Smith, who now rank third and fourth, respectively.

Allar finished with 171 passing yards and his three touchdowns, while Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton combined for 221 yards on 29 carries.

Penn State will now face the winner of No. 2 Georgia and No. 7 Notre Dame at the Orange Bowl on Jan. 9 for a chance at a trip to the national championship. Those two will play in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.

In five playoff games thus far, the higher seed has won by double digits each time.

Ex-CNN host Don Lemon stands by calling Trump supporters “dumb f—ing idiots,” telling “butthurt” critics “too f—ing bad.”

At the start of his YouTube show Tuesday night, Lemon addressed the backlash he received after calling MAGA supporters “stupid and dumb” in an expletive-filled rant days earlier.

Though he insisted that he was reacting to people who had a “racist” response to President-elect Donald Trump appointing Sriram Krishnan as a senior advisor on artificial intelligence, he went on to further attack Trump supporters.

DON LEMON SPARS WITH TIKTOKER OVER ‘PRESIDENT MUSK’ ACCUSATION: ‘WE DON’T TRUST YOU’

“So, as always, everybody gets all butthurt! I’m not referring to all Trump supporters,” Lemon said. “I’m talking to the MAGA-brained people who will say and do anything to make excuses for any behavior that Donald Trump does, any bad behavior that the MAGA movement does.”

He continued, “So yes, I stand by my words! And if you don’t like what I said, then too f-ing bad, I don’t care!”

Lemon also called out the “hypocrisy” of Trump supporters attacking him for his language while defending their “cult leader.”

“This is how messed up you are. You have a higher expectation of me, an independent journalist, a former cable news host, than you do for the person who sits in the Oval Office. Because his mouth is worse than mine,” Lemon said.

He added, “He calls everybody dumb. He calls Black women dumb. He’s called me dumb. He calls people stupid. He’s called Kamala Harris stupid. He’s called her names. And he’s used profanity against athletes. He called them sons of b—hes. He calls people out on their names all the time. And you love it. But when someone says the truth about you, you get all butthurt! And you get all in your feelings!”

In his original video, Lemon called supporters of President-elect Donald Trump “dumb f—ing idiots” and mocked their “stupid MAGA brain.”

Team USA and gymnast Jordan Chiles didn’t let the withdrawal of her Olympic bronze medal stop them from showing off her team gold on Tuesday. 

In a New Year’s Eve post to celebrate the medals that the US claimed at the Paris Olympics this year, the team included a photo of Chiles holding the gold medal that she and her American teammates won in the women’s team event. Chiles was the only gymnast included in the collage.

Chiles re-posted the photo on her personal Instagram story later on Tuesday.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

The 23-year-old gymnast is currently involved in an appeal against a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision that dropped her from third place in the event to fifth in the women’s floor exercise final. 

Romania’s Ana Barbosu initially earned a higher score than Chiles after the American finished her routine. Then, after a US coach’s request, judges reviewed the footage, changed the score and bumped Chiles up to third place, sparking the initial controversy and fierce backlash from Romanians. 

The decision to give the medal to Chiles instead resulted in the first All-Black podium in the history of Olympic gymnastics, as she joined teammate Simone Biles and Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade. 

But then, on the last day of the Olympics, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that the Chiles appeal was submitted past the one-minute deadline, and changed her score to drop her back into fifth place. The next day, on Aug. 11, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) determined that Chiles must return the medal.

However, after the end of the Olympics in August, USA Today reported that Chiles and the rest of the U.S. Olympic team had “no intention” of returning the medal, as they continue to appeal the IOC’s decision. 

Chiles’ lawyers have argued that her coach did in fact make the request in time and that there is video evidence to prove it, and has also indicated that the official who made the decision to strip Chiles’ medal had ties to Romania. 

“Chiles asks the Supreme Court to find that the CAS decision was procedurally deficient for two reasons,” Chiles’ lawyers said in a statement, according to Olympics.com.

“First, CAS violated Chiles’ fundamental ‘right to be heard’ by refusing to consider the video evidence that showed her inquiry was submitted on time – in direct contradiction to the findings in CAS’ decision.

“Second, the entire CAS proceeding was unfair because Chiles was not properly informed that Hamid G. Gharavi, the President of the CAS panel that revoked Chiles’s bronze medal and awarded it instead to a Romanian gymnast, had a serious conflict of interest: Mr. Gharavi has acted as counsel for Romania for almost a decade and was actively representing Romania at the time of the CAS arbitration.”

Chiles has also filed an appeal in the Swiss Federal Supreme Court to overturn the CAS decision. She argued that she was not given a fair opportunity to defend herself and that the CAS did not properly consider video evidence.

Chiles and her teammates have been outspoken about the emotional toll that losing the medal has had on her in the months following the end of the Olympics. 

Chiles gave her first sit-down interview about the incident this week during a panel at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit 2024 in September. The gymnast choked up and teared up when she was asked about the topic. 

“To me, everything that has gone on is not about the medal, it’s about, you know, my skin color,” Chiles said. 

Chiles previously claimed she was facing “racially driven attacks” from social media users in a statement posted to X on Aug. 15. When Chiles won the bronze medal, it resulted in the first gymnastics podium in Olympic history that featured three black contestants.

“It’s about the fact that there were things that have led up to this position of being an athlete and I felt like everything has been stripped.” 

The controversy has brought international scrutiny upon the judges who scored the event. The Center of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) released a joint statement on Aug. 15 condemning the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the judging crew for the outcome. 

“If the FIG had put such a mechanism or arrangement in place, a great deal of heartache would have been avoided,” the CAS’ ad-hoc panel said in a release. “The Panel expresses the hope that the FIG will draw the consequences of this case, in relation to these three extraordinary Athletes and also for other Athletes and their supporting personnel, in the future, so that this never happens again.”

Travis Kelce has not put up his typical numbers in the 2024 football season, but apparently it doesn’t matter much to his fans.

Despite the – by his standards – subpar season, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end managed to garner the most votes by fans for the 2025 Pro Bowl.

He racked up 252,200 votes from fans, and it’s fair to say that his relationship with Taylor Swift likely boosted that number.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

Kelce and Swift began dating in September last year, significantly increasing his already sky-high popularity, but outside of football circles.

After winning Super Bowl LVII, Kelce was tabbed to host Saturday Night Live, and he had already dipped his toes in reality television, but dating Swift took his name to a whole new level.

This year would be Kelce’s 10th Pro Bowl selection. He has 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns this season.

However, this will in all likelihood be the first time since 2015 that Kelce will play at least 16 games and fail to get 1,000 yards. Kelce played in 15 last year, missing his first game due to injury since his rookie season, and garnered 984.

Jahmyr Gibbs had just under 2,000 fewer votes than Kelce as the second-highest vote getter.

Kelce isn’t the only member of the Chiefs to slow down on offense. In fact, it’s been a team-wide epidemic. However, an elite defense and balls bouncing the right way, sometimes quite literally, have propelled them to a 15-1 season so far and the No. 1 seed in the AFC after back-to-back Super Bowl championships.

Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow and Jared Goff rounded out the top five.

This is the third year of the Pro Bowl Games after the NFL eliminated its full-contact all-star contest and replaced it with a week of skills competitions and a flag football game.

The games take place in Central Florida and finish with a 7-on-7 flag football game between the AFC and NFC at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Feb. 2.
