PHILADELPHIA — Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a setback in his chase of the NFL season rushing record when he appeared slowed by an undisclosed injury. After topping 100 yards rushing in each of his last four games, Barkley ran for 65 yards on 19 carries in Philadelphia's 27-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Barkley leads the NFL with 1,688 yards but he must average just over 139 yards over Philadelphia's final three games to break Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. Barkley declined to say what was bothering him, calling it "nothing crazy" and "little minor."
