Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce was definitely disappointed he didn’t get to watch Saquon Barkley attempt to break the rushing record last Sunday in the season finale since coach Nick Sirianni\u00a0rested the running back<\/a>\u00a0ahead of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Kelce went on a rant about this on his podcast\u00a0New Heights<\/em><\/a>, with his brother Travis Kelce. He understood why Sirianni needed to bench Barkley, but he thinks it would’ve been amazing to watch Barkley break the record. Watch his not-safe-for-work rant below.<\/p>\n

“Did I want Barkley to go for the record? You’re God damn right,” Kelce said. “Because it’s a f—— rushing record! Why would I not want to watch that happen? But, I think that it’s the right move to not play him. … I do think the rushing title is the coolest record in football. This could’ve been an all-time storyline, historic moment in the NFL.<\/p>\n

“Unless you get the record, it’s just another great year. You get the record, you’re the best, you’re the baddest dude on the planet ever to play the game.”<\/p>\n
