The two best rushing seasons in NFL history belong to Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis. Including the postseason, Davis rushed for 2,331 yards in 1997, setting a single-season NFL record on his way to a Super Bowl win.
Barkley wasn't given the chance to top Dickerson's single-season rushing record. But there are two long-standing playoff rushing records Barkley could break Sunday against the Commanders.
Terrell Davis owns the records for the most yards in a single season including the playoffs. Saquon Barkley could pass him.
The Washington Commanders have been gashed by the run game in 2024, allowing 138.9 rush yards per game. Saquon Barkley averaged 129.3 rushing yards in 18 games, including playoffs.
Entering Sunday's NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders, Barkley has 2,329 rushing yards, which is 2 yards behind Davis' 1997 season. He's 147 yards behind Davis' 1998 season.

Washington has two of the NFL’s top three tacklers in the playoffs in Jeremy Chinn (19 total tackles) and Bobby Wagner, a tandem abundantly aware of their mission Sunday. Wagner, who has 16 postseason tackles, didn’t practice Wednesday and Thursday. He plans to play through an ankle injury sustained late in the wild-card win at Tampa Bay.
With everything on the line, the ticket prices for Sunday's contest are skyrocketing. Reports indicate that the average ticket cost is $1,310 while the cheapest ticket available is $620, according to Tick Pick. It's officially the most expensive NFC conference championship in league history.
Saquon Barkley didn't get an opportunity to break Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, but he's inching closer to a different historical mark.
East division rivals meet in Philadelphia on Sunday to decide the NFC in the third meeting between the teams since the Eagles posted a 26-18 win on Nov. 14 with a 20-point fourth quarter. The Commanders have two road playoff wins in the same postseason for the first time in history, including a 45-31 dismantling of the Lions at Detroit last week.

Eagles 7, Commanders 3, and the Eagles never trailed again in their 55-23 NFC championship victory. It was the first of three touchdowns for Barkley, and his record-setting season will have one more stop: New Orleans.
