Saquon Barkley is already in the record books thanks to his illustrious debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming just the ninth player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards in a season this year.

Barkley had a good chance at an iconic NFL record in the Eagles' season finale. He was exactly 100 yards behind Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984. Barkley admitted he wanted a shot at it, but he went along with head coach Nick Sirianni's decision to rest all starters in Week 18.

Philadelphia Eagles superstar running back Saquon Barkley and his family celebrate their NFC Championship win over the Washington Commanders.

The last running back to win Super Bowl MVP was Terrell Davis in 1998. Oddsmakers expect that drought to end in 2025 if the Philadelphia Eagles are somehow able to topple the Kansas City Chiefs in their bid for a three-peat.

Former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is having a career year in his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming just the ninth player in NFL history to amass 2,000 rushing yards in a season.

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.

In addition to playing in his first Super Bowl, he has the opportunity to break the all-time record for the most rushing yards combined in the regular season and the postseason.

Saquon Barkley's first conversations with Eagles brass and his family were about playing games like the one on Sunday, where trophies are won and the Lombardi is in reach.

In the Atlanta Falcons shootout, in which Brady led a 28-3, second-half comeback, the Patriots set several records including James White with the most receptions (14) in the Super Bowl. He also set the record for most points scored (20) in that same game.

PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles were indeed flying high as the best in the NFL, boasting a 10-1 record with a No. 1 seed, home-field advantage in the playoffs, and yes, a Super Bowl ring all ahead as credible goals. This season? On the way to the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 in a rematch from two years ago against Kansas City?

The difference in the outcome this year just might be Philadelphia’s addition of 2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley. Barkley has turned the Eagles’ run game from a concern for the opposition through the last decade to a downright fear. Fear that Barkley can score from anywhere. Fear that Barkley can shift momentum at any time.
