Saquon Barkley on Pace to Break NFL Rushing Record
As of December 2024, the NFL rushing record for the most rushing yards in a single season is held by Eric Dickerson, who achieved 2,105 yards in 1984. Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles is currently on pace to challenge this record. He has accumulated 1,499 rushing yards through 12 games in the 2024 season, averaging 124.9 yards per game. If he maintains this pace, he is projected to finish the season with 2,151 rushing yards, which would surpass Dickerson's record.
