Eagles Superstar Saquon Barkley can still make NFL history

The Philadelphia Eagles have three games left, and there’s still a chance the superstar running back can make National Football League history.

One thing that has been fun about this Eagles team, especially through the second half of the season so far, is the fact that Barkley has been chasing history. It just adds one more little thing to keep an eye on each week on top of the typical wins and losses.

Barkley had a quiet game in Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it didn’t help that he missed some time during the game after being in the medical tent. Even so, Barkley still has a shot at history.

As things stand right now, Barkley has 1,688 rushing yards and 1,964 rushing yards. At this point, he is 417 rushing yards away from Eric Dickerson’s 2,105 single season rushing record and 545 scrimmage yards away from Chris Johnson’s 2,509 yard single-season scrimmage yard record.

Barkley is currently averaging 120.57 rushing yards per game. game and 140.28 scrimmage yards per match. This would put him on pace for 2,049.69 rushing yards and 2,384.76 scrimmage yards. Getting 120 rushing yards and 140 total scrimmage yards in a game is no joke. It’s hard enough, but Barkley has games where he’s significantly exceeded those numbers.

Barkley had 302 yards from scrimmage on November 24th, 198 scrimmage yards on November 14th and 199 scrimmage yards on November 3rd. If he could have a game similar to those three over the next three weeks, it would give him a chance.

It won’t be easy, but he really can’t be ruled out for either record, although the rushing record seems more likely.
