Chiefs vs. Eagles Rematch: Which Team Will Rewrite Super Bowl History This Time?
His 2,005 rushing yards were the eighth-most in a single season. But he was within reach of Eric Dickerson’s record before Eagles coach Nick Sirianni opted to sit Barkley in a meaningless finale to preserve him for the NFL playoffs.
That decision looks quite good.
After averaging 125.3 rushing yards per game in the regular season, Barkley has been even better in the playoffs, averaging an absurd 147.3 in three wins. In the Super Bowl era, only four players have averaged more rushing yards in a single postseason (minimum two games), with Terrell Davis having the high of 156.0 for the Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos in the 1998 season.
