Chiefs vs. Eagles Rematch: Which Team Will Rewrite Super Bowl History This Time?
Barkley would need an extraordinary performance to surpass Davis’ average – 183 rushing yards, a total reached by only two players in a Super Bowl – Washington’s Timmy Smith rushed for 204 yards to cap the 1987 season and Oakland’s Marcus Allen had 191 rushing yards in the 1983 season Super Bowl.
Barkley, however, can break a different record held by Davis with relative ease. With 30 yards, Barkley would establish a record for rushing yards in a single season, including the playoffs.
Barkley is plenty capable of breaking Davis’ mark on a single play – maybe even his first touch, like he did in the NFC championship game with a 60-yard touchdown run on Philadelphia’s first play from scrimmage. It set the tone for the Eagles’ emphatic, 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders.
