Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is 312 yards away from becoming the ninth running back in NFL history to rush for at least 2,000 yards in a single season. Through the first 14 games of the season, Barkley has carried the football 285 times for 1,688 yards, leading the NFL in rushing by over 200 yards.
Barkley needs to average 104 rushing yards over the final three games of the season to hit 2,000 yards on the season. However, if Barkley takes all three games to hit 2,000 yards, he would be the first player to hit that milestone over a 17-game season. All eight prior 2,000-yard rushers achieved the feat in 14 or 16 games, before the NFL schedule expanded to 17 games in 2021.
