Breaking the Chiefs single-season rushing record is very, very difficult

Larry Johnson can breathe easy.

The Kansas City Chiefs single season rushing record currently belongs to Johnson, just as it has for the last 12 years. In 2006, Johnson eclipsed his own personal record set the previous season with an incredible 1,789 rushing yards on the year. It bested his previous mark by 49 yards and together they are the only seasons in franchise history where a running back has gained over 1,700 yards rushing.

The Chiefs have enjoyed a nice decades-long run of incredible running backs in recent years, and they now boast one of the NFL’s best and brightest in sophomore back Kareem Hunt.
