NEW ORLEANS -- Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley eclipsed Terrell Davis for most rushing yards in a single season, including playoffs, late in the second quarter of Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Barkley entered the game needing 30 yards to break the record. He topped Davis' mark of 2,476 with a modest 2-yard carry that ran out the clock in the first half with the Eagles holding a commanding 24-0 lead.
He had a chance to take down Eric Dickerson's regular-season rushing title as well, but the team decided to rest its starters in the finale against Barkley's former team, the New York Giants, leaving him 101 yards shy of Dickerson's mark of 2,105 yards.
