Saquon Barkley set the Philadelphia Eagles record for the most rushing yards in a postseason game as he was "chasing greatness."

"I felt like I had a good game last week (against the Green Bay Packers)," Barkley said, per ESPN's Tim McManus. "but you want to create a legacy, and I wanted to have one of those types of games. Just visualizing stuff and wondering what the number is. It's funny how that happened."

Before the game, Barkley researched the record set by Steve Van Buren in 1949, which stood at 196 rushing yards.
