Eagles RB Saquon Barkley's historic 2024 season by the numbers

Saquon Barkley was one of the premier running backs in the NFL across his six seasons with the New York Giants (2018-23), but he has been historically great in his 2024 debut season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Highlighted by leading the league with 2,005 regular-season rushing yards, Barkley has been the driving force of a Philadelphia running game that ranked second in the league (179.3 rushing yards per game) and was strong enough to catapult the Eagles to Super Bowl LIX (Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).

Here's Barkley's monstrous 2024 season by the numbers:

5: The number of rushing touchdowns Barkley has this postseason. With three more rushing scores, he'd tie Terrell Davis for the most rushing scores in a single postseason (eight).

5.8: Barkley rushed for a career-best 5.8 yards per carry in the regular season — an Eagles record for a running back with at least 100 carries.

9: Barkley became just the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season, providing Eric Dickerson, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Lewis, Barry Sanders, Derrick Henry, Terrell Davis, Chris Johnson and O.J. Simpson with some new company.

10.4: In Barkley's first game against the Giants (Week 7), he rushed for 176 yards and one touchdown on 10.4 yards per carry, which stands as his highest mark of the season (regular season plus postseason). Barkley didn't take a handoff after the third quarter and finished 13 yards short of the rushing record for a running back in their first game against their former team; Cedric Benson rushed for 189 yards against the Chicago Bears in 2009.

14: Barkley has rushed for 100-plus yards in 14 of the 19 games that he has appeared in this season (regular season plus postseason).
