Saquon Barkley is chasing NFL's single-season rushing record. Can he do it?

Philadelphia Eagles fans serenaded Saquon Barkley with chants of "MVP!" after a nine-yard run gave him the team’s season rushing record.

Barkley set the record in style — passing Eagles Hall of Famers Wilbert Montgomery and record-holder LeSean McCoy in a single game — as he rushed for 124 yards to push his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina.

The total was enough for Barkley to top McCoy’s 1,607 yards in 2013.

Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams.

At his pace, Barkley should reach that milestone, even possibly ahead of the 17th game of the season that Dickerson and the NFL did not have in 1984.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead for Barkley and his chances of catching Dickerson:

Barkley leads the NFL in rushing with 1,623 yards, a hefty 216 yards ahead of Baltimore's Derrick Henry at 1,407 (though the Ravens had a bye Sunday).

He is averaging 124.8 yards per game. At that pace, and with one more game to play than Dickerson had, he would become the top single-season rusher in NFL history. He needs 483 yards over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. Barkley is on pace for 2,122 yards, which would put him just 17 yards beyond Dickerson's 2,105 total.

Just on the quality of defenses alone, Barkley faces little pushback down the stretch.

He feasted against a Panthers defense that was one of the worst against the run in the NFL. Barkley averaged 6.2 yards on 20 carries against Carolina and could easily expect to match that pace over at least three of the next four games.

The Steelers come to Philly on Sunday and should provide the stiffest test for Barkley in his record pursuit.
