With the Eagles in the red zone after the Commanders fumbled the kickoff in the first half of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, it appeared that Washington was poised to hold the Eagles to three points. Barkley was about to be stopped short on third down. In fact, he was already conceding the play and heading out of bounds.

Barkley wasn't given the chance to top Dickerson's single-season rushing record. But there are two long-standing playoff rushing records Barkley could break Sunday against the Commanders.

Against the Washington Commanders, Barkley showed off once again. The former New York Giant went for 118 yards on 15 carries, scoring three touchdowns in the Eagles ' 55-23 win. The win sent Barkley to his first Super Bowl appearance, and Philadelphia's second in three years.
