Saquon Barkley could break John Riggins’ record for rushing yards in a single playoff series

The 1982 NFL regular season was shortened by a strike, but the playoffs were extended with an alternate format. This allowed future Super Bowl winner Washington to play four playoff games. And John Riggins had 610 rushing yards in those four games, a record that still stands as the most rushing yards a player has ever had in the postseason.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley could threaten that record this year.

In two playoff games, Barkley has 324 rushing yards. That means he needs 287 yards the rest of the playoffs to break Riggins’ record.

Barkley would need a legendary performance to break the record on Sunday against the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, but he could do it on Sunday and then break Riggins’ record in the Super Bowl.

Riggins rushed for 140 yards in the NFC Championship Game and then 166 yards in Super Bowl XVII, winning the Super Bowl MVP award. Eagles fans can only hope Barkley has two more games like that in him.
