His performance in Sunday's game allowed Barkley's 2024 total to leapfrog past both Adrian Peterson's 2012 season and Eric Dickerson's 1984 campaign on the all-time list, with only back-to-back seasons from former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis ahead of him.

With his two touchdowns on Sunday, Barkley also claimed the league's all-time single season record (including playoffs) for most rushing TDs of 60 or more yards. Additionally, he tied Jerry Rice's 1998 season with six offensive TDs in a single season (including playoffs).
