The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9. In the Super Bowl era, only two 2,000-yard rushers have earned the right to play in pro football’s biggest game.
In this year’s game, the Eagles’ Saquon Barkley, the 2024 Bert Bell Award winner as the top player in the National Football League, rushed for 2,005 yards and 13 TDs.
In 1998, the league’s best player, with the salute to the Mile High fans and the initials “TD”, Terrell Davis, was scoring touchdowns at will on his way to another Super Bowl victory.
Davis rushed for 2,008 yards and 21 touchdowns during the 1998 season. That production carried over into the playoffs as he rushed for 468 yards and three TDs, an average of six yards per carry.
