ProActiv Question of the Day: NFL's Single Season Rushing Record
November 1, 2018
Eric Dickerson holds the NFL single-season rushing record with 2,105 yards in 1984.
Eric Dickerson set the NFL single-season rushing record in 1984, accumulating 2,105 yards with the Los Angeles Rams. That mark still stands today.
Dickerson's combination of size, speed, and vision made him nearly impossible to bring down in the open field. His signature upright running style and tinted visor became iconic. Following ACL surgery, he came within eight yards of matching his own record, demonstrating remarkable resilience.
