Those are Barkley’s numbers looking back two weeks in standard scoring.
Many running backs hit the 40-mark.
In fact, it happens at least once or twice a season.
But what about a rolling-two game stretch?
Which means, presumably, anyone.
It’s Monday on Thanksgiving week.
So what else are you going to do in the office?
Let’s run through those other eight.
And tack on two more receiving.
It was something else.
He would follow that up in Week 15 with 170 and two touchdowns vs Giants.
What a absolutely thrilling start to the fantasy playoffs.
Although I think most playoffs started in Week 15 back before they added the extra game.
Give the Raiders some credit for holding him to 20 yards on eight carries though.
December football, baby.
Four total touchdowns was the cherry on top.
Nothing like getting a little rest.
He would go on to put 206/2 on the ground the following week vs the Lions and 46 receiving.
But when you only have 30 the immediate week before, I guess you’re all rested up.
That was the world for running backs back at the turn of the century.
It’s all about being present, fellas.
Doug e Doug’s touchdown yardage for his four scores on that Week 9 thriller in Oakland.
But that game was the encore.
Probably why I was so locked in to clicking those little x’s while getting lit of lattes.
Alright - here we go.
Just an absolute animal.
That’s over 400 yards of offense during a two game stretch.
Honorable mentions
Let’s run through names you’re probably wondering about to bring this home.
He came in 15th place at 70.8 points.
23rd place at 67.8 (weeks 12 and 13).
Oh yeah and again in 2013 at rank 44 (62.6 points) for Week 13 and 14.
Might give Mike Anderson a run for his money after all for the rolling-three game record.
Almost a literal decade.
Like, we just gave up on him a couple year ago.
Is he on team by the way?
Larry Johnson - #10 at 72.1 (weeks 16 and 17, 2005).
Chiefs mid aughts running backs man.
LaDainian Tomlinson - #69 (59.3 points) Still probably the fantasy GOAT.
Suprised he wasn’t a little higher on this list.
Marshall Faulk - Didn’t make the top-100.
48.1 was his best back in weeks 5 and 6, 1995.
Shaun Alexander - Top two-game stretch was 71.2 from that classic 5-score game in 2002.
