Philadelphia Eagles Rushing Yards per Game Leaders

Career totals with the Eagles and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through October 19: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. 1943: merged with Pittsburgh as the Phil-Pitt Eagles-Steelers. Merged-season player lines count for both franchises, as Pro-Football-Reference's franchise histories do. No schedule length in the source for 1943, so no season line that year qualifies for a rate board.
