the 2,000-yard club is a group of seven national football league (nfl) running backs who have rushed for 2,000 or more yards in a regular season. these seven rushing seasons rank as the highest single-season rushing totals in nfl history, and reaching the 2,000-yard mark is considered a significant achievement for running backs. no running back has yet achieved this feat twice. the first 2,000-yard season was recorded in 1973 by buffalo bills running back o.j. simpson. simpson is the only player to have surpassed 2,000 yards in a 14-game season, as all others occurred in 16-game seasons; he finished the season with 2,003 rushing yards, averaging six yards per carry and an nfl-record 143.1 rushing yards per game. los angeles rams running back eric dickerson, who had broken the single-season rookie rushing record in 1983, recorded the second 2,000-yard season in 1984. dickerson rushed for 2,105 yards, the current nfl rushing record, and averaged 131.6 rushing yards per game.
