LeSean McCoy Breaks Franchise Touchdown Mark

Share

Nobody in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles has crossed the goal line more often in one season than LeSean McCoy. With his three rushing touchdowns against the Jets on Sunday, Shady has scored 20 touchdowns on the season. He simultaneously broke the record for most rushing touchdowns with 16 and added another to make it 17.

The previous record was held for over 60 years by legendary running back Steve Van Buren, set in 1945. However, as they remarked during the broadcast, Van Buren posted his 18 scores over a 10-game season. By comparison, it took McCoy 14 games to create the new milestone.

Regardless, an incredible feat for one of the best backs in the NFL today. With two games to play, McCoy could set the bar higher still, to a level where it might be another 60-plus years until somebody else comes along and breaks it again -- unless of course Shady tops himself next season!
