Titans RB Chris Johnson isn’t overly boastful about his talent as a runner, but he isn’t shy about it either.

So it comes as little surprise that he would have his eyes peeled for a run towards one of the most hallowed records in the NFL: the single season rushing yards mark set in 1984 by Rams RB Eric Dickerson. That season, Dickerson ran over, under, and around his opponents en route to 2,105 yards, and while several backs have come close in the interim, no one has been able to pass him by.

But all of that may change this year, as Johnson is set to rush for 2,030 yards this season, if he stays on his current pace of 126.9 yards per game over the final five weeks of the season. It’s definitely a plausible goal to reach on Johnson’s part, especially if he can replicate his production from November, when he rushed for 800 yards.

Johnson currently sits at 1,396 yards on the season, which is easily the highest mark in the league this year.
