White RBs and 100-yard games

sport historian said:
A 100-yard game in the playoffs has never been counted with those in the regular season. Nor are other statistics. Playoff statistics are separate. Or have been.

Last year Saquon Barkley's regular season and playoff rushing and receiving yards were added together for a new yardage from scrimmage record. The NFL likes to create new heroes. Or perhaps those of a certain type.

This has been a point of consideration that has been especially irksome for me. Regular season and playoffs have always been separate as they should be but every time Barkley is mentioned it is always the most rushing yards county playoffs.

He didn’t break the regular season record and it seems like the media is upset about that so they must include the playoffs.

If that is the case, how come McCaffrey didn’t have the all-time scrimmage yards record after his 2023 season?
 
I don’t think regular and post season stats should be combined, however this thread is to track and record 100 yard games by White RBs, and it clearly says counting both regular and postseason. So I brought attention to Rob Carpenter missing one game.

Mark Bailey’s game, for the record, was week 1 of the 1978 season.

The media didn't pay any attention to the scrimmage yards record with McCaffrey. FWIW Marshall Faulk, counting playoffs had the most yards from scrimmage counting playoffs after the 1999 season. But the playoff yards weren't counted with Faulk either.
