Since the 1970 merger with the AFL and the NFL, the only other running backs to rush for more yards in an eight game road stretch were Eric Dickerson and Earl Campbell. Both running backs are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
And here are the Top 5 best eight game rushing totals to put this stat into broader context:
1. Eric Dickerson (1,188 yards)
2. Earl Campbell (1,127 yards)
3. Derrick Henry (1,121 yards)
4. Barry Sanders (1,118 yards)
5. O.J. Simpson (1,116 yards)
Pretty good company.

Impressive stat, but even more impressively "random." 
What egg head even tracks this kind of stuff?

Probably.
It most likely alerts when a player goes to the top of a list.

But what is his YPC in those games? That’s all that matters. No 5.0+, no care. Maybe 4.8....

And did that software write itself? Are tOSU people insufferable with anything involving sports and computers, or is it just you?

He has 2,600 rushing yards in his last 20 games, including the playoffs.
I don’t know how much that factors into the spreadsheets though

I really have no dog in this hunt, I was just curious about his stats.
YPG: 1st
YPC: 7th (only players over 100 carries, 3rd if you look at 150+ carries)
Fumbles: 1st (zero)
Carries: 1st (256)
TDs: 2nd
TD%: 6th (3rd for players with 150+ carries)
1st downs: 2nd
1st down%: 11th (3rd for players with 150+ carries and ahead of Dalvin Cook)
They also rely on him a ton, I didn't do this for every player, but he was tops in the few I looked at. Even factoring in other RBs receiving, he's more of their offense just running it. Kamara being the exception.
36.11% of plays are handoffs to him, 29.36% of first downs are by him, and 29.63% of yards are from.
ETA:
Honestly, my takeaways from this besides about Henry, are that Ronald Jones is severely underrated and Alvin Kamara is the monster Saints fans know he is, but others don't acknowledge. Kamara is a machine.
