Flashback Friday: Steelers’ RB Barry Foster Carves Up Jets In 1992

Right away in the 1992 season — which happened to be his third season in the NFL and first season as a starter with the Pittsburgh Steelers — Barry Foster showed just how special a season it was going to be in the Steelers’ 60th year of existence.

Foster, who ultimately went on to set the single-season franchise rushing record with 1,690 yards and 11 touchdowns on 390 carries and finished second in the NFL MVP voting that season, opened up the 1992 season with a bang, rushing for 107 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in the season-opener on the road against the Houston Oilers, a game in which the Steelers won 29-24.
