On the last play of the game, a fourth down and goal from the three-yard line, Foster was in primarily as a blocker for Neil O’Donnell, but when San Diego sent no pass rush Foster ran out of the back field to become an eligible receiver on a short underneath route. The throw from O’Donnell was delayed and gave San Diego linebacker Dennis Gibson the chance to reach over Foster and bat the ball to the ground as Foster was falling to the turf of Three Rivers stadium. That play ended the Steelers’ season. O’Donnell later stated that Foster was his fourth read on that play.
