Former Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Gary Anderson is celebrating his 56th birthday today and with that, I thought it would be fun to feature him in this week’s Throwback Thursday post.
Today, we will travel back in time to December 31, 1989 and the Steelers Wild Card game against the Houston Oilers. That was quite a game and it looked like the Steelers were doomed down seven points with 6:02 remaining in the fourth quarter. However, Steelers quarterback Bubby Brister led the offense on an 82-yard game-tying touchdown drive that was capped off by a 2-yard touchdown run by running back Merril Hoge with 46 seconds left to send it into overtime.
