Arian Foster sets record for most rushing yards in first two postseason games

Texans running back Arian Foster faced two top rush defenses in his first two career postseason games: Cincinnati (10th against the run) last week and Baltimore (second) this week.

Not only did Foster rush for 100-plus yards in both games, but he broke the previous record (278 yards) set by Duane Thomas in 1970 for the most rushing yards in a player's first two playoff games.

In his two postseason games, Foster rushed for a combined 285 yards and three touchdowns on 51 carries and had eight receptions for 51 yards as well.

Foster missed three regular-season games (two due to injury plus Week 17 for rest), but he finished the season with nine 100-yard rushing games counting the playoffs and three 100-yard receiving games. Teammate Ben Tate had three 100-yard rushing games this season as well.

That said, I'm sure that Foster would trade the yardage to keep playing this postseason.
