Like a boss
Fred Taylor, then a third-year veteran, used this mid-November Sunday Night Football game to turn in perhaps the most memorable performance of his 12-year career in a 34-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taylor, in the middle of a remarkable nine-game stretch in which he rushed for more than 100 yards in every game, rushed for 234 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries — setting a record for yards in a game against the Steelers and the most yards ever by an opponent in Three Rivers Stadium ... It was Taylor’s fifth consecutive 100-yard game; he finished the season with 1,399 yards and 12 touchdowns on 292 carries in 13 games.

Also Including Mark Brunell's comments about why Fred is a Hall of Famer

“[Fred Taylor] was amazing. I don’t think there was anything he didn’t have. I don’t think people realize how tough he was, how physical he was. He was a tackle-to-tackle guy, a downhill physical guy … but he had that ability … gone. He could run through somebody and he could make somebody miss. He could catch. He was smart at protections. From my perspective, there was nothing he couldn’t do. He was just a kid out there playing. He had the respect of his teammates. He wasn’t a big talker. He worked hard. What I loved about Fred was that sucker could spend all week in the training room with ice and all this stuff and (snaps fingers) … there he is on Sunday. He would take a beating and go out there and compete. I wish I had appreciated Fred more when I was playing with him. He was so reliable and so damned good. To me, he’s a Hall of Famer.”

Could not agree more. That guy was amazing when you consider the Tank Black stuff could have made him bitter as well.
