Najee Harris balled out in the Pittsburgh Steelers win over the Seattle Seahawks, putting up 122 rushing yards on 27 carries and two touchdowns.
He could’ve easily had a third, but instead of padding his stat line and finishing the game with a hat trick, he showed alertness and acted selflessly — much to the dismay of fantasy football Harris owners.
With 57 seconds to go in the game, the Steelers needed a first down to turn the page on Seattle. Harris got it on a 12-yard scamper, sliding down at the Seahawks’ 5-yard line. All that was left was a Mason Rudolph kneel-down for the win.
It was Harris’ best outing in nearly a year, last putting up 111 yards on the Ravens in Week 16 of the 2022 season.
The Steelers will, once again, need to lean on their ground game to weaken the Ravens defense. They averaged a measly 2.9 yards per attempt in Week 5, but have an opportunity for much more given how Harris and Jaylen Warren have developed into the best duo in the league.
Since the Ravens’ last loss to the Browns in Week 10, the run defense has allowed 125.4 yards and 5.2 yards per carry per game to opponents.
