Najee Harris earns historic first for Steelers’ running backs vs. Ravens

Then there’s this detail. Harris also added five catches for 21 yards. He had a part in almost half of the Steelers 289 yards.

The Steelers ended the regular season on a three-game winning streak. And the running game came up big in all three, as Rudolph settled in at quarterback. Harris exceeded 100 yards the past two games. It’s the first time this season he put together consecutive 100 yarders. He also gained 78 yards in a win over the Bengals, which started the winning streak.

And here’s how tough Harris was during the game. According to Next Gen Stats, the Steelers running back ran inside on 19 of his 26 carries for 100 of his 112 yards.

By game’s end, Harris and his teammates were celebrating their 10th win of the season and the possibility of a playoff berth.

To make the playoffs, the Steelers now need either a tie in Saturday’s Texans-Colts game or a loss from the Bills or Jaguars on Sunday. Harris said to even be in this position showed “resiliency” from the team.

“I keep saying that word. But it’s true,” Harris said. “The times that you know things look really rough, we always kept as a team, and we kept playing our football and our identity.”

Then he complimented coach Mike Tomlin.

“To get 10 wins is good for the team, but also Mike T,” Harris said. “Just a good coach. He’s been carrying us along this whole year. I think that it really showed how resilient and how calm he always is, even when stuff looks bad. A lot of negative stuff being said, and he always just stays the same person. So, happy for Mike T and the team.”
