The Pittsburgh Steelers went into Baltimore, got a win and kept their playoff hopes alive for the time being. Even with the Ravens not having anything to play for, it was a typical AFC North “grind it out” type of game. You have to give credit to Mike Tomlin’s group for coming in and setting the tone from a physicality standpoint, controlling both sides of the line of scrimmage. They still need help in order to make the dance but step one of the process was a success. Let’s take a look at some of the key contributors from today’s win.
Dude- Najee Harris
When the Steelers selected Najee Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, they had days like today in mind. The former Crimson Tide tailback rolled for 112 rushing yards on 26 carries including an early score. His ability to continuously keep the offense on schedule was notable, as 54% of his attempts were successful. That’s three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career, with hopefully a couple more still to come.
