The Pittsburgh Steelers are used to playing with a target on their back and don’t receive glowing compliments from their rivals. Well, running back Najee Harris has undeniable talent than Maxx Crosby I couldn’t denyand does not want to meet at the Oklahoma exercise.
“That’s another one. A big fucking physical back. You really need to tackle this ********,” Crosby sang. “He’s a big boy.”
Harris was important in the Steelers’ Week 6 win over the Raiders. The 26-year-old Alabama alum ran for 106 yards on 14 carries in the 32-13 blowout. Crosby had a chance to keep a game close, but missed the opportunity to drive the Steelers off the field. He felt a certain sense of the game even after sleeping on the loss.
“I’m not going to lie. I thought I had a clean TFL (tackle for loss) at first and I missed quietly,” Crosby admitted. “I was a little stoned. He got a little agitated, but I got his ass back later. So Harris, if you’re watching, fuck you.
This last part was said with a friendly laugh. Crosby couldn’t hold back when talking about an old friend.
“A big congratulations to Harris. That’s my guy. Great guy.

Pittsburgh puts many preseason predictions to bed early. Some skeptics have given the Steelers four to five wins all season. Mike Tomlin fulfilled this expectation a few weeks before Halloween. It says a lot about the organization that a discussion between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson did not cause more chaos.
Instead, it’s all business ahead of a Week 7 Sunday Night Football matchup with the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets. Tomlin I got ahead of any speculation 48 hours after the elimination of the Raiders.
“I felt comfortable with his ability to display his health [last week]” Tomlin explained (with ESPN’s Brooke Pryor). “Now it’s about knocking the rust off. He’s in consideration this week. We’ll see where it goes, man. Both guys at quarterback- rear have to work [Wednesday] and we’ll just go through it day by day. All this to put us in the best position to win the football game.
