Steelers’ Najee Harris Puts Teammates on Notice: ‘I’m Tired of This’
For the 10th time in as many games, an opponent outgained the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 11. That fact, along with Pittsburgh’s offensive struggles, is apparently causing the patience of running back Najee Harris to grow thin.
That thin patience boiled over when Harris spoke to the media following the 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns on November 19.
“I want to say what I really want to say, but it’s difficult,” Harris told reporters, via The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo.
“There is a lot of stuff that goes around that you guys don’t see. I’m at a point where I’m just tired of this s***.”
Harris didn’t call it a team meeting, but he added that at least the offensive players will have a discussion together about it.
“We’re going to have a talk as a team,” Harris said, via TribLive.com’s Joe Rutter . “That’s the best way to say it.
“All of us, offensively I think.”
Steelers Fall to 6-4 After Loss to Browns
The Steelers came into the Week 11 showdown with the Browns a perfect 6-0 in one-possession games. But other statistics didn’t paint the Steelers in such a positive light.
Before Week 11, Pittsburgh held a minus-26 point differential, which was, by far, the worst of any team in a playoff spot. The Steelers had also been outgained in every game.
