COLUMBUS, Ohio — With the full weight of franchise history behind him, Najee Harris drove his right hand under the chin of poor M.J. Stewart during the third quarter of Monday night’s game.
The perfectly delivered stiff-arm came at the end of a 30-yard run that broke the Steelers’ rookie-rushing record previously held by Hall-of-Famer Franco Harris. It also sent the overmatched Browns defensive back tumbling helplessly to the turf much to the delight of Heinz Field fans, social media and honorary Yinzer Snoop Dogg.
“I think (Najee Harris) is related to Franco Harris the way he’s running the ball, man,” said Snoop, making a guest appearance on ESPN2’s ManningCast.
