Through two preseason games, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting offense has been white hot. Three drives, three touchdowns, numerous explosive plays. In fact, all three of those scores have been outside the red zone, something they almost never did in 2022. While Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, Jaylen Warren, and Pat Freiermuth have made those plays, starting RB Najee Harris has been an afterthought. In the opener, he only saw one touch, a short catch. Last night, he had just two carries for six yards.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Harris said he’d like to play as much as possible but knows the team has a plan in place.
