While the Steelers struggled to get Najee Harris going on the ground Sunday in Indianapolis, Cordarrelle Patterson found success. So, too, did QB Justin Fields, having his most successful day with the Steelers as a runner. While nobody tore the turf up, the run game did look effective in spots. Harris just didn’t happen to be in those spots.
Najee Harris finished Sunday’s game with just 19 rushing yards on 13 attempts. He only had four or five successful runs, and none in the first half, with a long gain of five. Before Cordarrelle Patterson checked out with an injury, he rushed for 43 yards on just six carries.
