Two weeks ago, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie running back Najee Harris was riding high after rushing for a combined 165 yards and one touchdown in two games against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings.
Now, one week removed from a disastrous performance against the Tennessee Titans, things are looking rather rough for Harris, who may be hitting the proverbial rookie wall while on pace for more than 400 touches in a single season behind a bad offensive line.
Against the Titans, Harris produced very little, rushing for just 18 yards on 12 carries, adding two catches for eight yards on a day where he was hit in the backfield early and often, and when he did have some running room he missed some holes, resulting in a poor performance across the board.
