The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive identity looked firmly at risk after a two-game losing streak in which they rushed for 214 yards on 57 carries (3.8 ypc). Especially considering the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys were two of the worst rushing defenses entering their games against the Steelers. The run game finally broke out and got back on track against the Las Vegas Raiders. Najee Harris was a big part of that success.
He rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries for a 7.6 average. That was his first performance of the season over 100 yards rushing, and by far his best yards per carry average of his career.
