For the fourth time in four NFL seasons, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris has rushed for 1,000-yards in a season. Harris broke through the four-digit barrier on Christmas Day against the Kansas City Chiefs. Entering the game 67-yards short of the mark, he crossed it in the final moments of a blowout loss, finishing the game with 71-yards.
For most of the game, Harris was bottled up and his 71-yard and 5.7-yard average are skewed because of a few final runs as the Chiefs played loose defense. It’s hardly a stat worth celebrating but a milestone all the same.
