Najee Harris Sets New Steelers Rookie Record For All-Purpose Yards

Running back Najee Harris came up one score short of tying the Pittsburgh Steelers’ franchise rookie record for all-purpose touchdowns in a season, going into the finale with 10 scores and needing only one. He failed to score, though he missed most of the game. Fortunately, he went in needing only one yard to set a new franchise rookie record for all-purpose yards, and he did that comfortably.

First, a little clarification for anybody who might need it. Everybody knows passing yards, rushing yards, and receiving yards. Yards from scrimmage is combined yards rushing and receiving. All-purpose yards also includes return yards on kicks and punts (as well as defensive return yardage on fumbles and interceptions).
