Two Consecutive Strong Games Has Najee Harris Climbing NFL.com’s RB Index Ladder

Don’t look now, but Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie running back Najee Harris is on a roll.

After running into a bit of a rookie wall midway through the season coupled with poor offensive line play overall, Harris and the Steelers’ rushing attack seems to have found its stride late in the season. It couldn’t come at a better time for the Steelers, who are fighting for their playoff lives each week.

In back to back weeks against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings, Harris has rushed for 165 yards and a touchdown on 40 carries, including his second-highest total of the season against the Vikings on Thursday night, tallying 94 yards and the score.
