JANUARY 4, 2022

Big game against Browns Harris rushed 28 times for 188 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 26-14 win over the Browns. He also caught all three of his targets for 18 yards.

Impact Harris fueled Pittsburgh's offense all evening, posting a new career high on the ground while setting the franchise's record for rookie rushing yards in a season along the way. The first-rounder put an exclamation point on Monday's victory with a 37-yard touchdown run with under a minute remaining, marking his longest gain of the season. Following a dominant effort, Harris will strive to keep his momentum going in Week 18 versus the Ravens, when he'll surely be important in the Steelers' quest to still sneak into the playoffs.

Goes over 100 yards from scrimmage Harris ran for 93 yards on 19 carries and caught five passes for 17 yards on seven targets against Kansas City on Sunday.

Impact Harris ran hard against the Chiefs defense despite getting let down by the offense around him, especially the Pittsburgh passing game. While the Steelers passing game is likely to continue struggling and the burden of that might continue falling disproportionately on Harris, he also has already shown the ability to produce despite the poor circumstances in a number of games this year. Even though his Week 17 matchup with Cleveland isn't easy on paper, Harris' high usage gives him a shot to stand out. Harris ran for 91 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries and added three receptions for 29 yards the first time he faced Cleveland.

Tennessee two-step: Sloppy Titans fall once again

The Tennessee Titans let a chance to move into the top spot in the AFC slip away in a 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doesn't get going Harris rushed the ball 12 times for 18 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over Tennessee. He added two receptions for eight yards.

Impact Harris had trouble getting going throughout the game and was limited to fewer than 15 carries for only the fourth time this season. He came close to finding the end zone late in the third quarter but was denied just short of the goal line, only to have Ben Roethlisberger sneak in for a touchdown on the following play. Despite the fact that Harris has recorded multiple receptions in every game since Week 1, he's been held to 20 receiving yards or fewer in four of his last five contests.

Thursday Night Football top plays: Vikings hold off Steelers in thriller

The Vikings jumped to a 29-0 lead and then held off a furious Steelers' charge for a 36-28 win. Here are the top plays.

DECEMBER 10, 2021

Pair of touchdowns in loss Harris rushed 20 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 10 yards and another score in the Steelers' 36-28 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night.

Impact Harris, like the rest of the Steelers offense, got off to a completely forgettable start over the first two quarters. However, the rookie turned it around during a second half in which Pittsburgh nearly pulled off an improbable comeback, with Harris playing a key role by finding the end zone on a three-yard scoring grab and one-yard touchdown run in the third and fourth quarter, respectively. Harris has now exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in back-to-back contests, and his rushing yardage Thursday served as the third-highest of his career thus far. The 2021 first-round pick's next chance to enhance his impressive resume comes versus the Titans in a Week 15 battle a week from Sunday.

Tops 100 yards from scrimmage Harris rushed 21 times for 71 yards while hauling in all five of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.

Impact Harris had been limited to just 96 yards from scrimmage on 28 touches across the last two weeks, but he had plenty of volume in Sunday's narrow victory. The rookie has now topped 20 carries in four of his six appearances since Pittsburgh's Week 7 bye, but he's averaged just 3.4 yards per carry during that time. He'll face a more favorable opponent during next week's matchup against Minnesota.
