NFL – Pittsburgh Steelers: Najee Harris sets franchise record against Kansas City Chiefs

With 10:29, the Pittsburgh Steelers went down against the Kansas City Chiefs. Running back Najee Harris still set a franchise record.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had little to offer the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday.

While the 10-29 defeat for Head Coach Mike Tomlin’s team was a setback in the AFC playoff race, Patrick Mahomes and Co. secured first place in the conference and a bye week in the first playoff round.

Despite the clear defeat, Steelers running back Najee Harris had a little reason to celebrate, as he was responsible for 74 rushing yards in the game.

The 26-year-old is the first player in franchise history to break the 1,000-rushing-yards mark in each of his first four NFL seasons.

The 2021 first-round pick is also the only NFL player to have run for at least 1,000 yards in each of the past four seasons. He currently has 1,007 rushing yards after 16 games.

Since Harris has played in the best football league in the world, only four players have gained more yardage over the ground: Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs and Jonathan Taylor.
