Pittsburgh Steelers rookie, Najee Harris had one of those games, the running back rushed a total of 24 times during the contest and hit 81 yards. Harris also had six catches and went for 46 receiving yards in a 23-20 victory for the Steelers over the Seahawksin NFL week 6.
The win improved the Steelers record to .500 at 3-3 and the teams second win in a row although they still sit last in the AFC North standings. For Harris it has been a dream rookie season where he has scored 2 rushing touchdowns and 2 receiving touchdowns and has improved his stats with each game.
At the end of the game against the Seahawks, Harris also showed his swagger in the post-game interview Harris “called out” Seahawks safety Jamal Adams for one of the highlight moments of the game which was when Adams hit Harris in a defensive play that left fans and viewers shocked.

Najee Harris said after the game, “I saw him coming, but he got so low. I tried to meet him there. He rang my bell. That’s the stuff I like right there. That’s the football I like.” In a joking manner, in the play Harris met Adams head on and the bang left fans at home and in the stadium shocked.
While Harris attributed the hit to “just Football” it was one of the highlight hits of the young NFL season. Harris and the Steelers have a bye week in week 7 but come back and hope to make it three in a row against the Cleveland Browns in week 8.
