Najee Harris blames Thanksgiving dinner for early struggles

Najee Harris said he overdid it on Thanksgiving and it caught up to him on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris got off to a hot start on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals and then mysteriously took himself out of the game. He clearly had something wrong judging by his body language on the sidelines but the reporters on the broadcast were mum about any details.

Then after a short break, Harris looked to be back to full strength. He came back in and never missed a beat after that. It wasn’t until after the game when Harris let everyone in on what happened to him.

Blame Pat Friermuth’s girlfriend. According to Harris, Freiermuth’s girlfriend makes a great meal and he overdid it. He said she made some sort of banana dessert and Harris had too much. He said the big meal hit him all at once but he ate some oranges on the sideline and was fine.
