There’s no I in team, but Najee Harris was tired of reporters making the Pittsburgh Steelers’ comeback against the Indianapolis Colts solely about quarterback Justin Fields.
When asked what Fields showed in the second half, a frustrated Harris (at 2:28) had this response:
I think we all showed ourselves. I think we as a team showed what we can do. Not one player. Y’all always keep putting on one person. It’s the whole team. All 11 of us. Stop making it one player. Y’all keep saying Justin as if he’s the one throwing, catching and running like, come on, bro. It’s all of us. So what do we do? What did we see? I saw us all fight us as a team.
A critical snap error, which Fields shouldered the blame for, overshadowed a strong comeback attempt led by the Steelers’ new quarterback. Meanwhile, Harris averaged a paltry 1.5 yards per carry on 13 attempts.
