Harris’ performance Sunday following his rough game in New Orleans was encouraging. The safety finished with six tackles and two pass breakups. He started the game with a solid tackle on Barner that limited a potential big play to a four-yard gain, and his two pass breakups came in big moments late in the fourth quarter. The first pass breakup was on a shot to the end zone to Austin Hooper. The second came on the second-to-last play of the game, once again against Hooper in the end zone. Harris got just enough of the ball to force an incomplete pass. In a game where the secondary lacked depth, Harris came up with a strong showing.
