Player of the Week

Harris is Digest Player of the Week

NAJEE HARRIS
Running Back

Not long into the CBS telecast of the game, analyst Charles Davis said that Najee Harris entered the week ranked fourth in the NFL in broken tackles, and by the time the finishing touches had been put on the Steelers 32-13 victory over the Raiders in Las Vegas it's a certainty Harris did nothing to negatively impact his standing.

Harris rushed for 106 yards on 14 carries (7.6 average), scored a touchdown that came on a 36-yard run, and caught 2 passes for 16 more yards. Harris is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.

Also considered were T.J. Watt, who finished with 5 tackles, including 2 for loss, and 2 forced fumbles, both of which impacted the scoreboard; QB Justin Fields, who completed 14-of-24 (58.3 percent) for 145 yards, with no touchdowns, no interceptions, and a rating of 75.9, while also rushing for 59 yards on 11 carries, with touchdowns of 3 and 7 yards; LB Patrick Queen, who led the team with 13 tackles, including 1 for loss; SS DeShon Elliott, who had 6 tackles and recovered 1 of the fumbles Watt forced; CB Donte Jackson, who finished with 1 tackle, 2 passes defensed, and an interception, which was his second in the last 2 games and third of the season; Cam Heyward, who had 4 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 hits on the quarterback; Keeanu Benton, who had 2 tackles, a recovery on the other fumble forced by Watt, and a pass batted down at the line of scrimmage; and Jeremiah Moon, who had 1 tackle on defense, 1 tackle on special teams, and blocked a punt.
