Harris finished with 10 carries for 38 yards on the ground and added five receptions for 43 yards with the one score. The Steelers, however, suffered a 23-17 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.
Harris had another highlight-worthy play in the first quarter. He delivered a nasty stiff arm on Raiders defensive back Johnathan Abram and came away with a 9-yard reception.

In the win against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, Harris had 45 rushing yards on 16 carries and played in 100% of the team’s snaps.
Pittsburgh selected Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama. The Crimson Tide running back, who was fresh off of a national championship, has quickly made an impact on the Steelers’ offense since the first week of the season.
