3 impressive Steelers performances against the Cleveland Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Browns in their house, here are three-player performances that stood out.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated a division foe 15-10 on the road. The Steelers were not expected to beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday but made a good effort despite the questionable coaching decisions and bad penalties.

Pittsburgh had multiple players stand out during this win but three players come to mind right away. Here are three players that impressed during the game at key times:

Steelers RB Najee Harris

Najee Harris is always expected to stand out in games since he was a first-round pick, and he stood out today because of his workload. Harris carried the ball 26 times — which was more than all of Cleveland’s rushers combined. He also ran for 91 yards and a touchdown which brought the team back within one during the third quarter.

Harris steadied the game when the Steelers were driving and he helped to run down the clock at the end of the game. Najee’s big play other than the touchdown was powering forward to convert on a crucial 4th & 1 from Pittsburgh’s own 48-yard line.

Najee wasn’t featured as much in the receiving game as he has been in the past but he still totaled 29 yards on 3 receptions. Harris was also a help in the blocking aspect of the game and chipped Myles Garrett from time to time to delay his rush. Najee seemed to be used in all aspects on offense other than passing and helped Pittsburgh secure its first win against Cleveland since Week 6 of 2020.
