The Pittsburgh Steelers are fighting for their postseason lives. The team must win out if they have any shot of extending their season beyond the final two games.
The Steelers must win out at this point over their remaining opponents, the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. Even winning both games doesn't assure Pittsburgh of a playoff berth, but a loss to either foe unequivocally keeps them out.
Steelers running back Najee Harris was asked about the pressure of having to win both contests. The rookie responded with a rather determined, if not proud take on shoving pressure aside.
Via Steelers Depot:
“I don't think it's pressure,” asserted Najee Harris on the Steelers' need to win out. “Why's it got to be pressure? Why can't you just go out there and have the mindset to win the game?”
“I think that the word ‘pressure' is kind of overrated. If you just put all that stuff aside and go out and execute and do your assignments, then there should be no pressure.”
While that's certainly some big talk from a rookie, Najee Harris has backed up any talk with his play on the field this season. He's in the top five in rushing yards among all NFL backs as the Steelers have leaned on him all season.
