Despite playing three quarterbacks and fielding one of the league’s worst offenses, the Pittsburgh Steelers have managed to secure a 10-win season. Mason Rudolph and the Penguins are on a three-game winning streak. While Rudolph has helped the Steelers’ offense, it’s the team’s run game that has exploded. After his 100-yard performance on Saturday, starting running back Najee Harris spoke with the media, explaining that it’s time to get back to the film room and improve.
“I’m going to watch a movie.” “I need to watch film on this game and see what I need to work on,” Harris told Brian Batko of PG Sports Now.
Harris had a rocky start to the season, splitting carries with Jaylen Warren in the backfield. He’s earned back-to-back 100-yard games as the Steelers’ workhorse back thanks to his focus and unwavering desire to win. He’s fit in well with the offensive line’s development and is learning to trust those around him to make good plays and move the ball.
With their Week 18 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers are now one win away from clinching a playoff spot against the Miami Dolphins or the Tennessee Titans. The Steelers reverted to classic blue-collar Pittsburgh football, dominating the ground game. If the Steelers make the playoffs, Harris will be a key player in securing the team’s first postseason victory since 2017. The players’ and coaching staff’s mindsets appeared to have shifted in Pittsburgh, with all parties focused on competing in January.

The Steelers will be joined by two defenders for the Ravens game.
PITTSBURGH, PA (AP) — For the third time, the Pittsburgh Steelers have promoted safety Eric Rowe and inside linebacker Myles Jack from the practice squad to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.
After being called up, the Steelers have used both players as starters over the last two weeks. Because Elandon Roberts was out with a pectoral injury last week, Jack wore the green dot. Despite the fact that Roberts and Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) are listed as questionable, the Steelers have added two practice squad veterans to their roster.
In two games with the Steelers, Rowe has 17 tackles and an interception on defense. Jack has 14 tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss in those two weeks.
Because this is their third elevation to the active/inactive roster, Pittsburgh will need to sign both players to the 53-man roster if they make the playoffs. They will not be able to raise either one for the fourth time.
According to Roberts, he expects to play against the Ravens, but Jack will most likely line up alongside him. Fitzpatrick and Patrick Peterson will likely start at safety, with Rowe coming off the bench if he plays.
