Najee Harris delivered for the Pittsburgh Steelers just at the perfect moment.
With the Las Vegas Raiders leading the Steelers 16-7 in the fourth quarter, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger dropped back on third and 10 and delivered the pass to the running back. Harris caught it at about the 20-yard-line and turned it up field for a beautiful — diving into the endzone — touchdown.
