Pittsburgh Steelers Locker Room: Najee Harris explains this thought process on his incredible diving touchdown.
LAS VEGAS — Najee Harris broke free for his longest run of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, scampering 36 yards to the end zone in the gamebreaking score as the Pittsburhg Steelres won, 32-13.
The final five of those yards happened in the air, as Harris took off from the 5-yard line, and landed with the football outstretched right at the goal line. If the ball had come down short of the goal line, it could have been a fumble into the end zone, and the Raiders would have taken over. Instead, Harris just got the stripe for the score.

“I think that everybody, whenever they believe they can do something, they can do it Harris said. “If I say want to say I can jump from the free-throw line like Michael Jordan did, you can jump from the free-throw line. I don’t put no types of restraints on what I do. Because I know what I can do. I don’t really care what other people say or think. So when I had that opportunity, I just took it.”
