Steelers’ RB Najee Harris selected NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for October

Mike Tomlin saw his Pittsburgh Steelers win three of four games in October.

Pittsburgh won three straight matchups versus the Broncos, Seahawks, and Browns to improve to 4-3.

The reason for its recent success is featuring a first-round running back more. Najee Harris got selected at No. 24 overall of the NFL Draft in April by the Steelers. Pittsburgh wanted to return to a power running game and take pressure off its aging quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. After a slow start in two games, Harris showed Steeler fans his versatility as a receiver.

He totaled 14 catches for 102 receiving yards in week three against the Bengals.
