Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris tied the game against the Cincinnati Bengals in the second quarter with a 10-yard rushing touchdown. However, there was a point early in the game when it seemed like he may have suffered an injury. Harris was briefly sidelined in the first quarter with what was thought to be a knee injury, but he revealed after the game that he had simply eaten too much food at a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by tight end Pat Freiermuth’s girlfriend, Jill.
“I had too much. I guess I didn’t know it affected me until that first drive,” Harris said. “So, I blame her.” He said he ate some oranges to help alleviate the affliction.
Harris’s touchdown was a clutch moment in the high-scoring game, and he finished with 75 rushing yards on 16 carries. He also had six catches for 54 yards.
Freiermuth, who had six catches for 68 yards and a touchdown, gave a special shoutout to his girlfriend on X after the game. The Steelers moved to 9-3 on the season and are currently in first place in the AFC North.
