Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is one of the most athletic running backs in the National Football League. He proved that again on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, when he ripped off a 19-yard touchdown run, then decided to hurdle in the end zone near the pylon, which is always fun to watch.

Check it out below.

The 19-yard rushing touchdown by Harris was the Steelers’ first touchdown of 10-plus yards this season. The Steelers had gone nine straight games to start the season without a 10-yard rushing touchdown. It’s the longest such streak of any team in the NFL since at least 1933.

Harris’ production has dropped dramatically this season, but Sunday was one of his best performances of the year.

Najee Harris delivered one of his best performances of the year

The touchdown score tied the Steelers-Bengals game at 10-10 with a little bit less than 13 minutes remaining in the second quarter. The game was televised on CBS.

Unfortunately for Pittsburgh fans, the Bengals prevailed 37-30 in a shootout. Harris finished the game with 90 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. As a receiver, the former Alabama star also hauled in four catches for 26 receiving yards.

The Steelers’ secondary could find no answer for Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins, who stepped up bigtime with Ja’Marr Chase out of the lineup. He hauled in nine catches for 148 receiving yards. Pittsburgh wideout George Pickens had a good game, hauling in four catches for 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. However, he also dropped a wide-open touchdown catch.

Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett had a decent showing, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 265 passing yards, while tossing in one touchdown and no interceptions.
