A running back is only as good as his offensive line (for the most part, anyway). The resurgence of the Pittsburgh Steelers run game has been a combination of excellent offensive line play paired up with the hard-running Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
Last week, Harris and Warren were Kyle Brandt’s two finalists for his Andry Runs award with Harris edging Warren out thanks to his huge production and nasty stiff arm against the Seattle Seahawks.
To make it even sweeter, when Harris got word from Brandt that he won, he gave all the credit to his offensive line and tight ends who block so well for him..
Here it is.
Najee Harris won 😡ANGRY RUNS😡 for the 5th time.
This is the picture he and the Steelers sent back. He’s not even in it.
I respect this so much. 👊🏻 pic.twitter.com/94F7jf3iZy

The Steelers offensive line has seen steady improvement since rookie offensive tackle Broderick Jones was plugged into the starting lineup.
