Riding a three-game losing streak after Sunday's loss to the New York Jets, the Pittsburgh Steelers still remain just one game out of first place in the AFC North, and should still feel hopeful for their season's future. With rookie first round pick, Kenny Pickett getting his first snaps of the season in Week 4, the offense now seems rejuvenated. Not only did Pickett have two rushing touchdowns in the second half, but second-year star running back, Najee Harris got going as well as the energy at Acrisure Stadium completely shifted once the 20th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft entered the game on Sunday.

Harris finished Sunday's contest with 18 carries for 74 yards and a 4.1 yards per carry average. Despite the loss, those are all season highs for the 1x Pro Bowler, as he continues to get better and better with every game.
Sunday also revealed another side of the former Alabama product, as Harris sat down with Barstool Sports' hilarious interview personality, Caleb Pressley. Pressley is known for asking comedic-style questions to famous actors/actresses, sports stars, entertainers and more, in a one-on-one setting, along with his "frat boy" sidekick, "Glenny Balls." Harris was up next to be interviewed and was drilled about questions regarding payment from his alma mater, Nick Saban, a rather disturbing stereotype, and much more:
"I don't think Alabama... I mean, I don't know if Alabama [has] incest," Harris curiously explained. "That's like the stereotype maybe?""I mean, I have heard stories though, being in college... now that you say that," Harris continued. "Maybe they didn't know that they were family?"

Harris also took some time to sign a jersey that was then sold "live" during the interview, addressed being "stripped" (both on the football field and regarding his clothing), while also debating with Glenny Balls on whether or not he would be in a college fraternity... when the answer is quite obvious.
