On Sunday, Pittsburgh scored no points in the first half against the Browns.
The Steelers only had two total drives with more than one first down.
And they recorded just nine yards on two fourth-quarter possessions after tying the game at 10-10 on a field goal.
After the game, Harris suggested there were deeper problems in Pittsburgh’s offense.
“There’s just a lot of things going around that you don’t see,” the running back said via CBS.
“I’m just at the point where I’m just sick of this crap.”
Harris was a disappointment in 2023, averaging just 49.9 rushing yards per game.
The 2021 first-round pick’s season was disappointing after he posted 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons.
