Najee Harris blames media for Steelers' offensive struggles: 'You guys are breaking us up'
When something doesn't appear to be working, it's important to inquire why in order to understand the problem. However, it seems reporters asking Pittsburgh Steelers players about the team's offensive struggles is doing more harm than good — at least according to star running back Najee Harris, who is putting the blame on the press.
"We're really comfortable," Harris told reporters this week. "You know what it is? I think it's social media and the interviewers like you guys kind of breaking us apart in a way."
But Harris went even further saying the media is breaking the team up while they are actively trying to build something.

"You guys keep asking questions like this," Harris said. "We're at a point where we're building right now. We're working on it. But you guys come in here and ask questions to the receivers and Mitch about why things aren't working. That's not how you build, how you get better.
"You guys are breaking us up. We need to find a way to come together as a team and focus on what needs to matter the most."
