Stiff-arm competition: Najee Harris, Nick Chubb show off their stuff
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris and Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb showed off some power rushing in the third quarter of a Monday Night Football matchup.
Harris, 23, busted free for a 30-yard gain down the left sideline early in the third quarter when Browns safety M.J. Stewart tried to make the tackle and was instead met with a bulldozing stiff arm.
Not to be outdone, Chubb had a brutal stiff arm of his own just a few minutes later. The Browns running back was met by Steelers safety Miles Killebrew, who was spiked into the ground by Chubb.
The Steelers drafted Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and have leaned heavily on the rookie. He eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards for the year early in Monday night's game against the Browns and he has nine touchdowns this season.
Chubb's also had a huge season and entered Monday with 1,143 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.
