Steelers running back Najee Harris could not keep quiet after the team's 31-17 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, stressing that the team needs tobemore disciplined according to Noah Strackbein of Sports Illustrated All Steelers.

"I've been here three years, obviously. I have my opinions on things, but I'm just a player. But if you want to elevate and get to where we're at, there's got to be some in-house things that need to change," Harris said.  "Coach [Mike Tomlin] always tells me just play running back. That's a little inside thing that we have, too. But if you want to elevate where we are and achieve those goals that we want, we have to change some in-house stuff. Like I said, that's not my place, that's not anything that I can control or do anything about that."

Harris clarified that he was not talking about the coaches but rather what takes place inside the building at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. "In-house rules. Not no changes or coaches or anything like that. Just the rules that are in the building," Harris said. "We've got to be more disciplined. We've got to be more committed. I'm not saying that we're not, but coming from a place that has structure and coming and just seeing, we could probably get help in these areas; make a change. I think that's something that could help. I'm not saying anything about coaches or anything like that; I'm saying in-house rules." 

Harris is not wrong.  The Steelers are 0-4 in the playoffs since 2017, allowing 41.5 points per game with a -49 point differential and a -8 turnover differential in the four games, all NFL-worsts since 2017.  Somethingneds to change in Pittsburgh.
