Najee Harris was clearly as confused as the rest of us by the latest soundbite from his quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.
On Wednesday, Roethlisberger basically admitted to local media that his team has no chance of beating the Chiefs in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs this weekend.

Najee Harris Calls Out Big Ben
âWe probably arenât supposed to be here,â Roethlisberger said. âWe probably are not a very good football team. Out of 14 teams that are in, weâre probably at number 14. Weâre double-digit underdogs in the playoffs. So letâs just go plan and have fun and see what happens.
ââŠWeâre probably 20-point underdogs and weâre going to No. 1 team⊠thatâs won the AFC the last two years. Arguably the best team in football. We donât have a chance so letâs just go in and have fun.â
Najee Harris took to Instagram to react to the quote from Big Ben. He posted the quote with a caption questioning the context of his answer before quickly deleting it.

While Ben Roethlisberger was probably going for some weird gamesmanship thing with his comments, it’s clear that Najee Harris isn’t planning on going to Kansas City just to have a fun time.
Big Ben also admitted that he believes the Steelers are going to be at least 20 point underdogs this weekend. But as of now, Pittsburgh sits at +13.5 for the game.
Needless to say, Ben Roethlisberger is going to have to explain his bizarre comments to Najee Harris during practice tomorrow.
