2017 Steelers Week 6 Defensive Play of the Game: In case of emergency, play James Harrison

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

The Kansas City Chiefs found out on Sunday what people in Pittsburgh have known for a long time.

A very long time…

“In case of emergency: play James Harrison.”

The Steelers broke the glass on Sunday, unleashing “Deebo” for the first time in the 2017 season; the franchise’s all-time sacks leader didn’t disappoint either.

Nearing the end of a game separated by only six points, Harrison lined up across from Chiefs QB Alex Smith on 3rd and 10. Kansas City was in dire need for a first down but would find themselves on the opposite end of a Harrison pass rush.

Not only is the feat incredible due to number 92’s age (he turned 39 this offseason) but because the defense only rushed four defenders. Harrison continues to play at a high level and in this instance, essentially end the Chiefs chance at a comeback.
