An emphatic victory on Saturday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers left a strong impression following their 27-15 victory vs. the Buffalo Bills.
But like every football game, there are obvious areas of improvement for Pittsburgh.
So with that in mind, here are three Steelers experiencing a fall in their stock after Saturday night:
Najee Harris
Harris didn't play much on Saturday, logging only two carries for six yards. Looking like a replica of his first two seasons, they were both inside zone plays that went for a minimum gain. So when backup Jaylen Warren entered the game and did this, it wasn't the best look for the former first-round pick:
Harris has been vocal this offseason about the state of the running back market and how he believes they are being unfairly compensated.

Hopefully, this was just a case of bad timing, and Harris is on his way to his third consecutive 1000-yard rushing season, and getting closer to the contract he deserves. But every time plays like these occur, that's just more leverage for Pittsburgh during negotiations.
Broderick Jones
After coming into his own over the last week, Jones fell back down to Earth tonight. Much to do with the stellar play of incumbent starter Dan Moore, but also thanks to some struggles of his own:

Kendrick Green
After another preseason game and another bobbled exchange, the fullback, center hybrid that is Green has struggled at his day job this summer, leaving the Steelers worried about their situation at center should Mason Cole go down with an injury. Hopefully Green can end the preseason with a strong performance in Atlanta on Thursday,
