Colts' Zaire Franklin shoots Steelers' Najee Harris after Week 4 game: 'Kid is soft'

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin had a parting shot for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris after the Week 4 game on Sunday afternoon.

Franklin had nine tackles and Harris was limited to 19 rushing yards as Indianapolis secured the 27-24 victory. Franklin appeared to have a problem with Harris holding up two middle fingers as he walked out of the tunnel onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium before the game.

The veteran defender then fired off a shot on social media.

“Kid is soft. 84 runs harder,” Franklin wrote on X, referring to Cordarrelle Patterson, who ran for 43 yards on six carries.

When former NFL player Darius Butler responded with crying and laughing emojis, Franklin added, “When I lie, I fly.”
