James Harrison Video: Watch Steelers LB Obliterate Colt McCoy

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has a reputation for being a headhunter. 

That reputation is not going anywhere anytime soon. Not after what Harrison did to Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy on Thursday night.

In case you missed it, Harrison laid a late hit on McCoy in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's 14-3 win. To make matters worse, it was a helmet-to-helmet hit, and McCoy wasn't able to get up right away after Harrison delivered it.

After watching and re-watching the above video clip, I don't think there's any arguing that Harrison knew exactly what he was doing.

I say this for two reasons. The first and foremost is that Harrison could have pulled up and avoided hitting McCoy altogether. Instead, he put his head down and put his back into it. We've seen Harrison launch himself at players before, and he definitely launched himself at McCoy.

Make no mistake about it, this was a dirty hit. In fact, it was exactly the kind of hit we've come to associate with Harrison in recent seasons.

On the bright side, McCoy was no worse for wear after the hit. He was eventually able to get up and was able to continue in the Browns next offensive series. I take that to mean he didn't suffer a concussion, and that makes McCoy a lucky man.

He may not have injured McCoy, but Harrison can expect to get a call from Roger Goodell for this hit. After they're done talking, Harrison is going to have to write the league a nice check.

He should be used to that by now.
