Former Steelers star James Harrison appeared to accuse Burrow of letting Garrett break the sack record because of\u2026his dislike for the Steelers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cHe didn\u2019t even try and run,\u201d Harrison said on an episode of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y6buy5UsPr4\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deebo &amp; Joe podcast<\/a>. \u201cHe didn\u2019t go out of his way?
