Narrative:

Upon landing; after applying brakes the aircraft swerved to the left. I countered with full right pedal; pressed the steering disengage button and used full reverse thrust to stop the aircraft. In spite of my actions the aircraft continued left; stopping on the far left side of the runway. We called ground and asked for a visual inspection; and I also called maintenance. Crash fire rescue equipment arrived; performed visual and thermal imaging inspections; and informed us via radio the aircraft was fine. I made a public address to reassure the passengers. We taxied to the gate uneventfully and deplaned normally. Maintenance met us at the gate. I recorded the event in the aml.I believe either the brakes or nose wheel steering malfunctioned; causing the swerve. Brake system and nose wheel steering system should be examined.
