In 1st start, Steelers' James Conner breaks through as Le'Veon Bell's replacement

CLEVELAND -- James Conner gave Le'Veon Bell something to watch in Cleveland.

And watch, Bell did, though the monocle-wearing emoji he tweeted didn't shed clarification on what specifically he may have been referencing.

On a day the Steelers struggled through miserable weather with six turnovers, Conner came through with a game-breaking performance his team wanted to see, with 192 total yards and two touchdowns in a 21-21 overtime tie against the Cleveland Browns.

That's more yards than Bell -- who remains away from the team with an unsigned franchise tag worth $14.
