The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t look like themselves on Sunday due to some shaky quarterback play, but they were able to eke out a 17-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons in their second preseason game, thanks in large part to ex-Pitt running back James Conner.
In an impressive debut, Conner, who missed the Steelers’ matchup with the New York Giants last week, racked up a total of 101 yards, including 98 rushing yards on 20 attempts and three yards on one catch. He didn’t find the end zone, but he was instrumental in the drive that ultimately put the Steelers on top, breaking off 17- and 19-yard runs.
