The Steelers have a decision to make when it comes to James Conner’s future with the team. Here’ why Pittsburgh shouldn’t even consider re-signing him.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have started the season 3-0 for the first time since 2010. Winning their next game against the Tennessee Titans would give them the best record they’ve posted in the first four weeks since 1979 when they began the year 4-0.
The defense has played some fantastic football over this stretch. Led by T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh is currently 2nd in yards allowed, 3rd in yards per play surrendered, and 5th in points per game.
