Leading up to his return to Pittsburgh after three seasons away, Arizona Cardinals’ running back James Conner felt the love from the Steel City and was looking forward to playing inside Acrisure Stadium again in front of family and friends.
On Sunday, he turned in a season-best performance.
Conner, in front of 20 family and friends, rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, helping power the Cardinals to a 24-10 win over the Steelers on the road.
After the win, Conner was emotional on the field in an interview with CBS sideline reporter Melanie Collins, thanking God.
