PITTSBURGH -- The fans inside Heinz Field weren't the only ones chanting James Conner's name during Sunday's 212-yard performance against the Cleveland Browns.
Apparently Ben Roethlisberger's son was, too.
"I texted (Conner) and I told him, 'James, it must have been pretty cool to have (Heinz Field) chanting 'Con-ner but you want to know something that’s even cooler -- when I come home and play catch with my son and every time he catches it he’s you,'" Roethlisberger recalled on his weekly radio show Tuesday. "I said, 'Thanks for being a good role model and please don’t ever stop understanding that everything you do you have a chance to be an amazing role model.
