With no Le’Veon Bell, James Conner earned his first career start Sunday. He didn’t disappoint, totaling nearly 200 total yards and finding the end zone twice, the key source of offense on a rainy, sloppy day.
Bell was apparently watching the game. He also reportedly spoke with former Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew afterwards. Although Bell hasn’t talked publicly, he wanted to set the record straight and clear up some misconceptions, in his mind, fans have about him.
Although he’s not currently a Steeler, he’s still rooting for the team. Jones-Drew shared part of the conversation the two shared on the Dave Dameshek podcast.
