Conner was lighting up the stat sheet at the time, reaching 100 rushing yards with two touchdowns.
Including those two scores, Conner now has seven through his first six games. That's only slightly behind the nine rushing touchdowns Bell had in 2017.
Bell is expected to return to the Steelers during their bye next week, perย Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, which may make this the last game Conner has the backfield all to himself. But considering how well he's played in Bell's absence, he likely isn't going away completely.
