James Conner and Tyler Boyd face off in AFC North battle

Former Pitt stars James Conner and Tyler Boyd faced off on Sunday in an AFC North matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, and they played key roles on their respective offenses in a game that came down to the last minute.

Boyd opened up the scoring for the Bengals late in the first quarter, reeling in a dart from quarterback Andy Dalton and tiptoeing into the end zone for a touchdown. However, Conner responded in kind in the second quarter, punctuating two drives with one-yard rushes over the goal line to give the Steelers a 14-7 advantage.
