It still strikes me whenever I read significant criticism about James Conner as a player, rather than simply about his health, because almost every time he is on the field, he shows himself to be one of the best players on it. Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns was no different, and in fact it may have been his best of the season, even with a couple of 100-yard games already.
Conner had 59 yards on the ground on 11 carries in the first half, and he also scored on the ground again, his fourth rushing touchdown in as many games.
