Steelers want James Conner show to keep rolling

CINCINNATI -- Ben Roethlisberger spoke in jest, but with a hint of truth over James Conner's 111-yard, two-touchdown rushing performance Sunday.

“What a great game, but I know it’s his last game for us, because Le’Veon’s coming back,” Roethlisberger said after the Pittsburgh Steelers' thrilling 28-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Roethlisberger used sarcasm to emphasize a point he made earlier in the week – that Conner should be involved in the offense with or without Le’Veon Bell, who has made plans to report during the Week 7-8 timeframe.
