When Le’Veon Bell decided against joining the Pittsburgh Steelers for the start of 2018, many predicted the offense would suffer. Because nobody can do what Bell does on the ground or through the air, what will the Steelers do? Well, they’ll give the ball to James Conner and watch him exceed all expectations.

While nobody was expecting the amount of success that Conner’s having, it really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Why? Because nobody has worked harder to get to past what he’s been through just to get to where he’s at. For sure, nobody appreciates the opportunity to be the Steelers feature back more than Conner.

Conner is someone who truly enjoys and appreciates life off the field. However, when he’s on it, he is all business. The transformation of his body is proof of how serious he is. Conner was a one-dimensional power back at the University of Pittsburgh who weighed around 240 lbs. Since arriving in 2017, he’s transformed his body to become a valuable multi-purpose back that can do it all.

Sky is the limit for this kid. He might not be the most physically gifted, but he definitely has that "IT" factor. Just the heart and the mindset of a champion, I really am not surprised with his production hearing how hard he's been working in the offseason.

And I do not think that Bell's absence is the reason why Antonio Brown's numbers are down.Bell missed 10 games in 2015 and Brown had a historic season with over 1,800 yards

This year he is in pace for 1,200 yards and 16 TD, about the same numbers as his 2016 season.Also, Brown and Ben starts to be on the same page in the last 2 games ....And overall our offense was solid for most of the time(over 28 PPG, despite this offense having the worst starting field position in the NFL) except for the second half against Baltimore and against the Browns when Ben was a turnovers machine ......

Reminds me of our Rocky, not Stallone's.
