*James Conner – Noteworthy
RB James Conner had his third 100-yard, two-touchdown game. Since 1970, only five NFL players have rushed for at least 100 yards and two touchdowns in three of their team’s first six games of the season: Conner (2018), Chris Johnson (2010), Shaun Alexander (2005), Priest Holmes (2004) and Emmitt Smith (1995).
*JuJu Smith-Schuster – Noteworthy
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven passes for 111 yards on Sunday. The second-year pro leads the Steelers with 42 receptions for 561 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Antonio Brown – Noteworthy
WR Antonio Brown’s 31-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown with 10 seconds left sent Pittsburgh to a 28-21 victory Sunday. Brown finished five catches for 105-yards and the one touchdown.
Ben Roethlisberger – Noteworthy
QB Ben Roethlisberger is now 14-2 in his career at Paul Brown Stadium. He was 32-of-46 for 369 yards and a touchdown, good for a 100.7 quarterback rating on Sunday vs. the Bengals.
Le’Veon Bell – Noteworthy
RB Le’Veon Bell is not expected to report to the Steelers this week, as previously reported. Bell has yet to sign his $14.5 million franchise tag with the Steelers. He finished last season with 1,291 rushing yards and 85 receptions for 655 yards. Bell was also named All-Pro for the second time.
