Get James Conner involved
No one knows why James Conner has left the game plan for Pittsburgh, but if they don’t want to risk another loss they’ll get him involved again. Even with fumbling issues, Conner is having a Pro Bowl season. Keeping him away from the ball hasn’t worked out and that won’t change anytime soon.
Phillip Rivers is the key factor for LA, and Ben Roethlisberger will want to show he’s just as good if not better, but the smart move is to build a ground game. Running the ball opens up the passing game, and if Roethlisberger can be the second option this game will be in Pittsburgh’s hands all afternoon.
It’s time to get Conner back in the game. Let him get out of this funk by running the ball. If he can become a factor again this team is dangerous.
