James Conner has missed several games this season and is finally back Sunday night as his Pittsburgh Steelers face the Buffalo Bills. He had a slow first half, but started the third quarter with a touchdown reception to give his team a 10-7 lead over Buffalo.

Conner had a 17-yard run before the touchdown to get the Steelers close to the end zone. With Devlin Hodges at quarterback and Juju Smith-Schuster out again, Conner has to play a huge role for the offense to succeed.

His touchdown catch showed why it is so important for him to be back in the mix in Pittsburgh, as the team looks to remain in the playoff hunt.
