"Roethlisberger loved James Conner’s game.Roethlisberger said Conner (192 total yards, two touchdowns) was “great” and “spectacular.” He also signed off on his post-TD celebrations.
“You know, it’s funny because that’s one thing that I wanted to tell him the night before the game was, ‘Hey, listen, endear yourself to [the offensive line]. If you get a first down, don’t get up and do a celebration. Go pat one of the guys on the helmet. If you score a touchdown, don’t do a dance or do something crazy. Go jump in the lineman’s arms and have fun,” Roethlisberger said.
“And Conner was like, ‘Ben, I was already planning on it.’ So it was great that he was already in that frame of mind.’ It was genuine. He turned and ran and gave those guys hugs, and they loved it.”"
