Scores three times in win Conner carried the ball 21 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns and caught all five of his targets for 77 yards and another TD in Sunday's 34-17 win over the 49ers. Impact Chase Edmonds, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury in recent weeks, tweaked his ankle early in Sunday's contest and didn't return, leaving the backfield mostly in Conner's hands. The former Steeler then showed what he can do as a No. 1 RB, finding the end zone twice in the first quarter on red-zone runs before taking a screen pass 45 yards for his third score of the day early in the third quarter. His 173 scrimmage yards were by far a season high -- in fact, they more than doubled his prior best effort in an Arizona uniform -- and depending on how healthy Edmonds is, Conner could see a big workload again in Week 10 against the Panthers.
