Impressive 64-yard punt return touchdown by RB Trey Williams - burst through middle, cut left and carried the punter into the end zone. Williams doesn't have an inside track on the 53-man roster, but he's got open-field wiggle and showed it in camp.

After limited but promising camp work, the Steelers were eager to see James Conner in game action. So far, Conner (five carries for 13 yards) looks athletic enough but dropped a pass for an easy first down and is eager to bounce outside, resulting in a few short gains. He has power and should use it.
