Steelers' Brown out, Conner in for must-win game vs. Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense won't be at full strength for Sunday's crucial regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, as star receiver Antonio Brown won't play due to a knee injury, the team announced.

However, running back James Conner is active after being questionable with an ankle injury, which sidelined him for the past three games.

Brown finishes the regular season with 104 receptions, giving him his sixth straight campaign with more than 100 catches.

The Steelers can only make the playoffs if they beat the Bengals and the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens either lose or tie against the Cleveland Browns.
