Conner finished Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown.
Conner played just 29 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps Sunday, but the 2023 fourth-round pick made the most of his playing time. He scooped up a Joe Burrow fumble caused by Tershawn Wharton and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a one-point lead. Conner made another high-impact play late in the fourth frame, when he sacked Burrow for nine yards on third down, which led to a Bengals punt and the eventual game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired. Conner should see plenty of work in pass coverage against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.
