It was The Week of the Running Back if you ask me.

Pittsburgh's James Conner was one of eight RBs with 95 rushing yards or more this week -- seven topped the century mark -- and this former Pitt star had 24 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-18 drubbing of the Cleveland Browns. He also added five catches for 66 yards, helping collectors and fans really wonder what might happen when (if?) Le'Veon Bell walks through that door. Conner's Rookie Cards and debut ink from last season look even more appealing, though the whole Bell thing does hold back potential a bit (for now). There's some risk picking up his cardboard but there could be rewards if you're selective and he locks in as the Steelers' future guy and continues to play well.

Broken-record play equals another broken NFL record.

Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes II did it again and put up another scorcher on Sunday night as his Chiefs demolished the Bengals 45-10. Mahomes set a new record with 22 touchdowns in his first eight games as he completed 28 of 39 passes for 358 yards and four touchdowns.

As for his cardboard, his Rookie Cards and autos from last season will continue to be in demand as he's on a serious MVP push with a team that's looking dominating -- a new face that the NFL might need right now.

Have you seen the latest cool or interesting items on eBay? If not, you just might see some of those here every week as we're launching a weekly version of our eBay Buzz pieces that pop up from time to time. We’ll spotlight some items that have a story or just wow us with how much interest it might have — and we’re not just talking baseball cards, either.

--

A LITTLE EXTRA
The Item: Johnny Damon 2018 Topps Five Star patch auto (/25)
The Price: $179.95 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This brand is loaded with impressive cardboard and some crazy patches but this one comes with a little extra included -- as you can see that's a PSA/DNA authentication sticker for the jersey where this patch came from. That notes that this jersey was signed with a game-used 2011 inscription -- something you'll know from just this swatch but not any of the other 24 that exist. A simple and fun item. There are some nice cards coming out of these boxes -- check out the link below -- and get your box at the link below that.
