New York Jets vs Pittsburgh Steelers: Five Players to Watch

– Le’Veon Bell

In the Steelers’ blowout win against the Chiefs, they saw the return of running back Le’Veon Bell. In the first three games, Bell was suspended, but he wasted little time getting back involved in the offense.

Against the Chiefs, Bell totaled 144 rushing yards, five receptions, and 34 receiving yards. Bell is considered by many as the best overall back in football, and it was hard to argue with that after his performance against the Chiefs. The ease that the Steelers had against a talented Chiefs’ defense was rather startling.

The addition of Bell has really completed the Steelers’ offense, as he can be utilized in multiple positions in the offense. Due to DeAngelo Williams still be a very productive running back, Bell will line up as a wide receiver in addition to a running back on Sunday.

Defending Bell will be a challenging task for the Jets, who will likely use multiple defenders to try and stop him. Darron Lee will likely be used a good amount of the time to try and defend Bell with his speed as a linebacker. Stopping Bell will be a team effort for the Jets, unfortunately, he might not even be the best skill position player that the Steelers have.
