1. Bell, Bell and More Bell
The Chiefs entered Sunday’s game with a 5-0 mark, but still with the league’s 20th-ranked run defense, and the black and gold made them pay, as Le’Veon Bell got going early, and often, with 11 first quarter carries.
No, he didn’t rush 44 times, but he did run 32, and end the day with 179 yards and a score as the Steelers pounded the Chiefs defensive line as their O-line had their best game of the season, by far.
After a loss last week in which their QB had to throw over 50 times, Sunday Ben Roethlisberger was 17 of 25 for 252 yards, which included the big play in the crazy final quarter to Antonio Brown.
Back to Bell, the wins over the Vikings, Ravens and now Chiefs have all had one thing in common – a lot of Bell, a little of everyone else.
Sunday it was that formula again – and yet again it worked.

One comment on the Ian Rappaport of NFL Network , reporting that Martavis Bryant has requested a trade . If this is true , this guy is so delusional its beyond comprehension . He is literally one failed drug test from being out of the league PERMANENTLY and the Steelers took you back with open arms and you have the audacity to ask for a trade because you dont like how youre being used ? Really ? I said at the time of the suspension , this guy just doesnt get it . Hes clueless . You have the potential to be one of the best receivers in football but you have the mentality of a four year old . If Im the Steelers , I tell him , trade denied . Youre a Steeler and bottom line you will honor your contract . Get used to it .
