Jets’ maddening Le’Veon Bell debacle is getting worse

PHILADELPHIA — Le’Veon Bell might like a mulligan.

Joining the Jets on a four-year, $52.5 million deal with plans of forming a “special duo” with Sam Darnold, the star running back is now wasting a second straight year of his prime, this season as part of the league’s most anemic offense.

After sitting out last season with the Steelers, Bell, 27, has spent the majority of this year playing behind an offensive line made of silk and a quarterback who began the season on the practice squad. Through four winless games, during which the Jets have scored just two offensive touchdowns, the league’s second-highest paid running back has just one score and been limited to 2.
