Le’Veon Bell took the ball for a 5-yard run on the Jets’ first offensive play. And there it was, the NFL record, fastest to 8,000 yards from scrimmage, in just 63 games.
The three-time Pro Bowl running back had needed four yards. He had been waiting more than a year and half. Bell hadn’t played since January 14, 2018, a postseason game with the Steelers. He didn’t play last season because of his contract dispute with Pittsburgh or in any of last month’s preseason games with the Jets after signing a four-year, $52.
