Big Ben: Off-Field ‘Distraction’ A Bigger Issue Than On Field For Bell’s Absence

2018 was supposed to be the year of the Killer Bs for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Expected to be the last season with the core group of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown, and running back Le’Veon Bell all together, they never got a chance to take the field as Bell chose not to report after he and the team failed to reach a deal for a long-term contract.

Bell has been the most prolific player in NFL history up to this point in his career based on the amount of yards per game that he has accumulated through five seasons.
