Loss of Le'Veon Bell painful, but Steelers can survive it

Le'Veon Bell can't be replaced. No one's expecting that. But the Pittsburgh Steelers offense can thrive without Bell, who suffered an MCL injury that likely ends his season.

Bell was so fun to watch, and that will be missed: Bell was on a serious tear before the injury. He was a top-five rusher despite missing two games to suspension. His open-field cuts were vicious. His patient, deliberate style was unique and effective. Bell would see a hole and wait for another hole because he was misdirecting the safety. Few, if any, backs can do that like him.
