Terrell Watson Has Successful Cameo As Short-Yardage Back

I don’t know about you, but I found it to be quite an interesting moment in the middle of the second quarter of yesterday’s game for the Pittsburgh Steelers when the coaching staff elected to remove Le’Veon Bell from the game, replacing him with Terrell Watson for the purpose of attempting a run on third and one.

Bell over the course of his career has actually been among the most successful backs in this department in the league, among the highest performers in terms of gaining yards after contact and in gaining positive yardage on plays on which he was hit in the backfield.
