Varied Usage Letting Steelers Extend Le’Veon Bell’s Playing Time

Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not have the advantage of having their usual backup running back, DeAngelo Williams at their disposal. And yet the offense still ran a very high number of plays. The offense’s solution? Leave their fourth-year running back, Le’Veon Bell, on the field. In the Steelers’ 76 offensive snaps, Bell played 75 of them.

He came off the field just one time throughout the whole game, in the middle of the fourth quarter, for which Fitzgerald Toussaint spelled him on a passing play that was completed for seven yards.
