Le’Veon Bell Led League In Yards After Contact

In spite of the fact that he played remarkably well, the fact that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell was limited to just six games last season seems to have mostly made him an afterthought when speaking globally, and league-wide, about the 2015 season.

The most remarkable fact about his 2015 performance in my estimation, however, is the fact that, for the bulk of the time in which he played, he was by necessity the focal point of the offense’s game plan, and largely carried the team through that six-game stretch from Week Three to Week Eight in which they were without Ben Roethlisberger for a single complete game.
