Recent Run Of Backup RBs During Playoffs Adds To Appreciation Of Le’Veon Bell

On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers played their first postseason game with their starting running back in five games, dating all the way back to Super Bowl XLV at the end of the 2010 season. third-year running back Rashard Mendenhall was the Steelers’ workhorse at the time, though he rushed for just 63 yards on 14 attempts in that game.

Against the Dolphins, the Steelers actually had the luxury of having Le’Veon Bell healthy. He had not been for the team’s three previous playoff games over the course of the past two years; in fact, it marked his postseason debut.
