Steelers offense still great, but loses dimension wtihout Le'Veon Bell

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers offense, as good as it is, can't help but feel the sting of the loss of Le'Veon Bell, who according to ESPN's Dan Graziano faces a four-game suspension for missing at least one NFL drug test.

There is no question Pittsburgh is better with Bell. But the fact the fourth-year tailback could miss a second consecutive season opener because of drug-policy issues says he can't be trusted as a franchise pillar, and it undermines the things the Steelers are trying to do on the field.
