In the build-up to Sunday’s win over his former comrades, New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell insisted that the contest was nothing personal. Nonetheless, Bell had to admit in the aftermath that the showdown meant just a little more.
“Obviously every win feels great but this one had a little extra topping on it,” Bell said with a smile.
The rusher did immediately follow up with the sense of professionalism he’s carried all season.
“It was fun going against my old teammates, guys who never could hit me in practice, we had an opportunity to really go at it today, so it was fun,” he said.
