Why Le’Veon Bell’s long-awaited Jets breakout is coming

There have been plenty of things that have turned around for the Jets during the last three weeks, but there is one more thing they need to do to truly feel better about this season — get Le’Veon Bell going.

The first-year Jets running back was more involved early last week against the Raiders. Jets coach Adam Gase lined Bell up in the slot on the first play and Sam Darnold hit him for a 23-yard gain. He had 11 touches in the Jets’ first 18 plays. Still … the production was not there. He ended the game with 49 rushing yards and 59 receiving yards.
