Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell proves prescient with 179 yards in win

PITTSBURGH -- Le'Veon Bell had no problem backing up his theory from early last week that running the ball is a "formula for winning."

Bell put the Pittsburgh Steelers -- and Kansas City Chiefs defenders -- on his back for 179 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries in Sunday's 19-13 victory over the league's last undefeated team.

Bell said he knew he was getting the ball early and often after last week's 15 carries on 47 yards in a loss to Jacksonville left him wanting more.

"Controlling the pace of the game, controlling the run and getting it early opened us up for quick passes, it just makes the job easier for everyone else," Bell said.
