Le'Veon Bell Bowled 251 With the Flu Before Missing Game vs. Dolphins

Jets star Le'Veon Bell doesn't let the flu slow him down.

Despite missing last Thursday and Friday's practices due to illness, Bell went bowling with his friends and family in New Jersey on Saturday night. He told reporters on Tuesday that doctors cleared him to leave his house and he ended up bowling the best score of his life during the outing.

"I rolled 251 off the flu. That's the bigger surprise," he said.

Bell missed New York's 22–21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Coach Adam Gase told reporters that the Jets kept Bell from coming to the team hotel on Saturday night because he was contagious.
