Steelers Le’Veon Bell isn’t sweating “bad” play call vs. Ravens
- 9 years ago
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell is one of the best running backs in the NFL.
This made the fact the he didn’t receive a touch on either of Pittsburgh’s fourth-and-short plays in an overtime loss to Baltimore all the stranger.
“I can’t say I need the ball every time,” Bell said when asked about the play call.
On the first call, Mike Vick called his own number and pulled an unsuccessful quarterback sweet to the left where he was met by a wall of Ravens. The second time, Vick missed a wide open Antonio Brown.
“We just have to execute a little bit,” Bell said.
Many have compared Pittsburgh’s failure to give Bell the ball during this critical juncture to Seattle’s refusal to give All-Pro RB Marshawn Lynch a carry from the Patriots’ one-yard line in the Super Bowl.
