Le'Veon Bell sets Pittsburgh Steelers playoff rushing record
You heard it here first – Le’Veon Bell is good.
OK fine, you’ve probably heard it before, but, today’s playoff game against the Miami Dolphins was just affirmation of the belief. The Pittsburgh Steelers have an incredibly historic franchise in the NFL, but never before has a Steelers running back ran for as many yards in a postseason game as Bell did today.
The No. 3-seeded Steelers hosted the No. 6-seeded Dolphins and controlled the game from the opening possession, winning, 30-12. Bell was a big part of the success, as the former Michigan State Spartan ran for 167 yards.

And remember, folks. He was just a two-star prospect coming out of high school.
Important reminder this time of year: Le'Veon Bell was a 2-star recruit in high school. He was also widely criticized for leaving MSU early.
