In six games this season – Bell was suspended for the first two – he rushed for 556 yards, caught passes for 136 yards and scored three touchdowns.

The Steelers are feared due to their quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.
For the better part of three months the Pittsburgh Steelers stressed all they needed was a chance.
The Steelers have shown success from the sixth seed in the past when they won Super Bowl XL, but in order to make a run at Super Bowl L guys will have to step up and make their mark on this team.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Cleveland Browns “relieved” general manager Ray Farmer and head coach Mike Pettine of their duties Sunday evening. They are going because the Bills knocked off the Jets in Buffalo, and then the Steelers followed through and beat the Browns.
“We’re just hopeful we get a win”, fan Walter Visage said. “I certainly didn’t and I don’t think anybody in our building did”.
One Pittsburgh-based restaurant is planning to send some food to the Buffalo Bills as thanks.
Our focus as we move forward is on finding strong, smart leaders with high character who are relentlessly driven to improve our football team, willing to look at every resource possible to improve, and who embrace collaboration to ultimately make the best decisions for the Cleveland Browns.
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 349 yards, 187 to the sensational Antonio Brown, who had 13 catches and a TD.
“We want to get the right person”, Haslam said. We need somebody that’s smart.
Pettine went 3-13 this season and 10-22 in two years, dropping 18 of his final 21 games after a promising 7-4 start in 2014.
“I’m not into pleading,”Pettine said”.
DeAngelo Williams could leave the Steelers with a weak backfield in Saturday’s showdown against the rival Bengals. “I feel like we’ve done a lot of good things, but I’m the first one to tell you – you’ve heard me say it a million times – this is a pass/fail league, and the results aren’t there”, he said.
PASSING OFFENSE: C. Josh McCown, Johnny Manziel and Austin Davis all took their turns playing quarterback for the Browns in 2015 and all experienced the same thing.
Though he has just 24 career carries for 54 yards, most of which came this season, Toussaint does have some playoff experience.
All that was left was for the Bills to help out.
But the good people of Pennsylvania were quick to tip their hat to their brothers in Buffalo, who had done themselves a favour.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to the playoffs. “We’re very determined to get that right person”.
Running back DeAngelo Williams was in a walking boot following the Steelers 28-12 victory Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The 29-yard kick was Travis Coons’ fourth field goal of the game. The Browns haven’t been to the playoffs since 2002, and have undergone five changes to their coach and GM since 2008.
“We’ll have to see what happens”, said the nine-time Pro Bowler.

“I was either on the field or on the sideline”.
