The Steelers' second-year running back is beginning to make his case.
Bell is second in the league in rushing yards (1,231) and yards from scrimmage (1,924). He's second among running backs in receptions (71) and yards (693) and is ascending on the franchise single-season record book for running backs in all of the above categories.
“Me and (tight ends) Heath (Miller) and (Matt) Spaeth happened to be watching some film,” offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum said Monday, “and Spaeth was like, ‘Man, this is a special running back.'
“He really is a special back, a special individual both in the run and the pass game. Blocking for him, we know if we just give him a little crease, he will take it the distance.” ..............

• Coach Mike Tomlin gave the Steelers off Monday — but several players were seen at the facility anyway.
A team spokesman estimated “roughly 50” showed up to work out or study film.
“I was gonna come today, no matter what,” offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum said. “My wife asked me this morning, ‘You going in today?' I said ‘You know it.'
“There's no days off in the NFL, and in the stretch we're in right now where we have a great opportunity in front of us, there's no time to take a day off and relish what happened (in a win at Cincinnnati on Sunday) — you have to go back to work.”
