Colin Dunlap: Can The Steelers Win With A Gimpy Le’Veon?

[Lady Steel]

It happened at 10:34 p.m. on Sunday night.

A stadium fell silent.

A fan base held their collective breath.

Steeler Nation starting saying novenas.

Le’Veon Bell was down on that Heinz Field grass and he wasn’t popping right back up.

Le’Veon Bell was down on the Heinz Field grass and he was clutching his right knee.

Le’Veon Bell might very well have been lying there as the Steelers season — in many respects — was over.

And it still might be over. Who knows? Who knows if he will really play again this season? Who knows if the Steelers’ chances are dashed for good?

Yes.

Still can't stand Dunlap.

I think Bell will play, albeit in a very limited role. Even if he doesn't, Ben can beat the Rats via air. Maybe even break out the hurry-up and wear out those pass rushers.

James Harrison was negated much of the night up against Whitworth, but that won't be happening against Baltimore, whose offense line has been struggling. I expect the defense to get to Flacco early and I believe that will offset the loss of Bell.
