Le'Veon Bell Breaks Steelers' Single-Season Record for Scrimmage Yards

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell broke the franchise single-season record for scrimmage yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons, per the team's official Twitter account.

After becoming just the second player ever with three consecutive performances of 200 or more scrimmage yards, Bell had a relatively modest day by his own lofty standards, finishing with just 119 yards to bring the impressive streak to an end.

He still concluded the afternoon with 2,043 scrimmage yards through 14 games this season, surpassing the franchise record of 2,034, set by Barry Foster in 1992.

A second-round pick out of Michigan State in the 2013 draft, Bell was solid but unspectacular as a rookie, piling up 860 rushing yards and 399 receiving yards in 13 games, with modest averages of 3.5 yards per carry and 8.9 yards per reception.

After dropping a few pounds in the offseason, Bell looked like a whole new player during the preseason, with his power complemented by a new arsenal of impressive jukes.

Playing at approximately 230 pounds, Bell looks the part of a traditional power back, yet he plays more like Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, who is also known for his devastating jukes and excellent receiving skills.

With two weeks remaining in the 2014 regular season, Bell has a shot to climb near the top of the all-time single-season scrimmage yards list, which is headed by Chris Johnson (2,509 in 2009) and Marshall Faulk (2,429 in 1999).
