It took four seasons for Le’Veon Bell to make his postseason debut. It took fewer than three quarters for him to break a 42-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers franchise record.
Le’Veon Bell broke Franco Harris’ 42-year Steelers record in his 1st playoff game
No Pittsburgh player has ever rushed for more yards in a postseason game than Bell.

Bell broke Franco Harris’s single-game playoff rushing mark by running for an 8-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. The run gave him 165 yards on the day — more than the 158 Harris had gained in a Super Bowl win in 1975. He finished with 167 yards.
Bell, a two-time All-Pro, had missed the team’s previous three playoff games due to injury. He put a stamp on his big performance early in the game, tearing through the Miami Dolphins secondary like tissue paper on a 26-yard run that helped the Steelers take a dominating lead over their AFC foes.
