Le’Veon Bell made his first career playoff appearance on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. It took fewer than 19 minutes for the All-Pro tailback to find the end zone.
Le’Veon Bell wouldn’t be denied for 1st playoff touchdown of his career
Bell ran the ball nine straight times to lead the Steelers into the end zone.
The Pittsburgh Steelers turned to Bell on nine straight carries to make up the entirety of their third drive of the game. The result? 83 yards, a 20-3 Pittsburgh lead, and the first postseason touchdown of his career.
The highlight came when Bell sliced through the Miami defense for a 26-yard run originally ruled a touchdown on the field, but later overturned.
Two plays later, Bell crashed into Kiko Alonso at the goal line.
Though he was ruled down shy of the goal line, Mike Tomlin’s challenge led officials to rule the ball had, in fact, breached the plane of the end zone. Chris Boswell’s extra point clanked off the right upright to deny Pittsburgh an extra point, but the Steelers remain firmly in control at Heinz Field.
