Plays of the Year: Bell blocks, releases, and extends the play for a touchdown
Steel City Underground presents “Plays of the Year” featuring the tops runs, catches, hits and everything else in-between for the Steelers 2016 season.
Christmas Day 2016 gave us the gift over another classic Pittsburgh Steelers versus Baltimore Ravens battle. This time, the two teams fought over control of the AFC North, with the victor becoming the division champion.
Things weren’t looking great for the Steelers as they trailed the Ravens 20-10 at the start of the fourth quarter, but Le’Veon Bell was determined to change Pittsburgh’s fortune. He did so, first with a seven-yard touchdown run on a five play, 75-yard drive, then helped the Steelers take a 24-20 lead on this incredible improvisational play.
Bell starts off by blocking for Ben Roethlisberger, then releases outside, nearly looking confused but recognizing a broken down play and making himself available for the dump off pass by his quarterback.
Le’Veon makes his magic as tight end Jesse James and the Steelers offensive line jumps in with an assist for the go-ahead touchdown.
