Bell amassed 235 yards from scrimmage (185 rushing yards and 50 receiving) and recorded 3 touchdowns during Sunday’s 42-21 victory over the Bengals. Bell also joined Walter Payton as the only other player in NFL history to record at least 200 scrimmage yards in three straight games.

The last time a Steelers RB was named AFC offensive player of the week was Rashard Mendenhall in 2011.
