    Sunday's match up against Atlanta will be the BEST team rushing defense we face the rest of the season at 21st (122.9 ypg). KC has the 31st ranked rush D (136.8 ypg) and Cincy is 27th (130.3 ypc). Le'Veon has 1,231 yards rushing and 693 receiving for a total of 1,924 and 8 total TD's (5 rushing). I can totally see him gaining more than 100 rushing and 50 receiving in each of the remaining games. It sounds crazy, but 2,500 total yards isn't out of reach with all of our remaining games being meaningful. Look for Bell to have the ball quite a bit the rest of the season an (hopefully) into the playoffs.

    Grammar police, maybe not, but an honest mistake. Sort of like saying "I" in a meme instead of "we", but I did lol at it.

    I believe Bell has a chance to break Walter Payton's 3 games in a row with 200 total yards.

    Is that correct?

    That's some pretty elite class right there.

    I won't disagree with you, but I will say this: Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 6 touchdowns. Single game/single season stats rarely put one into elite class status. Do it for an extended period of time. Of course, that's my argument for the Bus making the HOF, he did it over a long time, though never with the brilliant stats flashes others have had. If Bell does get 200 + yards from scrimmage for the 4th straight game, awesome. I just hope he can do it next year, and then the next year, and then the next year.

    Agreed on the relative meaninglessness of short term stats - but along with Bell, consider this: If Ben finishes off the season with 3 317 yd games (def not out of the question considering this defense), he hits 5000 yds. Meaningless or not, that's pretty impressive.
