    Bell for sure. Not sure why Ben is even listed. That winning TD was an INT throw. We got lucky with the tip and so glad it was AB in the area.

    He might be able to this year-the JETS almost beat the Patriots

    The Jets aren't exactly terrible. They were 3-2 heading into yesterday. Game would of been much more interesting, had the refs called that a touchdwon instead of a touchback through the endzone fumble.

    The Jets and Bucs gave the Patriots all they could handle. Why can't the Steelers do that? Seems like every time Steelers and Patriots play, Tom Brady goes into unstoppable Juggernaut mode and the Steelers D folds like a cheap tent while the offense generates nothing but 3 and outs and punts.

    I think our entire D deserves a gameball. We won as a team but our D stepped up BIG TIME.
    And guess what? We should have run it down their throats all game last week and we lost because we didn't even really try...but whatever that's spilt milk. Great team effort against a great team.

    I voted Deebo out of respect for him "doing what is asked" and delivering. I think he also saved a TD when he stopped Hunt on the goal line. Vince Williams was having quite the game before he got hurt. He was destroying Hunt on the blitz.

    I zoomed in really close on my girlfriend’s super-high-def TV. That was actually DHB in Bell’s uniform.

    I voted Brown, but was split between him and Bell. That game winning circus catch was the difference between winning and losing. We would have lost without either guy playing.

    I loved seeing him out there, and he helped seal the deal, but no way did he contribute more to the W than Bell.

    Without that play all Bell's work goes for nothing.

    To Iowa Jim. I am glad to be wrong . I am a Steeler fan to the core . I didn't think he had it. Bell has proved me wrong and I am glad of it. I went with how I was feeling at the time and after the last few games I was 100 percent wrong . Such is life .Roll with it and man up when you are wrong.

    I was next level wrong about Bell. I judged him on what I had to judge him on. That info was a mirage.I was fooled and am damn glad of it.

    Chicken or the egg?

    Without Bells performance, JH play means nothing.

    Such is the dilemma we face. Do we remember Ben and Tone for the drive or for the throw and the catch.

    Yeah, you'll never be able to drop that one.

    Ironically enough.

    I would like to say Bell/OL but it also like to give credit to AB for the crazy catch to give us the game which should have been a Big Ben int that lost us the game.

    9. R Shazier 0 vote(s) 0.0%
    10. S Tuitt 2 vote(s) 3.3%
    Getting a little bit into analytics:
    - O scored 17 points. Got 83.6% of the votes (3 options).
    - Brown: monster stats, game sealing TD got 6.6%
    - D shut down KC's offense. I gave 7 D players as options. Sum: 16.4%

    What I can read of this (and is what we already knew), as well as past votes:
    Offense is built around playmakers. One week Brown, the next Bell, and once (seems long ago) Martavis.
    Deffense has individualities, but is built around a great unit (and collective) effort.

    What can you read here?

    Yep, it's sometimes harder to pinpoint the biggest contributor on defense.

    I voted for Bell because he kept the offensive drives going and allowed the passing game to open up. That, for me, was what hadn't been clicking in previous games.
