The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to put the Baltimore Ravens in an 0-4 hole on Thursday Night Football, and running back Le’Veon Bell is doing his part. Bell, a Pro Bowler from last year was able to produce one of the better touchdowns of the young 2015 National Football League season.
Considering the field is 53.33 yards wide, Bell ran for about 50 yards before being able to punch in the 11-yard touchdown run. Pittsburgh took the lead 10-7 on the scamper and added a field goal before halftime to put the Ravens in a 13-7 deficit. Bell has enjoyed a productive game thus far, carrying nine times for 50 yards and the touchdown.

Baltimore has endured all kinds of struggles on defense throughout the season, and those issues are once again cropping up. Despite not having starting All-Pro starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger due to a sprained MCL and bone bruise, the Steelers have moved through the air with ease. Backup quarterback Michael Vick has completed 11-of-13 for 75 yards without an interception, hitting Antonio Brown four times for 25 yards.
Meanwhile, the Ravens continue to have all kinds of fits on offense. Joe Flacco has thrown for just 55 yards and an interception, halting a promising drive. On the positive side, the rushing game has been good with 15 carries netting 67 yards.
