6 stats that speak to Le’Veon Bell’s 2019 struggles

The Jets didn’t use Bell properly in 2019, and he finished with some of his worst numbers since his rookie season in 2013.

Only four touchdowns in 2019

Bell came to the Jets with 42 career touchdowns – 35 rushing and seven receiving – but only mustered four total scores this past season (three rushing and one receiving). His three rushing touchdowns matched his season-low set in 2015 – the same season he only played six games. Bell averaged 7.25 rushing touchdowns and 9.75 total touchdowns every other year in Pittsburgh.

Nine quarterbacks scored more rushing touchdowns than Bell in 2019, and backups like Malcolm Brown, Chase Edmonds, Qadree Ollison, Jeff Wilson and Boston Scott also scored more than Bell did.
