Chris Boswell hilariously reflects on his time with Killer B’s

Chris Boswell reflects on his time with the “Killer B’s,” recalling the excitement of playing alongside Roethlisberger, Brown, and Bell.

Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le’Veon Bell, commonly referred to as the “Killer B’s,” were one of the scariest QB-RB-WR trios in NFL history. However, one additional “B” from that era is still with the team today: none other than K Chris Boswell.

Boswell’s play is elite in its own right, but the kicker was asked about the experience of playing alongside these three offensive titans during his early years with the team. On LS Christian Kuntz podcast, Boswell hilariously recalled how he always had to stay warmed up because the offense could score on any given play:

“They could just score at the snap of a finger—a blink of an eye. There’s AB [Antonio Brown] taking a slant for 80. Martavis Bryant is 6’6″ and runs a 4.3 just straight down the field.”

Boswell wrapped up his praise for his former teammates by offering one of the greatest compliments anyone could give:

“It’s the most fun I’ve ever had playing.”

 

Fans who witnessed the mid-2010s Steelers understood that this offense was one of the NFL’s best. Many would agree with Boswell that it was one of the most enjoyable eras to be a Steelers fan.

Antonio Brown arrives in Pittsburgh for Week 7, Le’Veon Bell is next

Announcing last week his plans to return for Week 7’s game, Antonio Brown has touched down in Pittsburgh on Friday, will Bell coming soon.

Last week, former Steelers All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown made headlines as he announced his return to Pittsburgh for Week 7. Speculation ran rampant, but it was later revealed that he and former Steelers teammate, All-Pro RB Le’Veon Bell, would attend Pittsburgh’s Week 7 contest against the New York Jets.

The pair were also present at the game and the Terrible Tailgate in Las Vegas when the Steelers traveled to take on the Raiders in Week 6.

On Friday, AB confirmed his arrival in the ‘Steel City’ on social media, with Bell replying that he too would be next.

The nostalgia and memories the ‘Killer B’s’ created are enough to make any grown Steelers fan emotional, but excitement is in the air as two of the greatest NFL playmakers from the past decade return to root for the team they love. While polarizing, to say the least, it is heartwarming to see the two formerly disgruntled players put aside their differences with the team to return to Pittsburgh.

Former All-Pro Steelers RB upset with the Steelers lack of playmakers

Former Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell speaks out on why Pittsburgh has struggled for two consecutive weeks and blames the lack of playmakers.

After starting off the season 3-0, the Steelers have faced rainy days and dark clouds looming over them for two consecutive weeks.

While fans, players, coaches, and even analysts play the blame game as to why their season has taken such a drastic turn, a familiar face from Pittsburgh’s past seems to have his own opinion on why the Steelers have lost two straight.

Three-time All-Pro, three-time Pro Bowler, and former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell believes that the ‘Steel City’ needs one more playmaker.

This analysis from the once-great running back is right on the money, but it leaves more questions than answers. How do the Steelers add this playmaker to the roster—free agency, a trade, or perhaps the two-time healthy inactive Roman Wilson?

Bell was a pivotal member of one of the most terrifying offensive trios in NFL history, ‘the Killer B’s’. He is bound to know a thing or two about what it takes to elevate an offense and create opportunities for success.
