New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell will take on his former team the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. This will be Bell’s opportunity to show the Steelers what they are missing despite his lackluster season so far. Bell was asked how he thought he’d be received on Sunday and his answer left us scratching out heads.
Bell said he expected the crowd to be about 50-50 between cheers and boos. Does this mean Bell thinks half the crowd at Met Life Stadium will be Steelers fans or does he think despite the game being at home for the Jets, half the crowd will still boo him? Or perhaps he thinks the game is in Pittsburgh.
He also indicated if any Steelers’ fans are there wearing his jersey he will sign it. Do you all think there will be a lot of No. 26 Steelers jerseys in the crowd on Sunday?
If MetLife Stadium is filled with Steeler fans on Sunday, as everybody expects, how does Le’Veon Bell expect to be received?by his former fans? “Fifty-fifty,” he said. “Half will be happy to see me and still love me, and half will hate me, despise me.” #Jets #Steelers pic.twitter.com/nYfYTtAdER

All jokes aside it will be interesting to see if Bell can produce against his old team. The Jets offense has struggled a great deal even with Bell so look for Pittsburgh to key on him and try to shut him down.
