The running back left the Steelers after a protracted contract dispute. On Sunday he faced his former team as part of a struggling Jets outfit
Le’Veon Bell decided to wear a bright yellow hoodie and black sweatpants to work Sunday because those are the colors of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were not only the
New York Jets’ opponent, but the team for which Bell, the versatile running back, had played for five years before sitting out the 2018 season in a contract dispute.
“I wasn’t doing it to be petty or nothing,” Bell said of his choice of clothing after the Jets beat the Steelers, 16-10, to deal Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes a serious blow. “I thought it would draw a little attention.”
