elers late-season playoff push and earning MVP consideration, Bell isnt backing down from a reunion with Burfict.Im pretty sure they are going to do whatever

PITTSBURGH -- Running back LeVeon Bell promises to walk away from the latest clash with Vontaze Burfict and the Cincinnati Bengals with two healthy knees.Bell has suffered injuries in each of the past two matchups with Cincinnati, tearing two knee ligaments in Week 8 of last season after Burfict tackled him by the sideline. The hit ended his season.Now leading the Steelers late-season playoff push and earning MVP consideration, Bell isnt backing down from a reunion with Burfict.Im pretty sure they are going to do whatever they got to try to get me off the field. It is what it is. I understand that, Bell said. The last two times Ive played them, its been that way. Im obviously not going to let it happen a third time. Im going to be prepared for everything. Got to, because with my mindset I have to be smart about it.Bell said during the offseason that he believed Burfict -- who served a three-game suspension for several egregious hits -- intentionally tried to hurt him. Since that Bengals game, Bell has been averaging 161.6 total yards per game and broke a franchise record with 236 rushing yards in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.Bell also hurt his knee from a Reggie Nelson hit in Week 16 of the 2014 season, causing him to miss the playoffs that year. The injury did not require surgery.Bell, who missed the first three games of 2016 for a substance abuse violation, said of course he expects the Bengals to draw the Steelers into after-the-whistle play. Ignoring the chatter wont be a challenge at all, said Bell, who added Burfict looks like the same player to him.Im pretty sure [Burficts] going to do whatever he has to do -- Im going to go out there and play football, Bell said. Thats what Im going to do. Im going to go out there and try to beat those guys with my football play. Im not necessarily worried about trying to be dirty or doing anything to try to hurt those guys.Bell said his knee recovery has been a long journey, but hes held up well after the heaviest of workloads. Bell has touched the ball 166 times in the past five weeks, including 118 rushes in his past four games -- all wins.His dynamic play has prompted teammates, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger,?to push his MVP case publicly.Its an honor. Ive been hearing it, Bell said. I want to do whatever it takes to win these three games. Im not really worried about an award. Ive got to do whatever it takes to help us win a Super Bowl.
