The New York Jets lost to the Cleveland Browns, 23-3, in Monday evening's AFC clash in East Rutherford, N.J. In a first half that featured zero touchdowns for the Jets ā and only one for the opposing Browns ā one of New York's few first half highlights came courtesy of former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell.
While this hardly comes as a surprise considering Bell's ability to break tackles in the open field, the Jets' newcomer put the moves on more than a few members of the Browns defense on one play in this game. Bell's spin move not only got Pro Bowl linebacker Joe Schobert to miss, but he also managed a few extra yards before nearly breaking free for much more.
Although Bell failed to do much more in the first half, he left at least one positive imprint on an otherwise forgettable night for the Jets.

It won't be an easy road back for the Jets this season, who are down to the team's third string quarterback in Luke Falk. With starting signal caller Sam Darnold already expected to miss an extended period of time due to illness, former Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Trevor Siemian got the nod to begin Monday's outing against the Browns.
Siemian almost immediately exited the contest due to a leg injury, leaving the Jets with only Falk as an option under center.
The Jets are now looking to avoid a 0-3 startā¦ and find a quarterback who can help Le'Veon Bell as much as realistically possible.
