The New York Jets have started the season in disappointing fashion by dropping their first two games and heading into a Week 3 with an 0-2 record. Even worse, Week 3 is a matchup with the New England Patriots.

It's easy to see why a fan of the Jets would be discouraged. However, it's even easier to see how a player on the Jets might not be taking it all that well either.

Superstar running back Le'Veon Bell is in his first year with the team after a crazy split from the Pittsburgh Steelers. You'd think he'd be getting frustrated, but is taking the situation in stride.

Again, it would be hard to blame a player for being frustrated. It would be especially hard to blame a superstar player in his first year with the team.

This is a great response from Bell though. He's just happy to be back on the field doing what he loves.

You'd have to imagine that will translate on the field as well.

At the moment, Bell is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry. That's 128 yards on 38 carries. He also has no touchdowns. However, it's hard to get much going when so much is stacked against you.

The Jets are now on their third quarterback and have looked hapless on offense.

Meanwhile, Bell has been strong in the passing game. In just two games, he has already racked up 16 receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown (New York's only offensive touchdown of the season).

So things aren't going great for Bell, but he's looking on the bright side. Things could always be worse, and hey, he's at least back on the field.

With the right attitude anything can happen, now it's time to see if that can translate into some wins.
