The Pittsburgh Steelers have a big game ahead of them this Sunday, to say the least. The Steelers will welcome the New England Patriots in a rematch of last year's AFC Championship Game. For running back Le'Veon Bell, there's a lot going on in this game.

However, there is expected to be one notable difference in their marquee matchup. That is because, at least for superstar running back Le'Veon Bell, this game is a shot at redemption.

By way of ESPN's Jeremy Fowler:

“I just felt like I missed a opportunity to get to a Super Bowl,” Bell said. “When this year came around, we saw the schedules and everything, I knew had another opportunity if I was being healthy and playing the Pats again. It's good. The opportunity is here.”

Bell went down early on the Steelers' first possession in last year's postseason matchup. As a result, he finished with just 20 yards on six carries before they ultimately lost 36-17. It obviously skews a bit of the outcome, even if not to the degree some Pittsburgh fans might claim.

However, Bell has been arguably the NFL's best running back this year despite holding out from training camp in the offseason. Needless to say, Pittsburgh has been clicking on all cylinders this season with the most deadly trio of players in the league.

They now have the chance to not only settle a score with the Patriots, but capture home-field advantage throughout the playoffs as well. The Steelers currently sit one game ahead of New England on the back of their current eight-game win streak.
