Le'Veon Bell leaves Steelers game with knee injury

With the AFC North title on the line Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers were left to hope an injury won't keep one of their offensive stars out for the start of the postseason.

Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell left the game in the third quarter and did not return after taking a hit to his right knee

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after the game Bell had hyperextended his knee but did not have any structural damage.

Bell entered the game as the NFL's No. 2 rusher, trailing only DeMarco Murray of the Dallas Cowboys. He is also a key part of Pittsburgh's passing attack and ranks second on the team in receptions and receiving yards.

The Steelers will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
