Jackpot Airlines flight attendant Ronnie Messing learns during a trip that the coveted job she wanted on Delta's JFK route has gone to her coworker Jill; furious, she quits her job on the spot. She bonds with Colin McCormack, the British economics professor sitting next to her, and the two attempt to have sex before being interrupted by Captain Dave. The experience convinces her to backtrack on her decision, but not before learning that he's married. Frequent flyer Artem, a professional bookie, tries to make money betting on the other passengers, while Captain Dave, struggling with his failed marriage, keeps trying to pick up women to Ronnie's disgust. However, he redeems himself by using Muay Thai to subdue an angry passenger. Colin, who turns out to be separated from his wife, leaves her behind in Vegas for a chance to start a relationship with Ronnie.

Ronnie decides at the last second to break off a date with Colin, putting their relationship in jeopardy. During a flight, an elderly passenger sitting next to Nicole suddenly passes away, and protocol dictates that the body cannot be disposed of until the plane lands. Despite efforts to cover up the death, Nicole accidentally reveals it and incites panic. A more serious crisis emerges when Captain Dave finds himself unable to land the plane due to a nervous tic, and refuses to let his co-pilot Alan take over out of professional pride. When Alan knocks himself unconscious by tripping over the body, Ronnie enters the cockpit and persuades Dave that his condition is all in his head while Artem rallies the passengers to celebrate that they are still alive. The flight lands successfully, and Ronnie tries to apologize to Colin; he informs her that whatever they had won't work. Ronnie reluctantly agrees and sulks off to get drunk.

After Captain Dave breaks his wrist, his nemesis Captain Steve is brought in to fly in his place. Almost immediately, Steve's demanding nature clashes with Ronnie and Bernard's laid-back behavior. An argument between Steve and Dave eventually comes to blows; because Steve forced Dave to sit in the cabin, Dave is not considered a pilot, and Steve is arrested for assaulting a passenger. Before Captain Dave can reassume his role as pilot, Captain Kyle is called in as a second replacement. Meanwhile, Colin learns that the play palace he booked for his son's birthday party has been shut down, so Artem and Nicole step in to transform the Grapefroots strip club into something slightly more suitable for young children.

Jackpot Airlines passengers contend with new, restrictive fees that lock down everything from overhead bins to bathroom access. Ronnie notices Dean, a frequent flier, with an unfamiliar woman and suspects him of cheating on his wife. Against the advice of others, she confronts them, earning the ire of the rest of the plane and prompting Dean to berate her. Colin attempts to make Dean apologize, and after the two get physical, Dean reveals that he is an unmarried air marshal on vacation with his girlfriend and takes Colin into custody. Captain Dave flirts with air traffic controller Gwen and eventually asks her out, only to be met and chastised by her supervisor upon landing.

Captain Dave insults his plane's cleanup crew, prompting them to expose the plane to odors so foul that the passengers must disembark. As he and Bernard attempt to combat the smells, Dave realizes his insensitivity and buys pastries as an apology, only to give them to a similar-looking crew by mistake. Ronnie and Colin scour the Las Vegas airport and the TSA confiscated items vault looking for his son's favorite stuffed bear, only to watch as a bomb squad disposes of it. After seeing how distraught this makes Colin, Ronnie offers his son a beloved stuffed animal of her own as a replacement. Artem teaches Nicole how to play poker, only to be taken aback when she immediately begins winning.

As Bernard unsuccessfully tries to stop the conflict, Nichole collects bets from airport employees and travelers, Colin trains Dave to box, and Artem performs an emergency procedure on Ronnie's tooth.

Ronnie and Nichole hit the town on a double date in a fancy restaurant with two magicians who constantly perform tricks. Colin receives his divorce papers, and Captain Dave decides to organize a "guy's night" with Artem, Bernard, and Alan joining in. They pre-game back on the plane and get stranded there after the jetway crew pulls the plane away from the gate. After more drinks, Colin realizes he still has feelings for Ronnie, and the rest of the guys convince him to act on them.

Ronnie gets evicted from her apartment after accidentally lighting its garbage chute on fire. She briefly rooms with Bernard, whose numerous rules quickly get the better of her. She then stays with Captain Dave in Parking Lot B, a trailer park with a music festival vibe and quirky residents. She overstays her welcome there by letting loose too aggressively, and the community kicks her out. Ronnie eventually apologizes to Dave and moves back in with Bernard to help teach herself discipline. Colin receives poor reviews from his students and enlists the help of Bernard and Nichole to improve his job performance, which dramatically improves after he starts using stripping techniques to maintain the attention of his students. Dave loses a bet with Artem and lies about his whereabouts to avoid paying his debt.

Jackpot overbooks a flight to Vegas on the same day as a big MMA fight, and the crew must convince four passengers to disembark. Once food and beverage service stop, Nichole begins selling her stockpile of snacks at exorbitant prices. Bryan surprises Ronnie by attempting to stage their first date on the flight, but the demands of contending with the angry passengers prevent her from spending any time with him. Artem is seated next to a ventriloquist, whose rude dummy eventually sends him into a rage, and the ensuing fight vacates their three seats. A dejected Bryan offers to give up his seat as well, and the plane can finally take off. After landing in Vegas, Colin offers to have drinks with a frustrated Ronnie, but Bryan appears and whisks her off on a proper date first.

Nichole's mother Patricia, an uptight politician, joins her in Vegas on the same weekend as Bernard's lavish Bible-themed birthday party, which the regular Jackpot crew attends. Never having told her mother about her profession, Nichole attempts to hide this by pretending to date Captain Dave. While Bernard struggles to impress the party-goers, Colin connects with a woman who is similar to his ex-wife. Their constant flirting makes Ronnie jealous, and her efforts to break them up cause her to neglect Bryan. Dave eventually explains that his relationship with Nichole is a sham and convinces Patricia to go on a date with him. After Dave reveals this, Nichole continues to save face with her mother by pretending to date Ronnie instead. Colin almost goes home with his new woman, but returns to the party after discovering her poor Lyft rating. As the festivities conclude, Ronnie apologizes to Bryan for her absence, and the Jackpot crew inadvertently recreate The Last Supper.

Jack Silver, the CEO of Jackpot Airlines, joins the crew on a flight to Vegas as a PR stunt. Colin brags that he has never lost a bet, so Artem and Nichole bet him that he cannot say fewer than 150 words before they land. While fighting over which of them is the more dedicated employee, Ronnie and Bernard drop Jack's lunch, but clean it off and serve it anyway. A teenage boy films this, expecting to go viral with the footage, and Ronnie fears that she will lose her job. While visiting Captain Dave in the cockpit, Jack learns that he is to be indicted upon landing, so he hijacks the plane and attempts to fly to Mexico. Ronnie overrides Jack's lock on the cockpit door and, after Jack escapes by pretending to jump out of the plane, everyone lands safely in Vegas. Nichole convinces the boy to delete his footage of Ronnie by offering to pretend to be his girlfriend. Artem is overjoyed to find that his long-standing cold streak is over thanks to Colin losing their bet, so he forgives Colin's debts.

2.15[20]

Ronnie, Bernard, and Captain Dave attend Jackpot's yearly training seminar. Unlike the booze-fueled banger of years past, the seminar is straight-laced and orderly thanks to customer complaints about the LA to Vegas crew. Dave makes inroads with the younger pilots by telling embarrassing stories about Ronnie and Bernard's on-duty behavior; these stories spread around the seminar, and the two are suspended indefinitely. Thanks to drugged food from the Jackpot crew in Reno, chaos breaks out on the flight home that the younger crew and pilots cannot contain. With Dave helping from the cockpit, Ronnie and Bernard get the situation under control, and Jackpot shows its gratitude by lifting their suspensions. Meanwhile, Colin, Artem, and Nichole stake out a slot machine in the Vegas airport that's due to pay out a huge jackpot. After luring an old woman away from it and enduring a lengthy power outage, they repeatedly play the machine to no avail; soon after they give up, someone else wins the jackpot.

To entertain Bryan on his trip to Los Angeles, Ronnie hosts a dinner party at Bernard's apartment and invites the Jackpot crew. Captain Dave arrives with Patricia, hoping to make the night their first official date, but she spends most of the party working. Colin attends with his Uber driver as his date, but her accommodating demeanor makes him wonder if she still considers him a passenger. Artem insists that Nichole read his new action-musical screenplay and is hurt when she criticizes it. With the party underway, Ronnie realizes she didn't order the prepared meals she thought she did; as she scrambles to cook dinner from scratch, the demands of hosting cause her to lash out at everyone. Bryan consoles Ronnie after her outburst, and the two order Taco Bell as a replacement meal. As the party winds down, Bryan asks Ronnie to move in with him in Vegas. Colin hooks up with his date, and Dave breaks up with Patricia after they can't agree on how serious their relationship is.

Captain Dave's breakup has trapped him in a cynical funk. Artem attempts to cheer him up by bringing him to a casino to play craps, where he begins a remarkable winning streak. With Dave away from the airport, the Jackpot plane cannot take off, and gate agent Caroline demands that he return. While Bernard and Alan stall Caroline, Ronnie and Nichole race off to the casino to find Dave with a drunken Colin who has finally embraced Vegas. Surrounded by an adoring crowd, Dave is buoyed by their love and agrees to return to the airport, where their plane is further delayed by Caroline and Alan hooking up on it. After weighing her decision, Ronnie agrees to move in with Bryan, while Dave plans to buy a ring and propose to Patricia.

Jackpot loses Captain Dave's bag with his engagement ring still inside, putting his proposal plans in jeopardy. Fed up with his lengthy divorce proceedings, Colin tries to help Dave by visiting Meghan at her magic show and demanding that she return their old engagement ring. Ronnie prepares to move in with Bryan, but a second-chance job interview lands her a position on a Delta flight from L.A. to New York City. This forces her to choose between her relationship and her career, a decision made more complex when Colin spontaneously kisses her. On the night of the proposal, Nichole reveals that she stole Dave's bag to stop him from marrying her mother, but ultimately decides that the decision is not hers to make. Dave backs out of the proposal at the last moment, with Nichole assisting him by finally telling her mother that she is a stripper. Much to Colin's shock, Dave rebounds by spending a passionate weekend in L.A. with Meghan. After getting kicked out of her mother's house, Nichole moves in with Bernard, and Ronnie takes a flight to Hong Kong to figure out what she really wants.

text: ABC Board

text: Members[edit]

text: The Governor-General, on the recommendation of the Federal Government, appoints members, as specified in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act, 1983, commonly called the ABC Act.[5][6] The ABC Act specifies that Directors must be experienced in broadcasting, communications or management, or have expertise in financial or technical matters, or have cultural or other interests relevant to the provision of broadcasting services.[7] Each director serves a term of five years, with eligibility for reappointment at the end of this term.[7]

text: Directors are expected to follow the ABC Board Protocol, which stipulates responsibilities, expectations, rights, and benefits.[7]

text: The board maintains an Advisory Council, which advises it on matters concerning the Corporation's programming.[16] The Council is made up of twelve members, broadly representative of the Australian community, which serve staggered four-year terms. Vacancies are advertised in September–October each year. The Advisory Council's current Chair is Dr Jane Munro, Head of International House at the University of Melbourne.[16]

text: Appointment[edit]

text: The Minister for Communications nominates candidates to the Governor-General for appointment to the ABC Board; based on a shortlist prepared by an independent nomination panel. As of  April 2018[update], members of the panel were former Treasury Secretary and Westpac Chair, Ted Evans AC (Chair); company director and lawyer, Dr Sally Pitkin; public relations media director and former broadcaster, Anne Fulwood; and former Australian Public Service Commissioner and departmental secretary, Helen Williams.[17]

text: Appointments to the board made by successive governments have often resulted in criticism of the appointees' political affiliation, background, and relative merit.[18][19] From 2003 the Howard government also made several controversial appointments to the ABC Board, including Albrechtsen, a prominent critic,[20] Ron Brunton,[21] and Keith Windschuttle.[19][22]

text: During their 2007 federal election campaign, Labor announced plans to introduce a new system, similar to that of the BBC, for appointing members to the board.[23][24] Under this new system, now in place, ABC candidates are considered by a panel established "at arm's length" from the Communications Minister.[25] If the Minister chose someone not on the panel's shortlist, the Minister would be required to justify their selection to Australian Parliament. The Chairman of the ABC is nominated by the Prime Minister and endorsed by the Leader of the Opposition.[23][26]

text: Criticism[edit]

text: Past appointments have been associated directly with political parties—five of fourteen appointed chairmen have been accused of political affiliation or friendship, including Richard Downing and Ken Myer (both of whom publicly endorsed the Australian Labor Party at the 1972 election[62]), as well as Sir Henry Bland. David Hill was close to Neville Wran, while Donald McDonald was considered to be a close friend of John Howard.[63]

text: In the past, appointments of commissioners and directors also drew criticism.[19] In the 1932, a majority of the commissioners were publicly conservative.[citation needed] This continued to 1942, when the Curtin and Chifley administrations appointed a more 'politically balanced' commission.[citation needed]

text: Once elected to power, Labor prime minister Whitlam replaced the entire board—appointed by Liberal governments over the previous 23 years—with supporters of the Labor Party.[63] His successor, Malcolm Fraser, attempted unsuccessfully to take similar action by replacing the board with politically conservative commissioners in 1976,[63] but was only able to make new appointments by adding two extra director positions onto the board.[54][63]

text: In 1983, Minister John Button referred proposed board appointments to an all-party committee for the first time.[63] This practice was discontinued before the end of Paul Keating's government.[63] Alan Ramsey, in a 1996 article for The Sydney Morning Herald noted that:

text:
“

"12 came from overt political backgrounds, among them a former Labor premier,[19] a former Liberal senator, a former Liberal Cabinet minister, four trade union activists, four advisers to various State Labor administrations, and Labor's former opinion pollster, Rod Cameron.[19]" In short, "less than half Labor's ABC appointments over the years have had obvious party political connections, while two of them came from among the ranks of its political opponents."[54]

”

text: A 2006 restructure of the ABC board, undertaken by the Howard government, abolished the position of staff elected director.[3] The elected director was previously nominated and elected by employees of the ABC. Nominees for this director office were to have been employed at least 24 hours a week by the ABC and the term of office was two years with eligibility for re-election to a second term. An elected director was not eligible for a third term of office. Broadcaster Ramona Koval had occupied the position for the previous four years prior to its abolition amid ongoing intense controversy.[64] This drew criticism from the Labor Party, Australian Greens, and the Democrats, who saw it as a 'revenge measure' taken against the Corporation.[65][66]

text: In July 2007, Labor announced plans to make the system of appointments to the board independent of the Minister for Communications;[23] and also reinstate the staff election of a nominee director.[4] Initial members of the independent panel were Gonski, Smith, Allan Fels and Leneen Forde.[14]

text:
In September 2018, there was criticism raised by Labor's Shadow Communications Minister Michelle Rowland about ABC's "independence and integrity of Australia's most trusted news organisation risk having been compromised"[67] following discussions within the ABC board about an email instruction from John Milne to Michelle Guthrie in May 2018 to sack senior presenter Emma Alberici, on the basis that what was reported by Alberici did not agree with the government.
On 24 September 2018, John Milne announced to ABC staff that Managing Director Michelle Guthrie was sacked following discussions with the ABC executive and directors.[68] Milne then announced his resignation on 27 September.[69]  Communications Minister Mitch Fifield has directly appointed a majority of the current members of the board, some of whom were rejected by the nomination panel.[70]

question_text: where did le'veon bell go to high school

text: Le'Veon Bell

text: High school career[edit]

text: Bell attended Groveport Madison High School in Groveport, Ohio, where he played football, basketball, and ran track.[2] He played running back for the Groveport Cruisers football team. As a sophomore, Bell ran for 789 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. As a junior, Bell ran for 1,100 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, and as a senior, Bell ran for 1,333 yards on 200 carries with 21 touchdowns. He was selected first-team All-Ohio Capital Conference Ohio Division as a senior. In basketball, Bell earned second-team All-OCC Ohio Division honors as a junior. He also participated in track & field while at Groveport, where he ran the 100 and 200-meter dashes and was one of the state's top performers in the high jump (personal-best of 6'8" or 2.03 meters).[3]

text: Considered a two-star recruit by ESPN.com, Bell was listed as the No. 211 running back in the nation in 2010.[4] Although he was a 3-year starter in high school, Bell had limited scholarship offers from Bowling Green, Marshall, and Eastern Michigan, but he hoped to attend Ohio State. Bell's high school principal, Donis Toler Jr., believed he was under-recruited and reached out to Michigan State's head coach Mark Dantonio. Although Dantonio had heard of Bell, they had never scouted him personally or had thought of offering him a scholarship. With football season over, Dantonio sent his running back's coach to scout Bell at his high school basketball game.[5] After he finished his senior football season, he finally received a scholarship offer from Michigan State after a number of players had got into trouble and had open scholarships available with a need at running back.[6] In 2010, he graduated from high school early and began attending Michigan State that spring semester.[7]

text: College career[edit]

text: Bell enrolled in Michigan State University, where he played for the Michigan State Spartans football team from 2010 to 2012.[8]

text: Freshman season[edit]

text: As a freshman in 2010, he appeared in 13 games, rushing for 605 yards on 107 carries with eight rushing touchdowns.

text: Sophomore season[edit]

text: As a sophomore in 2011, Bell led the Spartans in rushing with 948 yards on 182 carries and 13 touchdowns.[10] Against the Iowa Hawkeyes, he had 161 yards of total offense and a rushing touchdown. Against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, he had 165 all-purpose yards (96 rushing, 38 receiving, and 31 kickoff return yards) and two total touchdowns in the game.[12][10] Against #18 Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Bell rushed for 48 yards on 17 carries with two touchdowns and had five receptions for 39 yards in Michigan State's 33–30 victory.[11][13]

text: Junior season[edit]

text: Against Eastern Michigan in 2012, Bell ran for a career-high 253 yards while also claiming the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week Award.[14] He finished the season with 1,793 rushing yards, which led the Big Ten.[15][16] He was voted to the First Team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media, ESPN.com, College Football News, and Phil Steele.[11]

text: After his junior season in 2012, Bell decided to forego his senior season and entered the 2013 NFL Draft.[17]

text: Professional career[edit]

text: Coming out of Michigan State, Bell was projected by the majority of analysts to be a second or third round selection. He was ranked as the fifth best running back by NFLDraftScout.com and ranked the best overall running back by NFL analyst Bucky Brooks.[18][19] He received an invitation to the NFL Combine and participated in all workouts and positional drills. Bell was satisfied with his combine performance and only performed positional drills at Michigan State's Pro Day.[20] Bell, Dion Sims, William Gholston, Johnny Adams, and five other Michigan State prospects worked out in front of scouts and representatives from 29 NFL teams.[21] The only head coach that attended was Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin.[21] Scouts considered Bell a big bruising back with quick feet and lower body strength and also gave him positive reviews for his ability to run north-south, for his strong cuts, and nice bursts through holes. The only negative reviews were based on his limited ball-carrier vision, inconsistent blocking, and his height that would possibly affect his speed and ability to dodge tacklers.[20]

text: Bell was selected in the second round with the 48th overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2013 NFL Draft. He was the second running back to be selected that year, only behind Giovani Bernard, who went 37th overall to the Cincinnati Bengals.[22][23] On June 3, 2013, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Bell to a four-year, $4.12 million rookie contract that includes $2.27 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $1.37 million.[24][25]

text: 2013 season[edit]

text: He entered training camp competing with veteran Isaac Redman for the Steelers' starting running back position.[26] In his second preseason game against the Washington Redskins, Bell was tackled on a running play and suffered a mid-foot sprain. His injury did not require surgery, but forced him to miss the first three weeks of the regular season.

text: On September 29, 2013, Bell appeared in his first career game at Wembley Stadium and rushed for 57 yards on 16 carries and a season-high two rushing touchdowns while also catching four receptions for 27 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. His first career touchdown came on an eight-yard run in the first quarter of the game and the Steelers lost, 34–27, in his first career start.[27] Pittsburgh chose to release Isaac Redman on October 21, 2013. On November 28, 2013, Bell had 16 carries for 73 yards and ran for a season-long 43-yard touchdown, while also racking up a season-high seven catches for 63-yards during a 22–20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.[28] During a Week 16 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, he had a season-high 26 carries for 124 yards and a rushing touchdown.[29] On December 29, 2013, in a game against division rival Cleveland Browns, Bell was able to break Steeler's legend Franco Harris’s rookie record for total yards from scrimmage with a total of 1,259 yards.[30]

text: He finished his rookie season with 244 carries, 860 rushing yards, and eight rushing touchdowns. He also had 45 receptions for 399 yards and started the last 13 games of the season.[31][32]

text: 2014 season[edit]

text: Bell began his second season as a starter in the season opener against the Cleveland Browns and finished the game with 21 carries, 109 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown, and six receptions for 88 yards in a 30–27 victory.[33] On September 21, 2014, Bell and LeGarrette Blount both rushed for over 100 yards each against the Carolina Panthers. He finished the 37–19 victory with 21 carries for 147 rushing yards.[34][35] On October 20, 2014, Bell had 8 catches for 88 yards and made his first career touchdown reception in a 30–23 victory over the Houston Texans.[36] He became the first running back in Steelers' history to have seven consecutive games with 100 yards from scrimmage. Bell had his best game of the season, statistically, against the Tennessee Titans on November 17, 2014, gaining 204 rushing yards on a season-high 33 carries as well as a rushing touchdown.[37]

text: On November 30, 2014, Bell had a season-high eight receptions for 159 receiving yards while also accounting for 21 carries, 95 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown in a 35–32 loss to the New Orleans Saints.[38] The next game, he carried the ball 26 times for 185 yards and made six catches for 50 yards while also scoring three total touchdowns in a 42–21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.[39] Bell tied Walter Payton for most consecutive games with 200 or more yards from scrimmage with three after his performance against the Bengals. On December 29, Bell was injured against the Cincinnati Bengals as he hyperextended his knee when being tackled by safety Reggie Nelson. Bell didn’t play against the Ravens in the Wild Card round of the 2014 playoffs, so the Steelers signed veteran and former Cleveland Browns' running back Ben Tate.[35]

text: Bell broke out in the 2014 season, going from rookie to All-Pro, finishing second in rushing yards, yards from scrimmage, and all-purpose yards to Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. He led all running backs in receiving yards and yards per reception.[31][40] He finished the season averaging 4.7 rushing yards per carry (YPC), up from 3.5 YPC in 2013.[41] Bell finished his first complete regular season with a career-high 290 carries, 1,361 rushing yards, 8 rushing touchdowns, 83 receptions, 854 receiving yards, and 3 receiving touchdowns.[42]

text: 2015 season[edit]

text: After being arrested with then-teammate LeGarrette Blount on DUI and marijuana possession charges in August 2014, Bell was suspended by the NFL for the first four games of the 2015 regular season. On April 9, 2015, it was reported that the suspension was reduced to three games. On July 28, 2015, Bell's suspension was reduced from three games to two following a successful appeal.[43]

text: On November 1, 2015, Bell suffered a season-ending torn MCL during the second quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals, after taking a tackle from linebacker Vontaze Burfict. The following day, the Steelers placed him on injured-reserve, effectively ending his season. He finished his season with a total of 113 rushing attempts for 556 rushing yards and three touchdowns and 24 receptions for 136 receiving yards in six games and six starts.[50]

text: On November 6, 2015, it was reported by NFL Network analyst Jason La Canfora that Bell had undergone surgery to repair damage to the MCL/PCL. He was able to return in time for the 2016 offseason.[51] Despite the injury, he was ranked 41st by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016.[52]

text: 2016 season[edit]

text: On August 19, 2016, Bell was officially suspended for the first three games of the 2016 regular season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He stated in an apology on Twitter, that the suspension was due to a missed random drug test in December. The original suspension was four games, but was reduced to three on appeal and as a part of a settlement between the league and the NFL Player's Association.[53]

text: He played in his first game of the season on October 2, 2016, and had 18 carries, 144 rushing yards, 5 catches, and 34 receiving yards in a 43–14 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.[54] In a Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots, Bell caught a career-high 10 passes for 68 receiving yards and had 21 carries for 81 rushing yards in a 27–16 loss.[55] On November 13, 2016, Bell carried the ball 17 times for 57 rushing yards and scored his first rushing touchdown of the season during a 30–35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also accounted for nine receptions for 77 receiving yards and caught his first receiving touchdown of the season during the game.[56] The next game, he had 28 carries for 146 yards and a touchdown during a 24–9 victory over the Browns.[48][57]

text: On December 11, 2016, against the Buffalo Bills, Bell broke the Pittsburgh Steelers' franchise record for rushing yards in a game with 236 rushing yards on a career-high 38 carries while scoring three touchdowns.[58] The previous record was set by Willie Parker when he rushed for 223 yards in 2006.[59] He was named as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Week 14.[60] Bell was named to his second Pro Bowl on December 20, 2016.[61] Bell finished the 2016 regular season with 261 carries for 1,268 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, while also making 75 catches for 616 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 12 games and 12 starts. He also had a career-high four fumbles and lost only one.[62] Despite missing 4 of 16 games, he finished 3rd in the NFL (and 95th all-time) with 1,884 yards from scrimmage. He was also ranked ninth by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2017.[63]

text: On January 8, 2017, Bell started in his first career playoff game and finished with 29 carries for a playoff franchise-record 167 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a 30–12 defeat of the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Wild Card game. His first career playoff touchdown came on a 1-yard run in the second quarter and he also caught two passes for seven yards.[64][65] After the game, it was reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers will use their franchise tag on Bell while attempting to reach an agreement on a long-term contract.The next week, he broke his own team record with 170 rushing yards on 30 carries in an 18–16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round.[66] As the first NFL player to rush over 150 yards in his first two playoff games, he set a record for most rushing yards in the first two playoff games, became one of four players to ever rush for 150+ yards in back to back playoff games, and one of three players with two 160+ yard playoff games in a career.[67] However, he suffered a groin injury late in the game, which grew unmanageable during the championship game loss to the New England Patriots, and he was forced to leave in the second quarter.[68][69]

text: 2017 season[edit]

text: On February 27, 2017, the Steelers placed the franchise tag on Bell.[70] On September 24, 2017, Bell had six receptions for 37 receiving yards, 15 carries for 61 rushing yards, and scored his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard run as the Steelers were defeated by the Chicago Bears, 23–17.[71] The following week, he had a season-high 35 carries for 144 rushing yards and two touchdowns during the Pittsburgh Steelers 26–9 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.[72] Bell was limited to just 47 rushing yards in Week 5's 30–9 loss to Jacksonville, but became the first running back to record 10 receptions in the 2017 season.[73] In Week 6, Bell rushed for 179 yards in a 19–13 win over the Chiefs, earning him AFC Offensive Player of the Week.[74][75][76] At that point in 2017, it was the second most rushing yards in a game to the 181 Leonard Fournette accumulated against Bell's Steelers the previous week.[77] With 134 yards in Week 7,[78] Bell joined Jerome Bettis (in 1997) as the only other Steeler with three 125+ yard rushing games in the first seven of a season.[79] After 76 yards and a touchdown against Detroit,[80] and a bye, Bell had 80 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards to contribute to a 20-17 victory over Indianapolis.[81] In Week 11, Bell again achieved 100 yards from scrimmage with 46 yards rushing and 57 receiving against Tennessee.[82] The next week against Green Bay was even more productive, with 95 yards rushing and 88 receiving on a season-high 12 receptions.[83][84] During Monday Night Football against the Bengals in Week 13, Bell provided 182 total yards of offense, with 106 receiving yards, 76 rushing yards, and a touchdown, as the Steelers won 23–20.[85] In Week 14 against the Ravens, Bell carried 13 times for 48 yards with two touchdowns and caught an additional 9 receptions for 77 yards and another touchdown, which was enough to win against the Ravens 39–38.[86] On December 19, 2017, Bell was named to his third Pro Bowl.[87]. The Steelers had locked a second round bye for the playoffs after going 13-3 in the regular season. [88]

text: On January 11, 2018, Bell said that if the Steelers franchise tagged him again, he would definitely consider sitting out for the year or retiring from the NFL. Bell in 2016 reportedly turned down a two-year deal worth $30 million. Bell said he was not concerned about making the most money possible, but instead wanted to be paid in relation with his value to the team, reportedly saying, "I just want to be valued where I'm at" and "Just get the numbers straight, exactly where we want them. I'm not going to settle for anything. I know what I do and what I bring to the table. I'm not going out here getting the ball 400 times if I'm not getting what I feel I'm valued at." After news broke across the internet, Bell tweeted: "I’m trying to win a super bowl...I can [sic] care less about what happens after this season...my biggest thing I’m focused on is this team I’m on right now, playing for/with my brothers, & bringing back a 7th ring! what happens next year is irrelevant to my goals".[89]

text: On January 13, 2018, Bell sent a tweet before playing in the AFC Divisional game against the Jacksonville Jaguars saying "I love round 2’s...we’ll have two round 2’s in back to back weeks..."[90] The Steelers ended up losing to the Jaguars in a high scoring 42–45 affair in which Bell carried the ball 16 times and gathered 67 rushing yards and a touchdown. Bell also caught 9 passes for 88 yards and a receiving touchdown.[91]

Bell.[11] His mother and grandfather have been lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fans.[92] Throughout his childhood, his mother raised Bell and his siblings by herself and struggled financially.[93] Bell has two older sisters and two younger brothers, both of whom also play football. He cites his high school principal, Donis Toler Jr., and his mother as the two people responsible for helping him achieve his success.
