NFL schedule leaks are pretty common but when the Pittsburgh Steelers team writer is sharing information you can bet it is more than just a typical report. Bob Labriola of the Steelers’ site shared a tweet from New York Jets writer Manish Mehta about the pending showdown between the Steelers and Jets.

According to Mehta, Pittsburgh will face former teammate Le’Veon Bell on the road in Week 16. Bell signed a free-agent contract with the Jets this offseason after sitting out all of last season and forfeiting a year’s salary to keep himself healthy for free agency.
