Joique Bell seeing action early

Running back Joique Bell scored a touchdown on his first NFL carry last week.

Bell was unable to keep his rush-to-touchdown ratio at 1:1, but he has seen some carries early tonight. He has 10 yards on four carries.

Not sure why Kevin Smith has only three carries, but he’s only managed five yards. Maybe the Lions think the bigger Bell will have more success against the hard-hitting San Francisco linebackers.
