Le'Veon Bell, Elvis Dumervil, Ryan Allen tabbed AFC's best of the week

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil and New England Patriots punter Ryan Allen were selected as the AFC's top players for Week 14 of the NFL season.

Bell became top offensive player as he totaled 235 yards from scrimmage (185 rushing, 50 receiving) along with a combined three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving) as the Steelers mounted a fourth-quarter comeback in a 42-21 decision at Cincinnati. He's the first Pittsburgh RB to gain the honor since Rashad Mendenhall in Week 6 of the 2011 season.

Dumervil earned defensive acclaim for recording 3 1/2 sacks and forcing one fumble in the Ravens' 28-13 triumph at Miami. The Louisville product set a new franchise single-season sack record at 16, surpassing Peter Boulware (2001), and became the first Baltimore defender to win a weekly honor since Terrell Suggs in Week 14 three seasons ago.

Allen picked up his first career special-teams recognition by punting for a 49.4 average over five kicks, including four inside the 15-yard line, as New England rallied for a 23-14 win at San Diego.
