Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed that Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le'Veon Bell will all sit out during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Steelers secured the AFC North title with a 31-27 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, allowing their star trio to rest without repercussions.

Landry Jones or Zach Mettenberger will start at quarterback for the Steelers, while DeAngelo Williams will likely take the majority of carries in Bell's absence.

Bell was named the Steelers' MVP by their players Wednesday, after rushing for 1,268 yards and seven touchdowns, while adding 75 receptions for 616 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games.
