CINCINNATI -- Don't expect a jersey exchange between Cincinnati Bengals running Joe Mixon and Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell when their teams play on Monday night.

Bell accused Mixon of copying his running style and first down celebration one month ago via his Twitter account. Notably, Mixon has dropped the celebration since then for something else.

"I looked up to him, but for the most part, I wasn't tripping," Mixon said, "I mean, hey, if you don't want me doing it, I ain't gonna do it. ... I ain't worried about it."

The back and forth started after the Bengals loss to the Steelers on Oct. 22. The Bengals had only 17 net rushing yards in the second half of the game, and a frustrated Mixon cited Bell's heavy workload as an example of what he would like to be doing as well.

"I feel like I'm seeing [Le'Veon Bell] got the ball 35 times, and I got it seven in the first half and then don't touch the ball again," Mixon said. "[Jeremy] Hill only got one touch in the second half. It's frustrating to us running backs. We feel like we're in the room and we feel like we're part of the offense. If it worked in the first half, why not do it in the second?"

He later added: "Me personally, I feel like I can do way more than [Bell] did. Like I said, I only had seven carries. I can't showcase nothing if I don't get the ball. There's nothing else I can say."

Bell appeared to take offense to the comment, and tweeted about Mixon during the Bengals' game against the Colts the following week.

for someone who feels they can do "way more" than I can, sure seems like u wanna be me! tryin to mimic my run style, my 1st down celebration — Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) October 29, 2017

Mixon's seven carries against the Steelers were a season low. With teammate Jeremy Hill now on injured reserve, Mixon has received 43 carries in the last two games, and reached the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time last week.

With the second meeting coming up between the teams, Mixon didn't appear to be concerned about the "feud" and laughed when he was asked about it.

"Honestly I'm not worried about it," he said. "I'm going out there to win a football game, I'm not going out there to figure out what another man is thinking."
