This week the Pittsburgh Steelers are on the bye week so we decided to take a quick look at the state of the AFC North.

It’s not comfortable to say but the Ravens are probably the best team in the AFC North. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is an incredible player and seems to get better every week. The Ravens were able to absorb massive injuries to their running backs and come back stronger than ever.
These are not your father’s Bengals. The combination of quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is a potent combo and has sparked this resurgence by the Bengals.

On paper, the Browns might have the most talent of any team in the AFC North but they, much like the Steelers, remain grossly inconsistent. With quarterback Baker Mayfield dealing with a shoulder injury, the Browns need the defense to step up.

Pittsburgh heads into its bye week with two straight wins and despite being last in the AFC North are currently in control of their own playoff destiny. The Steelers offense is slowly getting better and the defense is doing its best to hold serve.
