The Pittsburgh Steelers now lead the AFC North, following a dominant win at home over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Sunday marked the 23rd consecutive victory at home over Cleveland, and the defense was on full display, allowing just six points. The pass rush racked up eight sacks, and Jaylen Warren continued to be a force on the ground.
The Steelers can enjoy their bye week in first place, but now the focus turns to the front office and whether the Steelers will add a receiver or other help for down the stretch. The Bengals have won three straight and are looking like the other team to beat in the division. Unfortunately, Lamar Jackson is headed to injured reserve, and Baltimore is looking like a team in disarray after a loss to Buffalo.
