Steelers lose lead in AFC North on bye week

The Pittsburgh Steelers went into the bye week in first place in the AFC North. But after the Baltimore Ravens beat the Tennessee Titans in London on Sunday, they took a half-game lead with a 4-2 record.

This makes this week’s game against the Los Angeles Rams even more important. With an early bye, the Steelers now have a 12-game grind to finish out the year.

Meanwhile, the Ravens don’t have a bye week until Week 13. They had the option to take the bye in Week Seven after playing an international game but passed on it.

This means we could see a back-and-forth battle between Baltimore and Pittsburgh for the next two months. Not to mention Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is finally healthy and that makes them a contender to win out.
