Week 10 saw the top two teams in the AFC North, the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, rest up on bye weeks. That opened the door for the Cleveland Browns to gain valuable ground behind the Bengals in the middle of the standings.
Instead, the Browns suffered their second-worst defeat of the season with a 22-point loss in Miami. Meanwhile, the Steelers snapped a two-game skid with a 20-10 victory, their third of the season. As such, the Browns and Steelers now have an identical record through nine games, with the former holding a tiebreaker advantage.
