Week 6 saw an even split in the AFC North. The Baltimore Ravens suffered a non-conference road defeat to the New York Giants, falling back to .500, while the Cleveland Browns were blown out by the New England Patriots at home.
On the winning side of things, the shorthanded Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a miraculous upset over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were underdogs by as many as 10 points entering the game. The Cincinnati Bengals also got back in the win column with a comeback effort in New Orleans against the Saints.
