The Pittsburgh Steelers are 3-1 despite doing everything they could to be 1-3, that hideous fourth quarter across the pond serving as the latest example. They are off this week, which in the AFC North right now is practically a win.
Look around the division. The Ravens are 1-3. Derrick Henry can’t hold onto the ball when it matters most. Their key players are dropping at a more alarming rate.
The Bengals are treading water at 2-2. But Jake Browning holds the keys to the offense until Joe Burrow returns this season — if he returns. And Browning is not an insurance policy; he’s an insurance claim waiting to happen.
