While the rest of the AFC North seems to be imploding due to injuries and poor play, the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to fly under the radar, stacking wins, taking care of business and putting themselves in a good position early in the season.
Even while they were idle during a much-needed Week 5 bye, they extended their lead in the rugged division, and now face a pair of AFC North games in Weeks 6 and 7 against the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals, getting an opportunity to extend their lead further.
They can do so while battling their own injury issues, on top of still getting familiar with a bunch of new faces and working out the kinks on both sides of the football from a schematic and personnel standpoint.
