It's only Week 6, but the Pittsburgh Steelers already hold pole position in the AFC standings and a comfortable division lead in the AFC North. Mike Tomlin's team is 3-1 coming out of their early Week 5 bye with a chance to pull away from their rivals with back-to-back games looming against the Browns and the Bengals.
But while the Steelers' record and their roster on paper might fool you into believing that this team is ready to contend, one ugly stat tells a much different story.
Entering Week 6, the Steelers have a negative point differential of -2, per ESPN stats.
