After the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Detroit Lions a week ago, they seemed destined to run away with the AFC North. They were two games up on the Baltimore Ravens. With Tyler Huntley starting in Green Bay, a Ravens loss or tie or a Steelers win would have cemented Pittsburgh as the kings of the North. Then, DK Metcalf was suspended for two games.
And the Ravens beat the Packers. Still, the Steelers had a chance to end the race with a win over a three-win Cleveland team on Sunday. The task proved to be too difficult, as the Steelers couldn’t find the end zone once in a 13-6 loss.
