If you had told most Pittsburgh Steelers fans before the season that the team was far and away the top dog in the AFC North through six weeks, I doubt many would have believed you. With the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals employing two of the NFL's very best quarterbacks, plenty of analysts even had the Steelers pegged as the third-best team in the division.
Unfortunately for their division rivals, injuries and regression have hit them incredibly hard. The Bengals lost Joe Burrow to a potentially season-ending toe injury, the Ravens were cratering on defense before Lamar Jackson ended up on the shelf for the past few weeks, and the Browns are, well, the Browns.
