The Pittsburgh Steelers improved to 4-1 this week, defeating the Cleveland Browns 23-9 in dominant fashion. With the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals also losing Sunday, the Steelers gained an even bigger lead in the AFC North race.
The losses by their rivals this week made it three weeks in a row now where every AFC North team except for Pittsburgh lost.
It has been a nightmare season for the rest of the division, and it has given the Steelers a nice cushion as they prepare for their schedule to ramp up in difficulty. Will it be enough to fend off any challenge from a battered Ravens team?
