The Pittsburgh Steelers have caught some major breaks in the first half of the 2025 season. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went down with a toe injury in Week 2 that required surgery and has sidelined him since mid-September, while Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed multiple games with a hamstring injury.
These devastating AFC North injuries helped Mike Tomlin's team to quickly climb to the top of the division as the Bengals and Ravens struggled to stay alive. Unfortunately, Pittsburgh squandered a golden opportunity to maintain a huge divisional lead, as they've lost three of their last four games and currently sit on a 5-4 record entering Week 11.
