Updated AFC standings just revealed a dream scenario for Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't need to lift a finger in Week 5 to improve their comfortable division lead in the AFC North. As Mike Tomlin's team got a much-needed early bye to recover from numerous nagging injuries, Pittsburgh's biggest rivals fell flat.

The Ravens were without Lamar Jackson in Week 5 and ultimately suffered a humiliating 44-10 blowout loss to the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Browns fell to the Vikings in London, and the Bengals got trounced by the Lions.

Interestingly, it wasn't just their biggest AFC North rivals who choked this week.
