3. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the best team in the AFC North
The Steelers rallied from a 21-17 deficit against the Cincinnati Bengals and stormed out to a 42-21 lead in the fourth quarter to get a leg up in the AFC North race. The Cleveland Browns blew a lead to the Indianapolis Colts and lost, 25-24. The Steelers improved their record to 8-5 as the Browns fell to 7-6, and the Bengals fell to 8-4-1.
The Steelers and Ravens are each half a game behind the Bengals, but the Steelers have played with intensity that was lacking in the first half of the season that will guide them to an AFC North title. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger put on a clinic against the Bengals with 350 yards and three touchdown passes. The AFC North is still as competitive as ever, but the Steelers are the most dangerous team in the division.
