The Pittsburgh Steelers had the week off for an early Week 5 bye week. And while they didn’t play a game, they still came away as one of the biggest winners of the week.
The Steelers came out of Week 5 gaining a game lead over every team in the AFC North. The Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens both fell to 1-4. Cleveland lost 21-17 to the Minnesota Vikings in London and Baltimore was blown out 44-10 by the Houston Texans. Cincinnati closed out the late window by losing 37-24 to the Detroit Lions, dropping to 2-3.
The Steelers play the Browns and Bengals, respectively, in their next two games with a golden opportunity put the division out of reach, or at least make it nearly impossible for the remaining three teams to catch them in the division race.
