PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers stand at 3-1 in an otherwise disastrous AFC North coming out of their bye week. Everything seems set up for the team to win the division, even with a tough second half schedule on tap.
To this point, head coach Mike Tomlin has done a nice job of patching up weaknesses. The run defense has improved greatly. The Steelers are allowing 4.2 yards per carry (16th in NFL), but just 3.8 per carry in the last two games. The success rates have dropped, too.
