Who is the team to beat in the division?

The year started with a strong start from the Ravens, and it looked like they were going to run away with the division. They have slowed the last two games and lost to the Cleveland Browns.

The Cleveland Browns are now tied with the Ravens from the division lead, and they are considered contenders with all of the talents that they have. This Ravens at Steelers game will say a lot about whether this is two-horse or a three-horse race for the division?

None of the teams are particularly strong in this division, so it is winnable for the Steelers. It seems like the only sure thing at this point is that the Bengals will be in the basement of the division.

Conclusion

Every game in the NFL is essential, but this game is crucial if they Steelers want to be contenders for the division. Although it will be possible for the Steelers to win the division after losing this game, it will be much more difficult.

Games at home and in the division against contenders are always important. This game is also important because it will say a lot about how the Steelers are perceived in the division. There are also bragging rights on the table.

I will answer these five burning questions after the game, but I will tell you that it will be in a lot better mood if the Steelers win this critical game.
