3 things that went wrong for the Steelers during their bye week
By Tommy Jaggi
All three AFC North teams won
It’s never easy to root for ‘America’s team,’ but the one time we want the Dallas Cowboys to win, they don’t pull through. The Cleveland Browns looked like the Kansas City Chiefs against the Cowboys on Sunday as they racked up 49 points in the win.
However, they weren’t the only AFC North rival to take care of business during Pittsburgh’s bye. The Baltimore Ravens breezed past Washington, while the Cincinnati Bengals were able to seal the win against the Jaguars.
At 10-4-1, the AFC North currently has the best win percentage of all the conferences in the National Football League. While we could have expected the Ravens to come away with a win this week (at they were favored by 14 points), Cleveland upsetting the Cowboys was a bit concerning.
It’s too early to start worrying about whether or not the Browns are the real deal, but pulling a game-and-a-half ahead of them would have been nice during Pittsburgh’s week off.
