The AFC North will be without the Steelers as the rest of the division gets ready for week seven in the NFL.

The AFC North finished with a record of 3-1 between the four teams that competed in the week six competition. The Steelers, Bengals, and Ravens were victorious while the Browns lost again. It was a week full of interesting matchups across this division as it continues to stay close in the standings.

The difference between first and last place continues to get closer. The margin of error for this group is small as they move forward into the season ahead. The Ravens currently sit on top of the division with the Bengals having the second-place spot. The Browns and Steelers are tied for the last two spots in the division.

Cincinnati Bengals (4-2)

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off another nice win as they defeated the Detroit Lions. The Tiger was mightier than the Lion in this one. Detroit played host but they could not muster much against this young and upcoming Cincinnati team.

The Lions are a franchise that is not accomplishing much during the 2021 year. They are in rebuild mode yet again as they hope to gather some wins during this season before they pack up and get ready for the offseason. They have the worst record in the league and it showed again as the Bengals made easy work of them.

This is going to be a huge test in week seven as these cats head on the road to face the Baltimore Ravens. The away team will try to surprise the Ravens with a victory here. The home club is playing really good football at the moment and this is going to be a tough matchup on the road.
