4 obstacles in Steelers way of winning AFC North
Joe B. and the Bengals
Winning the AFC North could be a breeze for Pittsburgh if it wasn’t for Joe Burrow and his Bengals. Burrow is one of the most elite quarterbacks in the NFL. In the 2021 season, Burrow played behind an offensive line comparable to the Pittsburgh Steelers and still managed to almost win the Super Bowl. Cincinnati has talented wide receivers, a good running back, the best young kicker in the league, and a strong defense.
With the upcoming draft, this team can only get better. It is almost a certainty that they will use their draft picks to strengthen their offensive line. Once this is accomplished they can continue to add talent to their roster. The Bengals will be good next year, and with better blocking on offense, they should be expected to play in the Super Bowl again.

Considering how far this team went last year with a poor offensive line, it’s scary to imagine what they will do this upcoming season with a better offensive line. If Pittsburgh wants to win the AFC North, they better be prepared for the matchups with Cincinnati.
