AFC North standings entering Week 3 after Steelers squeak past Browns

Week two in the NFL has finally come to a close and there were some shifts in the AFC North standings.

It was an action-packed weekend of football, but there is another week ahead that will push these teams up and down the standings based off their outcome.

Two AFC North battles took place between Sunday and Monday this past week. They were both fights that saw close conclusions. None of the teams look special right now, but then again, neither do most teams in the league. A couple teams boosted their cause during the early portion of the year while others have begun to suffer setbacks.

Many thought LA would be a terrible team this year, but they have been contesting ever game they have been with a solid offensive attack.
