Ravens look like the team to beat in the AFC North
Going into Week Nine of the NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were on top with a 6-2 record. Just behind them were the Baltimore Ravens at 5-3. But after watching the Ravens absolutely dismantle the Denver Broncos 41-10, they have not only gotten a half-game closer to the Steelers in the AFC North but really look like the team to beat.
The Steelers and Ravens square off in just two weeks and with both showdowns still on the schedule, the Steelers will have ever opportunity to prove the critics wrong. But watching Baltimore run up 280 passing yards and get 106 rushing from Derrick Henry, this team seems like a real threat to the Steelers.
Pittsburgh squared off with those same Broncos earlier in the season and against a much less experienced Bo Nix were only able to pull off a 13-6 win. Pittsburgh hasn't won the AFC North since 2020 and face an absolutely brutal second-half of the schedule even beyond two games against the dangerous Ravens.
