DEJAN KOVACEVIC, DK ON PITTSBURGH SPORTS
News: Ravens romp, Browns and Bengals fall hard. Really hard.
Views: Insane as it sounds, the AFC North is very much there for the taking for the Steelers, whose 3-3 record matches Cleveland’s for worst in the division but is only a couple games back of Baltimore’s 5-2. And with the way the continually exposed Andy Dalton and Cincinnati’s offense are crumbling, coupled with key injuries, I wouldn’t hesitate to put the Bengals in the same class.
That said, Joe Flacco and the Ravens’ offense struck it rich the past two weeks against two terrible defenses, Tampa Bay and Atlanta. And while it’s commendable to take care of business, it’s hardly a sign of legit contention.
I’ll have a full column Monday morning on Dick LeBeau and the Steelers’ status-quo defense.
