Four weeks into the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers run the AFC North — with their 3-1 record leading the 2-2 Cincinnati Bengals, the 1-3 Baltimore Ravens, and the 1-3 Cleveland Browns.
Following the Bengals‘ 28-3 loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football, the Steelers sit atop the AFC North — and there’s little reason to believe any of their rivals will challenge the divisional throne any time soon.

The Ravens are dealing with a multitude of injuries on both sides of the ball, including QB Lamar Jackson and DT Nnamdi Madubuike, the latter of whom is out for the season with a neck injury. Things are eerily similar for the Bengals, whose superstar QB Joe Burrow is set to miss significant time after suffering turf toe. And as for Cleveland — in the words of former Steelers fan favorite JuJu Smith-Schuster, “the Browns is the Browns.”
Following their Week 5 bye, the Steelers will host the Browns in Week 6 on October 12 — the first of Pittsburgh’s divisional matchups this season.
