Overview

• Pittsburgh emerged from its bye at 3-1 as the AFC North's only team with a winning record after losses by Cincinnati, Baltimore and Cleveland.
• Week 5 results: the Browns fell to the Vikings in London, the Ravens were routed by the Texans, and the Bengals lost at home to the Lions.
• Baltimore has been without multiple stars, including Lamar Jackson, Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey and Roquan Smith, limiting its immediate rebound.
• Cincinnati's outlook is constrained with quarterback Joe Burrow expected to miss roughly three months due to a severe turf toe injury.
• The Steelers host the Browns in Week 6 before a Thursday night trip to the Bengals, as betting markets still favor Baltimore per FanDuel while a Steelers Wire projection pegs Pittsburgh for an 11-6 finish.
