Overview

• Pittsburgh moved to a one-game AFC North lead at 3-1 during its bye, becoming the division’s only team with a winning record.
• Cleveland fell to 1-4 with a 21-17 loss to Minnesota in London, Baltimore dropped to 1-4 in a 44-10 defeat to Houston, and Cincinnati slid to 2-3 after a 37-24 home loss to Detroit.
• The Steelers host the Browns in Week 6, facing rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel in his first true road start.
• They then visit the Bengals on Thursday Night Football before hosting the Packers in Week 8, which would mark Aaron Rodgers’ first game against Green Bay.
• Rival setbacks include a battered Ravens roster and the Bengals playing without Joe Burrow, who is expected to miss at least three months with a turf toe injury, though Pittsburgh still has all six division games ahead after last year’s early lead fizzled.
