Bye week: Are the Steelers GOOD ENOUGH to win AFC North? Or is early advantage a mirage?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko take a look at where the Steelers sit heading into their bye week. Are the Steelers good enough to win the AFC North, with Lamar Jackson injured and the Baltimore Ravens struggling? Or is this 3-1 start just a mirage buoyed by a weak schedule? Could the Cincinnati Bengals make some noise late if Joe Burrow returns? Or are they too far gone without him to pass to receivers like Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins? Chris and Brian also give their AFC North Week 5 predictions as the Steelers stay home for their bye week. Will the Ravens bounce back against the offensively challenged Texans with Lamar Jackson's status up in the air? Will the Bengals find their footing behind Jake Browning against the high-flying Lions? And how will Dillon Gabriel fare in his first career start for the Browns against the Vikings in London? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
