AFC North rival’s Week 6 victory puts the pressure on Pittsburgh

Are the Baltimore Ravens beginning to pull away with the AFC North title race after their Week 6 win? Pittsburgh feels the pressure.

The Baltimore Ravens have put pressure on the Pittsburgh Steelers to win their game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Steelers’ AFC North rivals were tied with Pittsburgh for first in the divisional race; however, Baltimore won their matchup with the formidable Washington Commanders earlier today.

Baltimore started off the season slow but has now won four straight games to improve to 4-2. Pittsburgh’s situation is the complete opposite—starting the season undefeated through the first three games but losing their last two matchups.

The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals appear to be non-factors in the AFC North title race. However, Pittsburgh faces all three of their rivals a combined six times between Weeks 11 and 18, and momentum has not been kind to the Steelers down the stretch.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will need to shut down the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6 and stop the bleeding from losing two straight contests.  Can the ‘Steel City’ turn things around and get back to the standard of competing for championships?
