It was a quiet week in Northeast Ohio as the Cleveland Browns were on their bye week. However, Week 5 carried on without them as their AFC North rivals Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers came away with wins on the day.
Despite an up-and-down four weeks for the Browns, there is still plenty of football ahead of them. They consider themselves Super Bowl contenders in their building, even if they have some offensive issues to figure out. And if Week 5 proved anything, the AFC is wide open.
The Browns take the field again next week at home against the San Francisco 49ers, looking to get back on track. They will also take on the rest of the AFC South and NFC West as well.
Here we take a look at how the rest of the AFC faired and what that means for the Browns moving forward as they enter the long stretch of their season.
