As I get knocked off my usual schedule of Blogging after the games are played, let's take a look at how the teams of the AFC North match-up this week.

Baltimore Ravens: 5-2 Going into Heinz Field to face the Steeler's has proved to be very unfruitful for the Ravens as they have not won their since 2006 (the last time they won the division). So it looks like this will be the game to decide the leader of the North as Pittsburgh is ahead with a 6-2 record as of right now. The Ravens handed them a beat down in Week 1 so hopefully they can do it again this week.


Cincinnati Bengals: 5-2 QB Andy Dalton has just been named Rookie of the Month in a well deserved award as he led his team to 4-0 during the month of August. Him and fellow rookie A.J Green are going to be looking to hook up for a touchdown in their fifth consecutive game Sunday against the Titans.


Cleveland Browns: 3-4 Peyton Hillis has just been ruled out for the game Sunday due to re-aggravating his hamstring at practice. This is a big blow for the Browns who were looking to get back on track after a shaky first half of the season. They do not look nearly like the team they were during the last 5 games of last year. And once again this all center's around Hillis who has been hurt and underutilized this whole season.
(please bring back Timmy)

Pittsburgh Steelers: 6-2 Sitting atop the AFC North Pittsburgh is headed into a tough matchup against the Ravens and their #1 defense in the league. Encouraging stats are that the Steelers had previously won 10 in a row against Baltimore before there Week 1 pummeling. So look for Polamala to be a factor and the defenses doing most of the work here.
