The AFC North is up for grabs this week with the Bengals and the Steelers tied for first with both carrying 6-2 records the Bengals right now hold the tie breaker with their earleir win against the Steelers . But a win this week for the Steelers nullifies that and can put them on top of the AFC North, This game is signifigant for them ,It can put them back on top and keep them in the race. No a win does not mean that they will take the Afc North, but it will keep them in the running, I am quite aware that they still have 2 games with the Ravens, and even tho the Ravens lost to the Bengals Sunday, they are by no means out of this statistically. The Steelers also have one game agaisnt the Browns, and they by no means take any oppenent lighty.


Few thoughts on what I saw Sunday and last night, The Steelers D proves that they are back and ready to get back thier former dominance, the offense struggled in the first half, and came out the second half with a strip fumble from Big Ben, that went back for a score, but I like the way that Ben and the offense responded to the score to the tune of Big Ben going 4-4 and a TD. They put up over 300 yrd in the second half compared to a dismal 54 the first half, The D totally dominated the seond half. They are looking good as we get ready to make our run.

Now to the Bengals and Ravens games, here are some observations that I seen, They looked good in the first half scoring 17 points and shutting down the ravens, but they did not score another point the rest of the game, Yes they still came away with the win but a scoreless second half, . I think the Ravens D adjusted in the second half but, The Offense couldnt get it going, I think that was the difference in that game, Flacco and the Ravens offense are no slouches theirselves and they can be dangerous, Bengals D kept them in check.

So finally, I think that this Sundays game will be a good one and I think the Bengals and Steelers both know what this game means,.
