Thursday night features an AFC North matchup of a team trying to remain alive for the division title and another trying to keep their season alive. Meanwhile, on Sunday, the division leader will take on the AFC South leader in a heavyweight battle while another team desperately searches for their first win of the season.
The Steelers remain in contention for the AFC North despite losing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at the beginning of the season. This is in large part to the strong play of the defense after acquiring safety Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins.
