The Bengals may have taken a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, but a slow start by the Steelers allows Cincy to keep control of the AFC North. A half game up of the Baltimore Ravens and the Steelers, the Bengals can grow their lead in Week 7.
Pittsburgh being on a bye helps Cincy. They’re able to take a full game lead on the Steelers and depending on the Ravens outcome, a full game overall in the division. With the AFC North being as competitive as it is this season, it’ll be important to head into the second half with the lead.
