Although everyone may still be mathematically in contention, there is an element of reality which must be setting in for the other AFC North teams. Looking forward at the match-up’s, how many more victories do the Steelers need in order to secure the AFC North?
Here are the current AFC North standings after Week 11 of the NFL season:
- Pittsburgh 7-2-1
- Baltimore 5-5 (2.5 GB)
- Cincinnati 5-5 (2.5 GB)
