Coming into the season, most talking heads around the NFL world thought the AFC North would be very competitive. It was in 2023, with all four teams finishing with a winning record.

Tomlin shared his thoughts on the Week 13 edition of The Mike Tomlin Show, posted on the Steelers’ official YouTube channel on Saturday.
