Believe it or not, but right now, the Baltimore Ravens with a 5-4 record are the frontrunners in the AFC North, albeit with a tenuous grasp on that position. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a game back at 4-5, though the Ravens have a game in hand over them. The Bengals, meanwhile, are still lurking, and play Baltimore twice before the season is over, plus another game against Pittsburgh.
If the Ravens intend to hold on to their division lead over the stretch of the remaining season, they will have to do so while continuing to shuffle the deck chairs along their offensive line, as pretty much every starting offensive lineman has missed some time for them already this year, and they suffered another blow during their Thursday Night victory over the Browns.
