Steelers Re-Gain First Place in AFC North after Ravens Loss to Bengals

Steelers Re-Gain First Place in AFC North after Ravens Loss to Bengals

Despite not doing anything other than enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers re-gained sole possession of first place in the AFC North after the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals forced five turnover and held Jackson in check all night in a 32-14 rout of the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

Jackson threw an interception, was sacked three times and lost...

AFC Playoff Picture: Pittsburgh Steelers are the AFC North leaders again

The Baltimore Ravens lost on Thanksgiving, so the Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place once again. It was a short four days that the Ravens took over the lead and the Steelers need to win on Sunday to keep it.
