Cleveland is a work in progress and both Baltimore and Cincy are struggling to play above .500 so this is one of those years where there just might be one team making the postseason from the AFC North unlike in the past where two or sometimes even three teams would make it. This season is Roethlisberger's 14th season and he is 35 years old so he only has a couple years left especially if he keeps battling injuries which is becoming a problem because in the last seven years he has only managed to play two seasons without missing any games. The last couple months will be very competitive as they play Indy,Green Bay,New England,Tennessee. Home field could be at stake in the Steelers/Patriots matchup the week before Christmas.
