There were no AFC North games on the slate yesterday, but the division still made news through quarterback rumors and Week 6 projections. The Baltimore Ravens sit atop the standings at 4-1, with the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers all bunched at 3-2.
Andy Dalton’s future in focus, with Bengals ties
According to Pro Football Rumors, citing NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Andy Dalton is currently considering offers from multiple teams after his brief stint with the Philadelphia Eagles ended earlier this month. The 16th-year quarterback is a free agent, and a return to Philadelphia is described as a possibility.
No AFC North team is directly connected to those offers at this stage, but Dalton’s situation is still notable in Cincinnati. He was the longtime starter for the Cincinnati Bengals, and any move involving such a prominent former face of the franchise is bound to draw attention for a 3-2 team trying to keep pace with Baltimore.
Ravens-Browns spotlighted as a Week 6 showcase
On the field, CBS Sports has highlighted the matchup between the Baltimore Ravens (4-1) and the Cleveland Browns (3-2) as one of Week 6’s premier games. Writers Jordan Dajani and Jared Dubin go head-to-head with their picks on this and other contests, underscoring how much weight this divisional showdown carries.
For Baltimore, a win would further cement its hold on first place. For Cleveland, a victory would pull the Browns level with the Ravens in the loss column and intensify what is already shaping up as a three- or even four-team race with the Bengals and Steelers.
Steelers land on upset alert
CBS Sports also places the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) on its Week 6 upset alert list, pointing to a scenario in which the rested Tampa Bay Buccaneers could spring an outright surprise. The Steelers are listed among the favorites who are not only at risk of failing to cover the spread but could lose the game altogether.
With three teams at 3-2 chasing the 4-1 Ravens, any stumble by Pittsburgh, Cleveland or Cincinnati could swing the balance of power. Even on a day without games, the coming weekend already looms large for the tightly packed AFC North.
