Dein erstes Forum » State of the AFC North: Week 3 After

three weeks of NFL action Adult Mark Andrews Jersey , the AFC North appears to be far more competitive this season than many anticipated. No team has been able to separate themselves from the bunch and put together consecutive games of winning football. In what felt like their super bowl, the Cleveland Browns won their first game since Week 16 of the 2016 season. The Bengals fell to 2-1 after starting undefeated, falling to Carolina on the road. Pittsburgh earned their first victory of the season, outlasting the Buccaneers on Monday night football. Cincinnati and Baltimore are currently tied for first place in the division at 2-1, however the Bengals hold the tiebreaker. The Steelers and Browns round out the bottom of the AFC North at 1-1-1. Ravens defeat Broncos: 27-14 Offensive line bends, but doesn’t break The Ravens offensive line struggles have been a topic of discussion this season, especially after their disastrous performance in Week 2. Against the Broncos, however, they held up surprisingly well. Denver’s All-Pro linebacker, Von Miller, one of the best pass-rushers in the league Miles Boykin Baltimore Ravens Jersey , was held in check throughout the game. He recorded no sacks, no QB hits, and had only two tackles. Miller was also called for multiple pre-snap penalties.

Young got the start in place of the injured C.J. Mosley and was the Ravens best defensive player throughout the game. Young was all over the field on Sunday.

Young has end-to-end athleticism and is skilled in coverage, an area where other linebackers on the roster often struggle. His performance against the Broncos was no fluke, as Young has been making plays on the field all season. It’s early in the season and in his career, but it certainly appears the Ravens may have landed a potential star and long-term starter at linebacker in the draft.

Not only was he celebrating his 28th birthday on Thursday night, but Hyde was also celebrating the birth of his first child.Hyde announced the birth of his son, Carlos Hyde Jr., on twitter after the game.

Tyler Boyd, who had six catches for 131 yards a touchdown in Week 3, will have to step up in his absence, as will tight end Tyler Eifert. Turnovers prove costly Entering Sunday’s contest against the Panthers, Andy Dalton had gotten off to a strong start this season. He held a 6:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and threw four touchdowns and zero picks against the Ravens in Week 2.He was unable to replicate that performance in Week 3 and regressed.

Balanced passing attack In prior years, Antonio Brown has been the key focal point of Steelers passing offense.
