The Steelers win over the Browns at home, the return of Ben Roethlisberger, and some losses from other AFC teams have all contributed to them being up on top in this week’s ESPN Power Rankings.
Here’s the top five with the power rankings:
1 Steelers 4-1 If a rusty Ben Roethlisberger is good for three TDs, wait until the QB gets in midseason form. (Walker)
2 Jets 5-1 Rex Ryan enters the bye week with what he bragged about — the league’s best record. (Clayton)
3 Patriots 4-1 Deion Branch looks as though he never left Tom Brady. It’s a dangerous combo. (Clayton)
4 Ravens 4-2 Road losses to New England and Cincinnati prove this team still has room to grow. (Walker)
5 Colts 4-2 WR Pierre Garcon’s one-handed catch vs. Washington barely outpoints DB Aaron Francisco’s one-handed pick. (Kuharsky)
