The Steelers have rallied from a start to get above. They have key early wins over the Bills, Broncos and Browns to make up for the Raiders and Bengals stumbles.
Last season's division winners will have eyes on displacing the Ravens, but they profile more as a wild-card team with their offensive limitations around Ben Roethlisberger, even with rookie running back Najee Harris providing a big spark.
But their remaining strength of schedule is at. From Week 10, it won't be easy, but the Steelers' defense and coaching can keep them above.

The Patriots' padded resume includes two wins over the Jets and one each against the Panthers and Texans. But Week 8's road upset of the Chargers was a good sign they can be a factor in the AFC, now only a half-game behind the Bills.

The Chiefs' only AFC win came against the Browns at home in Week 1, but they can make up a ton of ground with seven conference games remaining.
Losing to the Titans, Ravens and Bills make it almost certain the Chiefs won't be the top seed with the lone bye and home-field advantage again. But look for them to get as hot as the primary color of their jerseys in the second half, stealing back in the division in a tiebreaker over the Chargers. Season Preseason Regular season.
