Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow recently stole the headlines for his comments about the Kansas City Chiefs.
He recently claimed that as good a team as they are, he strongly believes the Bengals are built to take them down.
They’ve found success against them in the past, including a win in the AFC Championship Game a couple of seasons ago, so that’s not a far-fetched thought.
Even so, NFL analyst Craig Carton believes they shouldn’t focus on the Chiefs right now.
Instead, he thinks they need to worry about their own division, as the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be a legitimate problem (via The Carton Show).
“The Pittsburgh Steelers are a problem for people now.”

That makes perfect sense.
Even despite having the worst quarterback room in the game, the Steelers still managed to make it to the playoffs.
They have one of the best defenses in the league and a savvy and proven winner in a coach like Mike Tomlin, a guy who’s even more dangerous when he’s counted out or an underdog.
Replacing Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, and Kenny Pickett with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson was a major improvement for this organization.
They don’t even need to be stars to give them more than they got from the quarterback position in the past couple of years.
The AFC North Division now has four teams that could legitimately make a deep postseason run, which is why the Bengals must focus on getting past them first before even thinking of dealing with the reigning Super Bowl champions in the playoffs.
