player. 55. <p><strong>Harrison: 8</strong></p> <p>You may be wondering how a 1-1 team breaks into the top five. Harrison would be asking me the same question. Considering that the Steelers lost to the best team in the NFL by just one score in Week 1 and then walloped the 49ers on Sunday, they are more deserving than just about any other team of the No. 5 spot. The Bengals are not in the same class as the Steelers on offense, and the Cowboys are crippled to some degree without Romo; thus, the Steelers take precedence.</p> <p>Mike Tomlin will have some tough but wonderful decisions to make when Le’Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant return to the lineup. DeAngelo Williams has been more than decent filling-in for Bell, racking up 204 yards and three touchdowns while averaging five yards per carry in two games. With Bryant back in the fold, there will be one more mouth to feed at a stacked dining table of Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Sammie Coates.</p>. AFC North. 1-1. Pittsburgh Steelers. 5
