It might have taken a while for the Steelers offense to come alive against the Titans on Thursday Night Football, but that’s eventually what happened in the fourth quarter en route to the team’s fifth-straight win this season.

Seventeen unanswered points in the fourth quarter ensured quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Co. would go home happy, and some might even say Pittsburgh’s offense still isn’t firing on all cylinders yet.

Especially when running back Le’Veon Bell managed just 46 yards on 12 carries.

But when your team has wide receiver Antonio Brown putting up three touchdowns and 144 receiving yards, it’s pretty easy not to worry about the running game so much.

The Steelers are starting to run away with the AFC North and may be the only legitimate challenger in the conference to the next team in our NFL power rankings.
