First off, let’s make it clear that we have no issue with the Pittsburgh Steelers being ranked No. 14 in the latest NFL network power rankings. We say this with one massive caveat.
It is grossly disrespectful to put the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns ahead of them. The Steelers have already beaten the Browns and the Steelers are ranked ahead of both of them in the AFC North.
NFL Network has the Baltimore Ravens all the way up at No. 2 which should only strengthen the Steelers case considering the Steelers beat the Ravens.
How we feeling about the latest Power Rankings?

NFL Network ranked the 5-3 Browns at No. 10 and the 5-3 Bengals at No. 9. The Steelers have another game against the Browns in the second half of the season as well as both games against the Bengals so this will sort itself out over the next two months.
