Only two of the four teams in the AFC North were in action in Week 7, with the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers both on a bye week.
The division-leading Baltimore Ravens cruised to an impressive 30-16 victory in Seattle over the Seahawks. Second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson ran for over 100 yards and pulled all the right strings to help the Ravens win. They also got a pick-6 from newcomer Marcus Peters, the first interception thrown by Seahawks QB Russell Wilson all season.
Baltimore improved to 5-2 to assert their place at the top. The Bengals fell to 0-7 to secure their status as bottom-dweller by blowing a fourth-quarter lead against Jacksonville and losing 27-17 to the Jaguars. For the third week in a row, the Bengals run defense allowed over 200 yards on the ground.
The Steelers still managed to break into the NFL news cycle even on the bye week. Linebacker Anthony Chickillo was arrested on several counts for a domestic dispute at a Pennsylvania resort.
