Here are the most interesting stories Wednesday in the AFC North:

Backup tailback Mewelde Moore continues to be a good utility player for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Morning take: For someone who gets limited playing time, Moore seems to make a lot of big plays. In the recent win over the San Diego Chargers, Moore threw a touchdown pass to tight end Heath Miller in the back of the end zone.

Baltimore Ravens rookie Dannell Ellerbe passed the test with six tackles in his NFL debut at linebacker against the New England Patriots.

Morning take: The Ravens have been high on the rookie free agent for quite some time, and when opportunity knocked, Ellerbe was ready.

The Buffalo Bills (1-3) are also struggling like the Cleveland Browns (0-4).

Morning take: This is a winnable game for Cleveland, even on the road. The Browns need to continue building off the momentum of last week.

The Cincinnati Bengals may have found another receiving threat in tight end J.P. Foschi, who led the team with four catches against Cleveland.

Morning take: I was impressed with Foschi’s hands and ability to get downfield last week. The Bengals are hurting at tight end this season but continue to find players at the position.
