Eh, the dominance is rather coming to an end because the Browns aren't absolute garbage anymore, which they've clearly been for the biggest part of Big Ben's career. The Bengals are a different caliber with Burrow and Chase too; the two are already looking better than Dalton and Green ever did. Steelers vs. Ravens has almost always been close in results, so not dominant to begin with.

The Steelers defense is still top shelf, so the team merely needs a serviceable QB to grind out wins in the AFC North. Even this year with Big Ben being a shadow of his former self, the Steelers went 4-2 in the AFC North.

The Browns are no threat because they no longer have a deep threat game. Not even a little. And they are very likely to Brown it next season. The problem is not only Baker, but the coach. Stefanski showed his colors this season. He's not one to work around talent, he sticks to a system. You have a rock star WR like OBJ? well fuck you OBJ cuz I'm gonna stick you into a system that murders any talent you have. RBs and TEs rule Stefanski's mind. The Browns WRs are not developed nor do they ever have any opportunity to on field. The current WRs want out, and no WRs want to come to Cleveland. Even if the Browns get a talented QB, the system doesn't let them loose. And Stefanski is too stubborn to let QBs play out of structure.

I highly anticipate Kirk Cousins making his way to Cleveland because the newly hired GM for the Vikings is a highly respected, highly inteligent Browns' front office man. Add to the fact Stefanski was Kirks original QB coach in Minnesota. The two organizations are gonna be very open to communication and trades/deals.
