Here are the most interesting stories Friday in the AFC North:
- A regional tourism agency is hoping it can eventually bring a Super Bowl to Pittsburgh.
Morning take: Pittsburgh is very underrated nationally for its ability to handle big events. But winter weather and stadium capacity are two major issues that would make a Super Bowl bid very tough.
- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Marc Bulger says he has starter Joe Flacco’s back.
Morning take: In this league the backup quarterback always has to stay ready, and Bulger is aware of that.
