The month of October was a good one to the Baltimore Ravens, who went 3-0 with two AFC North division wins. They now sit in first place in the division.
Nothing has shaken out in the AFC North the way that it was supposed to. The Cleveland Browns are, in fact, not a good football team. That fact alone has shaken the NFL to its core somehow. Maybe we could’ve looked at history and realized that it was bound to repeat itself? Time is a flat circle, and we’ve seen repeatedly that “dream teams” just don’t work in pro football.
Still, the AFC North has remained somewhat competitive… Despite the Baltimore Ravens seemingly running away with the division (pun intended), the Pittsburgh Steelers are still a tough-out for teams to run into week-after-week. And then there’s the Cincinnati Bengals who, well… they just aren’t any good.
Right now, the AFC North is the Baltimore Ravens to lose, but the Pittsburgh Steelers will make it an interesting race. With the way the Steelers are playing right now, we can’t count them out as a team to play spoiler to the Ravens season. And with all the talent that the Cleveland Browns still possess, maybe, juuuuuust maybe, they can put it all together…
