And breathe Baltimore Ravens fans. Will there ever be a Ravens primetime game that doesn’t result in intense stress and sweating come the fourth quarter? It appears not, but at least the Ravens were on the winning side.
Week 12 saw the congested AFC North separate slightly as all four teams played in the division, with the Ravens beating the Cleveland Browns in Baltimore, and the Cincinnati Bengals beating the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second time this season.
This weekend’s results leave the Ravens atop the AFC North, alone, with the Bengals hot on their heels and the Steelers and Browns falling behind at 5-5-1 and 6-6 respectively.
Just six weeks remain in the regular-season schedule, and the AFC North is as tight as ever. Despite being (relatively) far behind the Bengals and Ravens, both Pittsburgh and Cleveland are well within reach, still, of the division crown.
So, as we enter the final stretch of the season, what is the power share in the AFC North?
