NFL Nation reporters from the AFC North -- Jeremy Fowler, Coley Harvey, Jamison Hensley and Pat McManamon -- have reviewed the film and sorted through the analytics to determine the 2015 annual awards for the division. On Thursday, we're handing out the AFC North coach of the year.
Winner: Mike Tomlin
Runner-up: Marvin Lewis
The Pittsburgh Steelers' Tomlin was not among the seven who received votes for NFL Coach of the Year in 2015, and the Carolina Panthers' Ron Rivera was rightfully the runaway winner.
But, in terms of the AFC North, Tomlin was the no-brainer for the coach of the year.
