In the second-to-last week of the regular season, enormous playoff implications were on the line within the AFC North. This remains true heading into Week 17 but after the Steelers and Ravens’ victories and the Browns loss, we have some clarity heading into the season finale.
The Steelers pulled off a miraculous comeback against the Colts and with their win, they clinch the AFC North title. Behind them is the Ravens, who jump the Browns in the standings by virtue of tiebreaker. Baltimore has won four straight games. The Browns fell to the Jets as a result, their playoff window — while still alive and well — narrowed.
