AFC North rival hiring this head coach would be nightmare scenario for Bengals
New England Patriots v Baltimore Ravens - NFL 2025 | Scott Taetsch/GettyImagesThe Cincinnati Bengals presumably lucked out in a big way this offseason, considering the entire rest of the AFC North division shook things up by parting ways with their head coaches. However, what if the difficult moves Cincinnati's rivals made prove to be for the better?

Except that, odds are, at least one of those three vacancies in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, or Cleveland will score a home-run hire and be ready to challenge for the division crown.
