The AFC North was once considered the best division in football. In the 2025 season, however, it is the worst division through four games as a collective.
All four teams in this cluster have a negative points differential. And two of the four teams are in the bottom four of the NFL in that damning category.
But within the division, one of these teams will make the playoffs. Expecting anyone other than the AFC North champ to emerge with a postseason berth, given the results in hand of the first four weeks of the season, is asking too much.
