The have the distinction of living in the best division in the NFL, the AFC North. Every team has a winning record. Before this past Sunday’s game, all four clubs were listed winning a playoff position. Baltimore was the frontrunner to win the division, and then the Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals were slotted at the number five through seven seeds.
As jumbled as the division is, Sunday’s games provided only a hint of clarity. Cleveland’s signature comeback win over the Ravens, another Steelers win over an average team, and the Bengals’ unexpected loss to an up-and-coming Houston Texans scrambled the playoff picture a bit.
