There is a longstanding myth about what it means to play in the AFC North Division.
The four-team division, featuring the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Baltimore Ravens, is rife with bitter rivalries, smash-mouth play on both sides of the ball, and a high level of toughness to survive the brutal weather conditions.
Some of that is true, as the Ravens have consistently built a hard-hitting defense, players have to keep their heads on a swivel when playing the Steelers to avoid cheap shots, and there is nothing more satisfying than watching the Browns running game steal the soul of opposing defenses in the fourth quarter.
