Games are won and lost in the trenches on both sides of the football, and that is nowhere truer than in the AFC North at the moment.
In years past, the trenches were loaded with talent in the rugged AFC North, but that hasn’t been the case in recent years as one team or another has seemingly skimped on investing in the offensive line, leading to a relative lack of talent overall.
