Topic: AFC North


  
  AFC North - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AFC North refers to the Northern Division of the American Football Conference of the National Football League that was created in 2002 when the league realigned divisions after expanding to 32 teams.
The Jacksonville Jaguars joined the AFC Central in 1995 and the Ravens in 1996, but the Jaguars and Titans have since been realigned to the AFC South.
The Bengals were the only team to represent the AFC Central in the Super Bowl during the decade, appearing in Super Bowls XVI and XXIII.

 Best Division in football? - KFFL Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
the AFC is up by 7 games in the head to head against the NFC which I would guess everyone thought the AFC was the better conference at this point.
Both A North And N East are playing against the best possible division both in their own conference and the other, and still they manage to stay as clear # 1 and 2 (cleveland 1-3 is the most active team so far, so A North could pull away in the next games).
the afc west is close but not as good as the south as all of the souths teams are better than the wests if you line them up 1-4.

The Cincinnati Bengals may control the AFC North, but Marvin Lewis' team won't erase the remaining doubts about their strength until they knock out the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But Pittsburgh is still considered by many to be the team to beat in the North, with last year's 15-1 record, trip to the AFC Championship, and general ownership of Cincinnati and every other club in the division giving Bill Cowher's club an elite status not yet achieved by the Bengals.
The Bengals have been the class of the AFC North thus far, but they have yet to play a team as strong as the Steelers.

CINCINNATI -- With seven weeks down and 10 to go, the standings in the AFC North still say the Cincinnati Bengals are holding down first place, a half-game ahead of the defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Bengals were full of coulda, shoulda, woulda, but when it mattered in the first half and early in the third quarter, they couldn't get it done.
And because of it, Cincinnati missed the chance to improve to 6-1 and build a commanding 2½-game lead in the division, claiming the early head-to-head tiebreaker over the team that has won three of the past four AFC North titles.

 Buffalo Bills
The Bills guaranteed themselves a trip to Houston to battle the expansion Texans earlier this season when guaranteed they could not catch the Dolphins, Jets and Patriots in the division, setting them in the fourth seed in the new AFC East for scheduling purposes.
They also guaranteed themselves to host the fourth seed in the new AFC North, meaning they would face the Bengals, Browns, Ravens or Steelers, depending on those team's finishes.
With Cincinnati falling to 4-10 with this week's loss and now trailing Cleveland (6-8) by a pair of games with the Bengals hosting the Steelers, a Pittsburgh win or a Cleveland win over Tennessee guarantees the Bengals a ticket to Orchard Park next fall.
