	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.

	AFC North goes winless
		The AFC North is the only one of the NFL's eight divisions to be swept in the first round of games.
		It's only one week, but the AFC North might not be the league's strongest division in the first season of realignment.
		And the four teams that defeated AFC North teams are coming off a season in which they had a combined record of 23-41 - and that includes the 11-5 Super Bowl champion Patriots.

	News - Improvement name of game in AFC North - Cincinnati Bengals
		The AFC North has a few other distinctions that sets it apart from the rest of the NFL.
		The last point of distinction about the North is that it generated the least number of wins of any division in the NFL with 29.
		They didn't have a receiver in the top 20 in the AFC in receptions, they lost their case in getting Terrell Owens, and they replace the loss of Marcus Robinson and his 14.5 yards per catch with Kevin Johnson.

	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.

		Fans witnessed a return to prominence, a championship run unlike any other, and the rekindling of a rivalry that is likely to last for a long time.
		In 2005, the Bengals had their best season in 15 years, earning an AFC North title and a return to the playoffs.
		They also rekindled their rivalry with Pittsburgh; revenge may be a motivation in 2006 after the way the Steelers ended the Bengals' season.

		Three of the four division teams should be playoff contenders as Pittsburgh tries to hold off Baltimore and Cincinnati to defend its AFC North title, while the Steelers attempt to take that next step themselves.
		The two teams have split the past four division titles (including the old Central Division), and the Ravens were the only ones to beat Pittsburgh in the 2004 regular season.

		The Steelers did not win the AFC North for the first time in the division's history last year.
		The Steelers were favored to run away with their third consecutive division crown (beginning with the final AFC Central championship in 2001) but badly derailed along the way and Baltimore snapped it up.
		If he cannot, they have a backup who played in two AFC championships, Kordell Stewart, and wouldn't that be a kick if Boller came down with a cold and Stewart had to play on Sept. 19 when the Steelers come to town.

		The Bengals came into the game winners of five of their last six and three in a row in racking up their first 10-win season since 1988, but with Pittsburgh winning in Minnesota the Bengals needed to win Sunday to take home their first title since 1990 and secure a home playoff game.

	SI.com - Writers - Don Banks: Steelers remind Bengals who's in charge of AFC North - Sunday October 23, 2005 10:00PM
		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.

		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.
