Entering Week 10, all four AFC North clubs sit in playoff position.<\/p>\n
The Baltimore Ravens reside atop the division at 7-2. Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati hoard all three AFC wild card positions at 5-3.<\/p>\n
Despite the stellar first half of the season, the Ravens haven’t been able to run away with the division.<\/p>\n
“It would be just terrible if everybody was not a good team in our division,” head coach John Harbaugh quipped Monday, via ESPN.<\/p>\n
The Ravens currently sit with a 115-point differential, by far the best in the NFL (second is Buffalo at 80; the 8-1 Eagles sit at 57 net points). Baltimore has shown its Super Bowl upside, blasting NFC contenders Detroit and Seattle in two of the past three weeks.<\/p>\n
And yet, they will remain in an AFC North dogfight.<\/p>\n
“This is a great division,” Harbaugh said. “There’s no doubt it’s the best division, it’s proven.”<\/p>\n
The Ravens have beaten the Bengals and Browns while falling to the Steelers this season. The following two weeks in Baltimore could swing the division into a runaway for the Ravens or tighten the race. Harbaugh’s club hosts division rival Browns on Sunday, then the Bengals next Thursday.<\/p>\n
“We know the teams, these teams are real,” Harbaugh said. “Everybody knows what’s going to happen when we all play each other.”<\/p>\n
