AFC North race heats up after Ravens falter

The Cincinnati Bengals now control their own destiny in the AFC North Division. Their 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans Sunday afternoon, coupled with the Jacksonville Jaguar’s 28-27 upset of the Baltimore Ravens, left the Bengals and Ravens tied atop the division at 7-4. Cleveland improved to 4-7 after topping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 23-17 in overtime, while Pittsburgh held off the Baltimore Colts, 24-17, Monday night.

Cincinnati hosts Baltimore on January 8 in the final game of the season, with a playoff berth likely on the line.

Nick Chubb bounced back from his worst outing of the season last week with a 116-yard effort that included the winning points on a 3-yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left in overtime.
