The two best divisions in the NFL this year will be the NFC West and AFC North.
Last year in a pandemic season, the league announced that there would become one additional Wild Card playoff team in each conference. That worked in the Browns’ favor as they slide into one of those final spots as the sixth seed after an impressive 11-5-0 season which tied the final records with three other clubs.
But for the AFC North, three teams made the playoffs: Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and the Browns. That was only the eighth time in the 100-year history of the NFL that three franchises from the same division had made the playoffs so the event was quite an achievement for the division.
