The AFC North is expected to be another dogfight. Last year, the division joined lofty company and was the best in the entire NFL with three teams making the playoffs and a great win percentage as a whole.
Injuries, primarily to QB Joe Burrow, played a big role in keeping the Cincinnati Bengals out of the playoff chase. The Cleveland Browns overcame their myriad of hurt players to still put up an 11 win season. While some don’t have higher hopes for the Browns in 2024, the state of the AFC North could come down to injuries again.
