The AFC North managed to send two teams to the playoffs this year, and very nearly three. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), the two teams that made it had to play one another in the wildcard round, so one had to lose.
In this instance, it happened to be the Baltimore Ravens under head coach John Harbaugh, who owns the record for the most road playoff victories in NFL history. It didn’t work out for him on Sunday night in Cincinnati, however, where, before last season, the Bengals hadn’t won a playoff game since 1990 (or anywhere else for that matter).
